YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU

AFTER A LONG, HARD WINTER, SUMMERTIME IS FINALLY HERE.
WHICH MEANS IT’S TIME FOR BEACHES, BARBEQUES, AND FAM-
ILY VACATIONS. IF YOU’RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET SUMMER

FRIDAYS, THE WEEK IS A FEW HOURS SHORTER UNTIL LABOR
DAY—BUT FEWER HOURS IN THE OFFICE DOESN’T MEAN THE
WORK WON’T PILE UP. IF YOU’RE TAKING MORE OF IT HOME WITH
YOU TO GET DONE AT THE SHORE HOUSE OR VISITING DAY WEEK-

END, HERE ARE THREE MUST-HAVE TOOLS TO GET YOUR TASKS
COMPLETED WITH PLENTY OF TIME LEFT BY THE POOL.

Web Access: Wherever, Whenever

You remembered to pack your laptop and your power cords and
that important ile that absolutely must be done by Monday morning,

but when you get to the motel, the internet connection is less than
ideal for getting anything done. Nightmare. But with the N150 Wire-

less 3G/4G Travel Router, you’ll always have a speedy connection to
get online. Connect the portable router to any modem and you can
plug in multiple devices for a safe and reliable web session.

The Keyboard That Fits
in Your Pocket

Sometimes work-related typing just can’t be
done on a phone or a tablet. So pack the Zagg

Pocket Foldable Wireless Keyboard in your week-
end bag so you can still get serious work done

while the crew is getting ready for dinner. The A Swiss Army
mobile keyboard hooks up to smartphones and
tablets for a typing experience that’s as close to Knife for Tech

would be carrying one of these. The
Brunton Power Knife is your one-stop

shop for every kind of USB connec-
tion your many devices throw at you,
which typically all require a separate

charger and jack. All those wires and
cables take up way too much room in

your beach bag, so it’s time to replace
them with a foldable tool that charges

everything in your arsenal—from an
iPhone to a tablet—with four, USB,

mini USB, 30-pin, and Lightning ports.
