Rating: N/A

Liked: Portable; easy to operate; scans documents, photos, articles, brochures and business cards; can scan up to legal size documents; creates PDF documents without pricey additional software; powers from laptop's USB port

Disliked: N/A

In Short: The scanner is very small, almost ridiculously easy to operate, and it gives a wide variety of choices for generated output files. The scans produced are very good, and I can't think of a better travel companion for anyone that needs the ability to generate scans in some of the oddest places.
