If you are prepared, there is no worry!
You have to take a laptop outside, open it on the go and work.Such a scene will be in everyone.Now, nomad workers who do not have an office and continue to work outside are no longer unusual.However, there are things that I want to prepare because I leave my home or company.Because of the neglect of that preparation, there should be a very painful feeling.
So, let's introduce 5 Nomad Workers must -have items recommended by the Gizmodo editorial department.Despite various product names, it is natural that the situation is different if the country is different, and in Japan, there are many cases in Japan.For your reference, please try to prepare the perfect 5 dishes yourself.
No matter how much a laptop that keeps the battery, the battery level will always be difficult after a long time.Is it forced to cut the work on the way, or can you secure a power supply so that you can finish it to the end?This may be a big difference in productivity.
If you want to charge a smartphone a little, it will be quite limited to a mobile battery that enables enough charge to the laptop.But I think it's worth spending money."MOPHIE POWERSTATION USB-C XXL", which can be purchased for $ 150 (about 16,000 yen), supports a type of laptop charging from the USB Type-C port, and can charge two units at the same time with a capacity of 19,500 mAh.。The $ 83 (about 9,000 yen) "Anker PowerCore+ 20100" can be charged via the USB Type-C port, which is a large-capacity mobile battery of 21,000 mAh.
When choosing a mobile battery, check the wattage you need.Most laptops (models that can be charged from the USB Type-C port) can be charged with the above mobile battery, but some models require 60W output.For example, normal MacBook is 40W, but MacBook Pro has a difference of 60W.In catalogs, etc., there are some notations like 12V / 4A, so let's use both to find the wattage.If it is the previous specification, it will be 48W for 12x4.There is also a mobile battery of "MAXOAK" with a capacity of 50,000 mAh!
To prepare the Internet connection environment most easily on the go, you should turn on your smartphone tethering.Although there is a little anxiety in terms of security, it may be possible to use public free Wi-Fi.
But in the long run, it's never better to prepare a hot spot with a mobile router.For a nomad worker, considering that securing power is the biggest problem, it is not a tethering that eats a smartphone battery, but a dedicated mobile router for internet connection.
Despite the two-year contract, the "ZTE FALCON Z-917", which can be used on the T-Mobile line, is available for $ 45 (about 4,900 yen).You can connect up to 10 units at the same time.On the other hand, the "JETPACK MIFI 7730L", which can be used on the Verizon line, supports up to 15 simultaneous connections.49.It can be purchased for $ 99 (about 5,500 yen).It is an excellent thing that has a function as a mobile battery.
The use style is common because the data is stored in the cloud and the data is almost not stored locally.However, it is honest that you want to access the data quickly without connecting to the Internet on the go.
It is now an era where you can get a variety of external drives at a low price.However, if you choose it anyway, make it as large as possible.The WD brand "My Passport SSD" is 99.You can secure 256GB capacity for $ 99 (about 10,000 yen).SSD is also high -speed reading and writing.Seagate's "Duet" is also 99.It is $ 99 (about 10,000 yen), but it is a 1TB large -capacity drive.Automatic synchronization with Amazon Drive is also supported.
If your work is crossed overseas, you will need to prepare another adapter because the plug shape of the AC outlet is different.Even if it is not such a large movement, just put a powered adapter in your bag should be very useful.
37."Foval International Power Travel Adapter" that can be purchased for $ 98 (about 4,100 yen), 16.The $ 58 (about 1,800 yen) Iron-M University Travel Adapter is compatible with the plug shape of AC outlets around the world.It has an output to the USB port, and it can charge many electronic devices at the same time, so it will increase efficiency.
When you work outside, you are still worried about the surrounding noise.How about playing music so that you can work calmly?
Earphones should be available, even if you don't spend so expensive.Anyway, it would be nice to choose a built -in microphone type and prepare a model that can be useful for video conferences.If you have a budget in a wireless environment, you will not have the option to beat Apple's "AirPods".$ 159 (about 17,000 yen) is not a cheap shopping, but you can use it not only on Mac and iPhone but also with Windows machines.Also, if you want to stick to the sound quality anyway, we recommend Sony's "WH-1000XM2".There is some reputation that the sound quality is better than BOSE's headphones, and it may be worth $ 348 (about 38,000 yen).
