Glory be, ladies and gentlemen. We can all breathe a sigh of relief now, knowing that all netbook purchases from this day forward can be adorned with the handsome and useful “Netbook Accessory Kit” from Targus.
The company went to painstaking lengths “asking hundreds of netbook users what they needed most with their new netbooks,” according to a recent press release.
Judging by the contents of the kit, those users said something along the lines of “a tiny mouse, a squishy-zippy cover thing, and one of those things where when you plug it into the hole it makes more of the holes for plugging in other stuff.”
And lo, the Netbook Accessory Kit was born. It features the Targus 10.2-inch Slipskin Peel Netbook Case (normally $20), the Targus Ultra Mini Retractable Optical Mouse (normally $25), and the Targus Ultra Mini-USB 2.0 4-Port Hub (normally $25).
It’s not actually for sale on Targus’ site yet but when it goes live, it’ll cost $39.99.
Ohhhh, those tiny mouses just SUCK. I was fooled into buying a “laptop mouse” when I was issued my first laptop. Complete waste. Maybe if I was 4′2″ tall or an 8 year old child it might fit my hand…
LAME! My Asus Eeepc has plenty of USB ports and why would I bother with a USB mouse when I can get a wireless one?
Oh ya, and my Eeepc came with a stupid squishy-zippy cover thing that I never use.
I would much rather have the Kensington Netbook Essentials kit. I would rather have the security lock then the USB hub. Plus Kensington makes far better quality products.
lol. looks like i’d have to get this. the HP Mini 1000 has seriously nothing coming with the netbook. maybe i should have really got a asus instead. (damn but i have discount with HP stuffs)
