Reddit reviews Tabletote Black Portable Compact Lightweight Adjustable Height Laptop Notebook Computer Stand Table

Off the top of my head, besides the laptop, I got:

Basic Electrical hand tools such as wire strippers and snips

Fluke 787 process meter

Fluke clamp on mA meter

Terminal Block Screwdriver by Klein

RS-485 to USB interface

RJ45s and crimper

Dewalt DCF680 Gyroscrew driver, do not get the "newer" 682, they removed the adjustable torque clutch

I am looking into a portable stand up type desk for my laptop so I don't have to use the closest transformer or balance it on a large pipe. Anyone have experience with these (Table Tote)?

i'm pretty sure there's only one and this is the one that most people are buying. however, if you need your soda right next to you as you speak, you can opt for this version with a bottle holder

It is called a Table Tote and it costs somewhere around $20 to $30 on Amazon.

I have one of these:

I don't entirely love it, but it's better than nothing. It's a little flimsy, but it's pretty lightweight, and just a little bigger than a laptop. I'll throw it in my checked bag when I'm flying to a job, but it's small enough to put in my backpack with my laptop once I'm there.

VFL, Optical Power Meter, SC/LC/MTP fiber cleaners, Cletop fiber cleaner, LC & SC loopbacks, attenuators.

Airconsole, USB-DB9 adapter, TL-WR702N travel router/ap.

Foam earplugs, noise cancelling earbuds, gardening foam kneepad.

Walkstool portable stool, tabletote portable table, C14 to NEMA 5-15 adapter. These are great when I am in colos where I have just 1 or 2 cabinets and a PDU for power.

I've been focusing on DWDM the past couple years, so my list is skewed in that direction.

Laptop Stand
I personally go paperless in PF debate, except for my flows. So having a stand to get my laptop off the desk and closer to eye-level is good. (The legs detract from the height in the picture.) Also this is widely used in my circuit by all laptop debaters and it is super reliable.

Extension cords for laptop chargers are also handy if you have a laptop with a low battery life. A lot of PC users end up using extension cords to charge their laptops in round.

Wireless Mouse
This is extremly useful when cutting cards on the go, in round throwing evidence into a speech, or even sorting through your articles in the Extemp prep room. So nice to have a cheap wireless mouse you don't have to worry about. I just use a Razer Naga for all the macros but I would reccomend the mouse I linked.

I just use my phone as a timer. I would really appreciate if someone linked a good timer that is more professional than my phone!

Also a good backpack that can hold tons of flow paper, a laptop, chargers, laptop stand, etc. without killing your back is important.

I've been a big fan of the table tote; turn any desk into a standing desk:

This is the best timer imo bc its really easy to use - https://www.amazon.com/CDN-TM30-2-Alarm-Timer-Alarm-Vibrates/dp/B004S0SO9M/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1467555687&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=Component+Design+Northwest+model+tm30

This is the table tote that i use, its pretty easy to setup and its lightweight - https://www.amazon.com/Tabletote-Portable-Lightweight-Adjustable-Notebook/dp/B0001EMA80/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467555701&sr=8-2&keywords=table+tote

I am sure that it is the most popular laptop stand for debate.
