All laptops are good, but not substitute for a mouse to a touchpad. How much I tried, but still could not get used to it. Of course, there are smaller versions of normal mice, but none of them can be compared with MA-BTCARD.
New MA-BTCARD mouse while folded fits into a standard TypeII PC card slot. There, it can travel without taking up space (and gaining power on the way), and if necessary, you can simply drag it, expand and start working.
The mouse does not require wires, as it works on the Bluetooth connection. Incidentally, this also means that it can work as a Bluetooth pendant. The time of continuous operation from a single charge is 5 hours. Not so much, but on the other side and a laptop itself will unlikely work continuously for such a long time. The mouse is adapted to work with Windows XP and Vista operating systems, that is why there is no guarantee of proper operation with other operating systems.
You can buy this gadget here for $ 107
