Now I know what youre thinking.

Why dont I just go with one of thebest laptopsinstead?

Then, I could truly work from anywhere just like I do from the comfort of my home office.

Heres how I came up with this novel approach to on-the-go computing to better fit my unique workflow.

Not only is it powerful, its also pocketable thanks to its tiny 5.75 x 4.13 x 0.79-inch frame.

The main reason I chose the Khadas Mind for this project is because of its ports and portability though.

This pocketable and modular mini PC packs a ton of power into a tiny package.

Instead, they draw their power from the equipment theyre connected to.

I didnt have to configure anything and they were truly plug and play.

The best part though is that you just plug them into a compatible USB-C equipped unit to get started.

To that end, I decided to pick up the 25,000 mAh version of the Ugreen Nexode Power Bank.

Another reason that I picked this particular power bank is that its flight approved but more on that later.

One thing that I really liked about wearing the Xreal One glasses is that you could change their transparency.

For instance, at home, I really enjoyed using the completely black theater mode while watching content online.

Not just for coffee shops

Now for the kicker.

After checking into my hotel, I broke out everything again and got to work.
