Many companies sell USB scanners. Some good brands of USB scanners include Dell, ULINE, Unitech, Motorola, and Honeywell. The prices can range from $45 to $3,000.
Depending on the brand and type of laptop and scanner, it varies in difficulty in explaining how you connect them together. On a standerdised laptop, there hopefully will be many USB ports for a scanner to go into. A scanner should have a port to go into a USB slot. Some scanners have bluetooth and you can connect the that way also.
