Because you never know when you might need to use it away from the bench. Or floating. Or you may need to minmise noise.
 It's a lot more usefulness for a small additional cost, pretty much a no-brainer.
nctnico:
With the battery you don't have to plug it in before using (unless the battery is empty). Let's not forget the lazyness/ease of use factor.

I read that the tBook mini have all the probes connected at the top while the tBook have all the probes connected on the side. I don't know the length of the probes. If they are long, I let them fall from the top to the desk (on the back side of the scope first) and then move the probes to the front. If not, they fall from the top to the desk (on the front side of the scope). In that case, do the cables touch the screen and cause unexpected touching? Do they interference with the readings?

I was afraid of that too but due to it's compact size you can have the TO1000 close to the circuit under test so the probe cables can be guided down at the back of the TO1000 without the probe cables getting too short.
fishandchips:
Thanks. Since I need a large desk space, I made a two-level shelf out of IKEA's parts and put it on top of a desk. I plan to put the scope on the lower deck of the shelf. So, I am concerned if the cables are long enough to guide down at the back of the scope. What do you think? Could you please let us know the length of the cable with the probe not taken into account?

I am in Canada right now. Is it better to buy the scope through Amazon (product to be shipped from the manufacturer's branch in Hong Kong) or directly from the Chinese manufacturer? What are the pros and cons?
