The carry-on tech kit, packed in five minutes

What is allowed in the cabin, what charges what, and one pouch to hold it all.

Start with how you use it

Write down where and when you will use it most: the commute, the desk, the gym. The right choice follows from that, not from the longest spec sheet.

The numbers that matter

  • Battery life at a realistic volume, not the best case.
  • Weight, if you carry it all day.
  • How it charges, and whether your cables already fit.
