Countdown to Comic-Con 2024: Comic-Con Kit: What’s in My Bag
As an analyst, I’m always exploring the future of work. Yes, even at San Diego Comic-Con. So, I can’t just bring my Starfleet uniform or my S.H.I.E.L.D. garb; I also need to put to work and document what I’m learning from various tech products, some of which I’m still evaluating.
Note: This blog may be updated several times between July 23 and July 24, 2024.

Commentary and Links
My iPad Pro’s USB-C port recently stopped working. It now charges via a magic keyboard. It’s too heavy to lug around Comic-Con with a keyboard. I bought a gen 5 iPad Air as my hero device on the floor and in sessions.

PenTips Screen Protector and Apple Pencil Tips

The next generation of PenTips Pen Matte screen protectors have arrived, and I will be using one to protect my iPad Air display and make it more pleasant to take notes during panels. And perhaps I’ll take a few moments between panels to sketch.
Now that PenTips took our advice, all of the tips now come in labeled boxes. Color-enhanced tips include a sticker to differentiate them from their less colorful cousins.
Lenovo X1 Nano Gen 3
The lightweight travel companion that packs an i7 ready to deliver on the road.
Monoprice 12-1 USB-C Hub
Never know what you need to connect to. I don’t mind the dongle when the computer is so light. Works with the Lenovo X1 Nano and the iPad Air.
Targus CitySmart EVA Pro Backpack
A backpack that’s ready to travel. Includes a luggage strap and checkpoint-friendly storage for laptops. The front pockets protect contents, but the front flaps are thin enough to support pins. Perfect as a Con travel companion.
