          Laptop, USB3 HDD, USB flash drive, USB to SATA, power cord, notebooks (very few notes actually taken, don't know why I keep them), and a USB3 to network adapter, phone charger, USB to Type-C cord. That's the normal stuff anyway.

          Yes, we do a lot of bench work.

                I usually have:

                • Laptop, power supply, cat6 cable, usb3 ethernet adapter for dual-homing, a couple of usb memory sticks.
                • High quality notepad, good pens, sticky notes, highlighters markers, whiteboard pens, presentation pointer.
                • Folders and a binder when needed. Books sometimes.
                • Earphones, earplugs, some medication like pain relievers.
                • When traveling I also put tickets, passport, money, keys etc in it. And water.

                  I use a leather satchel to/from work daily... when it's not mostly empty, I have my laptop in it, wallet, pen, papers, usb keys, maybe some loose change and letters.

                  I also have my backpack with me (when I go to the gym before work), shoes, clothing, wash & grooming supplies, water, ymca card, bluetooth earbuds.

                      This reminds me of one of my favorite scenes in "Austin Powers" ... that's not my bag, baby!

                                One of the best ways to identify a veteran fisherman vs an inexperienced one is by the size of his tackle box. Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think..

                                What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access?

                                  Probably different for desktop tech who needs tools, but if you don't handle that kind of stuff, really a laptop is all you need

                                      Often don't even need that. I bring one, typically, but not always.

                                        For me, I'm only ever onsight if I'm there for meetings. Don't need a laptop distracting me if I'm talking to customers.

                                          Can't argue the mouse. I. Can't stand touchpads either!

                                            That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
