OK, so you’re going to need some seriously baggy tracky bottoms to fit the Canon P150 in, but this portable image flasher does a whole lot of office work for you wherever you are, while rocking the piano black look of your average flatscreen TV. We’ve just gone hands-on, so read on for the piccies!
While there have been portable scanners floating around for a while now, none have managed to look as good or do the same as the Canon P150. At just 11×3.7×1.6 inches, it’s shockingly small for something that folds out and lets you feed in up to 20 pages at the same time, which it then rifles through at up to 30 images per minute.
Those dinky proportions would be useless if you couldn’t connect the Canon P150 away from the mains, so luckily it plugs into your laptop via USB instead (if you use two USB ports, it’ll scan quicker). It’s a well executed gizmo, which has the PC software embedded, so it simply appears as a drive on your computer, with no need for mucking around installing drivers – there’s also business card scanning kit inside so it’ll shove all those contact deets on to Outlook for you automatically.
Really though, it’s the size of the Canon P150 that we’re all about. If you can’t have a paperless office, this is the next best thing, as at least you can convert all those pesky pages and be done with them, then fold the whole affair away once you’re done. It’s shipping from Monday, but get a close look at the Canon P150 right here, right now in our gallery. Is this the first lustworthy scanner?
