CES 2015 – Technology for Travelers Day 3
The posts from the previous days are here for Day 1 and here for Day 2.

CES 2015 – Technology for Travelers Day 2
The first of the technology gadgets for travelers seen during my first day at CES 2015 is here. Ironically, it was computer/internet glitches that prevented me from posting Day 2 yesterday.

Does the Perfect Travel Laptop Exist?
I have traveled with laptops for years and still can’t find one that is perfect. But thanks to technology, it is getting closer. First, the screen has to be a decent size. The 10” netbooks are cute but not large enough to open wide Excel spreadsheets or programs like Tweetdeck. Moreover, they are not loaded…
