At 25 pages per minute, Epson’s new DS-320 document scanner is the fastest in its class. Built for professionals on the go, the portable scanner can be plugged into a wall or powered straight over a USB connection. It also features a 20-page automatic document feeder and one-pass duplex scanning, perfect for digitizing business cards and other print materials that would otherwise have to be carried with you.

In addition to saving documents to a user’s computer, the scanner can upload them directly to various cloud services, including Evernote, Google Drive, Dropbox, and more. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software can create searchable PDFs and editable Microsoft Word files from text documents, while the included Epson Document Capture software has additional features for digitizing photos, including automatic image clean up, cropping, and color enhancement. Users who would prefer to use their existing document management software with the DS-320 can do so thanks to TWAIN driver support.

Epson describes the scanner as being able to handle a wide variety of media types that road warriors are likely to come across, from paper receipts to stiff ID tags, with ease. Business cards collected from events can be scanned stacks at a time and organized with the included Presto! BizCard software. At 8.5 inches wide, the DS-320 can handle most common document sizes down to a minimum of 2 by 2.75 inches. It can also receive panoramic media up to 44 inches long. It has an optical resolution of 600 dots per inch (1,200 with interpolation) and 48-bit color input (24-bit output).

At 11 inches wide by 3.5 inches deep and just 2 inches tall, the scanner is also well suited to a home office or event space where desk space is limited. It will be available later this month from select retailers and Epson.com for $299.

You don't need to spend several hundreds of dollars on a new laptop that you'll use as a productivity tool because there are budget-friendly options like the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA. It's actually currently even cheaper from Walmart after an $80 discount, which brings its price down to just $199 from $279 originally. There's no telling how much time is remaining before the offer expires though, so if you want to take advantage of it, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA
For a laptop that will be able to handle basic activities like doing online research, building reports, and browsing social media, you can't go wrong with the Asus Vivobook Go L510MA. It's equipped with the Intel Pentium Silver N5030 processor and 4GB of RAM, which are a far cry from the specifications of the best laptops, but it will be enough for simple tasks. The device also comes with a 15.6-inch screen with Full HD resolution, which is pretty large and sharp for its price, but it's still portable as it only weights about 3.5 pounds with a thickness of just 0.72 of an inch.
