A Trio of Tech Items Ideal for a New Business

Shopping for a new business is a lot like shopping for a new baby. You probably feel a bit overwhelmed by the massive selection of products, and while you know you need certain items,  you also realize that there are plenty of things you can leave on the shelves. While some devices and tools can help a budding business to blossom, others are probably not necessary. With that in mind, check out the following three tech items that are definitely useful for a new company:

Durable Computer Keyboards

Depending on what type of new business you are launching, a durable and washable — yes, there really is such a thing — computer keyboard will be a must. This is especially true if you company involves a certain amount of messiness, like flour and sugar in a bakery, wood dust in a carpentry shop or paint in an art studio. The Logitech Washable Keyboard K310 is built to be durable, comfortable to use for every day typing and is hand-washable. You can also use the 12 shortcut “hot keys” to instantly access your emails or launch a site with one quick touch of a frosting-covered finger. When it gets dirty, you can submerge it in up to 11 inches of soapy water.

Mobile Devices with Amazing Platforms

To help ensure that you and your team can work on the go — which is a definite plus when meeting clients at remote locations — you should definitely invest in mobile devices. In addition to allowing everyone to work on projects, the mobile device’s camera can allow you to take amazing photos of your work that you can share on social media, as well as keep in touch with the rest of your employees. In order to be sure your company’s mobile devices have the inner “guts” to keep up with your growing business, make sure they have mobile processors that can handle the workload. Some of the best mobile processors come from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series; in addition to being incredibly fast and energy efficient, Snapdragon mobile processors feature a 14-bit Qualcomm Spectra ISP Image Signal Processor (ISP) that can support capturing up to 28 megapixels with zero lag time. The mobile processor also includes the Qualcomm Haven security suite, which uses hardware-based tech to detect malware and keep those mobile devices humming along and helping your team to work.

A Fast Printer with Features You Will Actually Use

You may be bound and determined to be as paperless as possible in your new business, but there will still be invoices to print out, brochures to create that advertise your services, and memos and reports to distribute to team members and clients. In order to accomplish your work-related printing as efficiently as possible, look for a printer that can be networked — which means everyone in the office can use it from their computers — and will not gobble up expensive ink in the process. There are many great options when looking for a reliable printer for businesses. For example, the Ricoh SP-213-w is budget-friendly and can print 22 pages a minute. The laser printer has a small footprint and offers a print and scan mobile app and a two-year warranty. Another option to consider is the Samsung Xpress M2835DW, which has the ability to crank out 28 pages a minute, is $80 and can handle either wired or Wi-Fi connections.

By following these tips, hopefully you can focus on what is important — getting that new business up and running and growing for years to come. These useful tech items will also help you to do just that.
