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

It turned out that Rubik’s cube, despite its popularity still occupies the minds of some designers. We already wrote about the clock in the shape of this puzzle, but now it is time to tell about subwoofer MicroSub 2010 BT from the company Elac.
This “cube” can not twist in the hands because it weighs 4.7 kg, but it can be connected to sources of sound not only with the help of wires, but also through Bluetooth wireless technology, so you can feel the power of this bass from the music stored in memory of the mobile phone or other Bluetooth-devices.
MicroSub 2010 BT is available in two colors – black and white and colored cubes. Its price is not reported.
