I have almost the same monitor/KB/peripherals setup at my two major cities at home-office and business office. I carry a Lenovo Mii700 to cover all the other needs.

I also pack these items so that when they go in the scanner they are not one on top of another church for easy reading by the operator. I have been ask what they were .and the item was either rescanned by itself or swabbed.

Happy travels

I also carry a WD Passport, although it is in a pocket at the top of my back pack so easily retrievable and testable. Unfortunately a NUC is not without a monitor. Was hoping the NUC would be easier, but thinking it through, it looks like it should be, but....

Now gotta decide between that or two laptops...

Thanks.
