Are portable single-sheet scanners worth it versus a desktop model?
Reviewer consensus
Portable scanners such as the Brother DS-640 and Epson ES-50 are USB-powered, pocket-bag sized, and cost far less, which is why they have accumulated thousands of verified-purchase reviews. The trade-off buyers note is throughput: they feed one page at a time, so they're ideal for travel and occasional use but slow for large batches compared with a 100-page ADF desktop unit.
