OK fair enough

I guess what I'm wanting is a Nano receiver based
keyboard ANND mouse combo! A small, compact wireless
keyboard and mouse that would turn my laptop into a
quasi "desktop"..... and use that small nano receiver

Unfortunately this laptop is my only computer ... at
the moment

What the world needs is a wireless keyboard with a built-in
trackball in place of the number pad.

agree!


I don't know why they aren't more common!

The Logitech Dinovo Edge has a pad built in but is
pricey. Plus its rechargeable which in my opinion is a
bad thing

And... the trackball is in the middle, below the spac bar instead of where
the number pad would be. I've sometimes fantacized about sawing off the
number pad from the rest of the keyboard.... But, of course, I would then
find a need for the number pad. :-)

Agree

I just did some research and see where Apple makes a
very nice looking Bluetooth keyboard that is small,
compact

see link

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823101005

I think maybe that unit above paired with this Logitech
V470 BT mouse might be a good combo even for a PC user

see link

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826104084

No I would need some cheap but decent laptop speakers.
Maybe these?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836121134

And maybe this notebook stand?

I've seen the blue Logitech BT mouse at Fry's. It's really pretty,
but it doesn't have as many functions as the Dell BT Travel Mouse.

$60 for a stand? I think you really need a desktop with a thin screen
monitor. :-)

I love the Apple wireless keyboard. For me I don't have much desk
space because I use two computers from the same desk. Because the
Apple wireless keyboard uses such little desk space I have room for my
full-size Window keyboard and mouse too.

It depends on how important music from your PC is to you -- for me
it's important. I wouldn't get anything less than Harmon Kardon
Soundstick II's.

It looks like a good buy because it's also a hub. There were some
comments that some things couldn't be powered properly through the hub
-- I know I have experienced that with USB TV Tuner / PVRs. There are
a few notebook stands (without hubs) that I like a lot. I am more
inclined to get a good, simple stand without a hub, and if I need a
hub to get a good one separately.

- Mstand Laptop Stand By Rain Design

- Griffin 1093-CURV2 elevator/Computer Laptop Stand

Both can be found by Amazon searches -- lots of user reviews.
