Almost every time I'm working out of a coffee shop, and sometimes at the airport, someone spots the stand my laptop is sitting on and asks, "What is that? Where'd you get it?" It happens enough that I figured I'd just write down what I actually travel with, for conferences or any time I'm not working out of my home office.

My work travel gear list
Roost Laptop Stand. This is the one that starts the conversation. It folds down into something small enough to slide into a bag pocket, and it raises my laptop screen to a much more comfortable height, so I'm not hunched over it all day.
Apple Magic Trackpad (White). I used to use this at my desk too, but work gave me an MX Master 3, and I've since moved on to the MX Master 4. The Magic Trackpad is strictly a travel tool these days.
