Who knew pens could be so smart? The Livescribe pen collection is definitely a good pick for anyone working as an entrepreneur. The Echo Smartpen is part of the collection and an affordable option to keep in mind.
The pen will allow you to capture your notes and transfer them directly on the desktop. You can even capture audio with it which ensures you can reference the exact things that were being said when you wrote the note.
Amazon Echo
You should also consider adding the Amazon Echo into your new office. The voice activated PA can help you with conversions and calculations. It can look up things for you, you can use it to buy things online and it’s even good for listening to the news or playing background music while you work.
Samsung Chromebook Plus
Samsung Chromebook Plus was unveiled at CES 2017. A high-end Chromebook that is perfect for entrepreneurs who regularly have to hit the road. If you want to keep working while travelling or sitting at home, then this is your pick.
The Chromebook has a proper HD display that is fully rotatable and compatible with all Google Play apps. The tablet runs an OP1 Hexacore processor at 2GHz. You can also enjoy 4GB RAM and an impressive 32GB internal storage.
Poweradd Pro Solar Panel Charger
You might be spending quite a bit of time on the road. When you are out and about, you can end up face-to-face with the worst thing in the world: an empty smartphone battery. You might also work on your laptop and suddenly realise there is nowhere to charge.
For these moments, Poweradd Pro Solar Panel charger is the perfect gadget. It’s made better by the fact that you can carry it with you, charge multiple devices with it and the fact it gets its energy from the sun!
Primero Trio Mobile Colour Printer
When you are on the road or working with a limited office space, you can’t have a huge printer to carry around with you. A mobile printer is definitely a good investment, as you never know what you might need to print out to boost your business.
Primero Trio Mobile colour printer is a superb pick. It requires a micro USB cable to connect to the host device and to charge and you can use it for scanning and copying files, as well as printing. The printer is lightweight, although it can feel a little slow at the start.
DiskAshur Pro 500GB
Data security is something new business owners must take seriously. You will quickly be out of business if you don’t keep trade secrets and customer information secure. To do that, you should consider buying diskAshur Pro 500GB.
The drive offers 500GB storage and you need to enter an identifier between seven and 15 digits in order to access the data inside it. It works on multiple operating systems and the encryption is world-class.
Satechi Slim Aluminium Type-C Multi-Port Adapter
Now, you might end up with tons of different cables and charges clogging the office space. The trend in modern laptops and smartphones is to move to a lonely USB Type-C port instead of multiple ports. This looks cool but it doesn’t always seem functional.
The solution is to buy the Satechi Slim Aluminium Type-C Multi-Port Adapter. It comes with simple plug and play usability and numerous ports you can connect to your device. Not to mention the design – it looks beautiful!
Mr Coffee Smart Wi-Fi Enabled WeMo
Finally, it might seem a bit of a novelty but do you really want to take 15-minutes just to make coffee? You want to drink coffee but it can be quite a time-waster having to get up and make it – time you can spend building up your business.
The smart Wi-Fi coffee maker is the solution. It allows you to control the brewing process with your smartphone. The system can even detect you entering the office and send you a note asking if you’d like a cup – sounds amazing!
Now, such tech gadgets won’t also cost you a fortune and they can help you save money. If you are worried about the cost of buying things – especially as a new entrepreneur – you can find technology retailers offering voucher codes at a site known as “VoucherBin” and thus you can save lots more for your other business expenses.
If you want to succeed with your new business venture, then use technology to your advantage. The above eight tech gadgets are perfect companions for new entrepreneurs.
