    As an IT guy for a 700+ person company, yes please continue this. It could really help our purchasing decisions (and yes, these scansnap scanners have worked fairly well in our experience even on terminal server environments)

    I have the ScanSnap S510M, have had it for years. I don't know how many books I've scanned, let alone documents, and these scanners just keep going and going. I remember I paid like $600 back in the day, and honestly it's one of the best things I've bought. So useful! It saves so much time, and it makes it super easy to put anything of importance on the computer. So I would recommend this product to anyone, not just business owners. I used mine to convert all my college textbooks to PDFs, so I could have them on my tablet and laptop and wouldn't have to have carry the book around. Not to mention they are all now available on the cloud so I can reference them anytime anywhere. One of many awesome things you can do with this scanner!

    I think it's great that you and your staff makes videos that aren't just focused on consumer grade stuff. I'm pretty sure a sizeable portion of your subscribers are businessmen anyway, so your experiences with business-grade tech could open the eyes of others.
    Despite it being a business product, I can see a lot of consumers buying it based on your review, because it has functionality that is hard to come by in other products. I say keep the reviews coming of the tech you and your staff uses on a day to day basis.

    As a business owner, these sorts of solutions are ALWAYS welcome! I owe you guys a great big thanks with that NAS video. I had been using the traditional backup methods with HHD + butt loads of caddies for over 10 years. I now use a Qnap along with Dropbox, you guys have saved me a ton of time and money! Big thanks!

    Please keep doing this stuff. While the vast majority won't be interested in it for ourselves, many of us are influencers at work, home and 'other' and letting you guys do the research so we can just say "this office chair" when appropriate is really handy, if only to give us a baseline for our own research!

    I braced myself for buyer's remorse after bringing home the IX500, but within a couple of hours I changed my mind and all of my expectations of what a business scanner should be. 10 stars out of 5. And Linus, keep the small business stuff coming! Here's one that you might find fun and a necessary evil for all small businesses that just can't use their cell phones for everything...OnSIP VOIP and eBay refurbished VOIP phones. I outfitted 8 offices for $15/phone and $50/month. Cheers!

  • @davidgraham9577
    @davidgraham9577 5 років тому

    I bought this scanner a couple of years ago. I have a small consulting business. The scanner is brilliant for my needs in cleaning up my office and converting the myriad paper documents, records, receipts, etc., into searchable files. So much better and faster than a flatbed scanner. Yes, much more expensive than flatbed scanner, but time saving alone justifies the purchase. And the software is good and easy to use as well.
    This video was good, concise and learnt a few additional things I could do but didn't know about. The video might seem like overselling, but the machine lives up to the hype for me.

    Hi LMG Team! :)
    I just wanted to comment here, I know this video is older at this point but the information has proven to be very valuable to me. I work for a customer who just purchased 3 of these scanners and your review has helped me very quickly come up to speed on the product.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)
    ..and yes I think you should keep giving us these videos on the office tools you guys use. You have a young business and I think your team has some awesome insight into many emerging ways to handle day-to-day operations. :)

      First, try to improve your English before making that comment. And 2nd you should know that "professional" is not just a green screen and talk like a robot. He's professional on his own way, doing what people call professional is not the only way to go. Just sayin'.

      ***** With all the respect, I know English is not the only language 'cause I'm from Argentina where Spanish is the main language. I said that because if he wanna get an answer he SHOULD speak English. And what he said is not an opinion, is a proposition. I'm not here to start a debate, but thanks for your opinion.

  • @lemonswade
    @lemonswade 10 років тому

    Even though I don't want/need a scanner there are a couple reasons why I like these kinds of videos.
    1) I like to see the new tech; both hardware and the software integration of all the different devices that it interacts with.
    2) It's kind of like a mini "behind the scenes" video, which i like. With 144k views of your studio tour, I think its safe to say I'm not the only one.
    One other thing. I've seen some people suggest that you get a proper office... I kind of like the setup you have. I use to think "tech videos being shot on a kitchen themed set, how charming". After watching the studio tour and seeing that its a real kitchen (and bathroom) the charm factor has gone through the roof!
    Whether you start a "Bathroom Benchmarks" series or move to a boring old office, I'll keep watching.

  • @briansturner
    @briansturner 5 років тому

    I know this video is old, but my wife brought one of these home from work, raving about it. So I thought to investigate what the "Big Deal" was for a scanner which I assumed was 30 - 50 Dollars. I see now that I missed a shift in the market back in 2013 and apparently scanners are now back in the 500 dollar range thanks to this product. And your review is great, as it catalogs this moment in time when humanity was tired of the cheap scanners, and willing to pay for one that worked. I don't think you even realized the significance of this.

    This thing is pricey, but I'm so glad I watched this and decided to buy one. I've been using a Samsung all-in-one with a flatbed scanner and document feeder for years, but this thing blows that out of the water. It was even fun to scan my 7 1/2 years of business receipts, and I never thought I'd say that. While it was definitely a bigger hit to the wallet than I would have liked, I wish I had purchased this sooner, and it is probably one of the best purchases I have ever made for my business.

  • @bryanttroupe7934

    I provide IT support for small businesses and have been recommending the Fujitsu scanners for years. Something the adds great value to the purchase is that it does include PDF creation software. Unfortunately it no includes Adobe Acrobat Standard ($299 value). They now come with Nuance PowerPDF.

  • @kazu934
    @kazu934 10 років тому

    Honestly I don't really come to this channel to look for things to buy, I come mostly to stay updated on technologies regardless of whether they are for businesses or for consumers. It's also nice to know what is generally good and what is bad even if I don't intend to own it. So I guess what I'm saying is that I don't mind business oriented products. One thing I would appreciate, though, is a regular (annual, most likely) video showcasing some of the best "linus approved" consumer products of the year. And I don't just mean products that you personally love but ones that you can wholeheartedly recommend. So, if someone is in the market for a monitor, they can look at your 2014 linus approved video and start their search there. The scope of products that you can endorse might be kind of small because you don't do a TON of reviews, but then maybe you could hold official polls on the forum and have popular products among the viewers be featured in that annual video? Just an idea, take it or leave it :)

    I work in enterprise document imaging, and it's always really neat to see imaging products in the wild :)

    I think that was great, the more variety the merrier. If it's all computer I'm all for it. And small business tech and advice is pretty cool and handy for many in this day and age.

    I like these videos because they are things you researched and bought for yourself/business.
