You’re probably saying “do we really need another mouse?”. These were my sentiments before I received the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 (it is a mouthful). The device does have a hook that makes it a reasonable investment.

The LapDawg Pug is a convertible laptop desk that has some features that are designed to make couch computing as comfortable as possible. There’s an integrated silent USB fan under the laptop holder, left and right mouse friendly surfaces and the most important feature of all – a cup holder! The Pug can also be [...]

The guys at Just Mobile have managed to design some rather awesome looking and interesting accessories recently. From multi-functional, gravity controlled pens to aluminum mouse pads and from iPhone stands, to full size MacBook holders, their designs are striking, intriguing and classy. My appreciation for their design technique and craftsmanship was made even stronger when GearZap kindly sent the Aluminum Cooling Bar to [...]

With everything that is out there on the market for laptop protection, you almost can’t beat SLAPPA laptop sleeves. I’m a serious laptop bag/laptop sleeve person. It’s not that I can’t get enough protection for my devices, I just dig sleeves and bags. The protection from scratches, bumps, chips, dirt and spilled things doesn’t hurt [...]

The Averatec N1200 is the latest and (touted as) thinnest netbook out there. It’s thin but it’s not the lightest. At 2.2lbs, it matches the weight of Acer’s Aspire netbook. But it is thin. I measures at less than 1 inch thick and you can get up to six hours of battery life using the [...]

Where Julie protects (covers up) the dings and scratches she puts in/on her MacBook Pro with stickers, I prefer to protect my laptop with something more substantial. Most recently I have been using the Vaja i-volution Leather Suit I reviewed late last summer to protect my Unibody MacBook. But while the Leather Suit is very [...]

I like this laptop stand / cooler from Targus mainly for its simple yet funky design. The CoolWave is designed as its name suggests, it has a wave-like shape that allows hot air from the laptop’s base to quickly dissipate. It has non-skid feet and slots for routing cables. The sub $15 price tag is [...]

My guess is that a lot of folks do not actually use the useless touchpads on their laptops (even when traveling or when working in front of the TV) and instead rely on an external mouse, which necessitates either a larger desk (e.g. see the Levenger Lap Desk) or a non-existent slide-out mouse pad. And [...]

There are all types of laptop coolers on the market these days. There are coolers with fans that require an AC adapter, have fans powered by a USB port, have standoffs to keep the bottom of the laptop from touching any surface, others work on your desktop and still others that work on your lap. [...]

Like a lot of us, I travel for work fairly often, lugging my rotator-cuff rending Lenovo T60p (with extended life battery) and its builders-grade power brick through airports and hotels. Because of this, I am rather fanatical about accessories that can help me save time, weight and space, both on my daily grind commute and [...]

I’ve been using the HP Pavilion dv2 laptop off and on for about a month now. As it tends to go with most gadgets that pass through my hands, there are things that I really like about this device and then there are some things that cause me disappointment.

Using your laptop outdoors on a sunny day can be difficult because the sunlight can cause the laptop’s display to look dark or washed out. Putting on your normal sunglasses usually makes matters worse. Glarewear sunglasses are sporty looking glasses that have special polarized lenses that allow you to see the display even on a [...]

Like a lot of people, if I have room for it while working on my laptop, I’d rather use a mouse than the trackpad. Most mobile mice seem to be created approximately equal, but recently Microsoft introduced something new to the field with their BlueTrack technology which claims to work more smoothly on more surfaces [...]

I’m a few days into my Mac vacation and so far I’ve only broke the rules once… I used my Mac / Photoshop to work up the images in this article. Gimp is nice, but I’ve been unable to figure out how to save jpgs at lower resolutions while having them still look crisp. Other [...]

Ok friends, it’s honesty time. I have a secret to let you all in on and it’s a kinda big and I’m more than a little ashamed to admit it. But I feel safe with you guys, so here goes… I’ve been pretty much all Mac all the time since July, 2005. I made the [...]

Sleek. That is the word that seems to describe the Tekkeon MP3700 “myPower ALL Plus with Auto Detect” portable power unit the best. Boasting a smooth, nicely curved, shiny form with a simple button and LEDs on the top, this is one sharp-looking peripheral. Just looking at it, I knew this was going to be [...]

With all the netbooks on the market in the last year or so, it almost makes a person wonder if the days of full-sized notebooks are numbered. Considering the economy the way it is, people are looking for a bargain and these little netbooks sure can provide one. I have been using an MSI Wind [...]
