For scanning I went with a simple flat bed scanner, thin, but full size flat bed. It stores like a book and it is not hooked up to the computer unless it is needed, how often do you really scan anything anyway ? On a boat, not very often.
Edit - one unusual thing about the scanner is that it works off of LED's and only has a USB cable, powered completely by the USB port. I found that surprising. It seems to scan okay.
