Too bad the Dutch Lifehacking posting of March 15, 2014 didn’t link back to the original Funders and Founders Notes – How to Be Productive by Anna Vital.

I didn’t have time yet to get one, but the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 (thanks Olaf Monien for pointing me at this in the first place) is definitely on my list of devices to install soon as a successor to my Fujitsu ScanSnap S510.
The S510 has a few drawbacks:
I wanted a new scanner that gets rid of at least a few of these drawbacks.
The Fujitsu ScanSnap site already lists some compelling iX500 features (like 25 ppm, parallel OCR PDF, paper handling, ultrasonic multi-feed detection), but failed to indicate about some of the other drawbacks.
