A:Answer Yes, this unit is portable, I.e., it can be picked up and carried to another location for use (as long as there is an electrical outlet near).
No, it cannot scan slides (only photos and documents within certain sizes). I use Epson Perfection V500 and Kodak Slide N Scan for scanning slides. The latter is able to do larger batches faster while the former can do a few at a time but has some quality control options.
