While phones can certainly allow us to be productive on the go when needed, it's not always as glamorous as it sounds.
This is especially useful in situations where you may not have administrative rights to install software, on public computers at a library, university, or at work. Portable apps don't modify the Windows registry or leave behind configuration files on the host computer.

Portable apps usually offer the same functionality and advantages as the regular versions of your favorite software, but without any installers involved.
