Micorsoft Arc mouse is a must have

A few months ago I decided to walk away from my PC computers and jump into the world of Apple. I have to say I have been very satisfied, but the one thing that always bothered me was the mighty mouse that came with my Apple MacBook, but that is no longer the case now that I have picked up a wireless Microsoft Arc mouse.

The mighty mouse that came with my Apple laptop always seem to lock up, and took a lot of cleaning to get the tack ball working. I wanted to replace it with the new generation wireless Apple mouse, but was never able to get to my local Apple store in time to pick one up before they sold out.

So a friend suggested I run over to Best Buy and pick up a wireless Micorsoft Arc mouse, and I have to say it is just an amazing mouse.

Apple users in particular should look at this mouse. It has typical left and right main buttons, plus a button on the left side, and a button under the roller. Clicking the roller brings up your dashboard, which will definitely have you using your dashboard more than ever. The extra buttons can be configured to do all sorts of things, and really opens up a lot of options.

I have never been too happy with wireless mouse devices in the past, but I have to say, this one is absolutely perfect, and you will be more than happy with the upgrade.

First week as an Apple user

So after a long time resisting, I finally made the jump last week and purchased an Apple laptop. I got the macbook pro, and I have to say that I am completely in love with this Apple computer.

I was a little hesitant on joining the “mac nation” but all my fears turned out to be nothing, and making the transition from PC to Apple has been much smoother than I would have expected.

For me, the learning that was most crucial was learning how to control the computer with hand commands. Using a mouse with only one button was going to be something to overcome, but with a couple little tricks, you will be over that and ready to see just what these popular Apple computers are all about.

After 1 week, I can honestly say that this is my favorite computer I have ever owned. Now I understand why so many Apple users are so die hard about these machines. Everything seems a lot simpler, and more straight forward than on a PC computer.

Still a lot to learn about making the apple switch, but for now things could not be going any better.

Have any tips or tricks you want to share about navigating around on an Apple macbook?Feel free to share!

Hewlett-Packard 2133 Mini-Note PC

Hewlett-Packard announced the release of its smallest ever laptop computer, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC.

This is the first time that the company has tried to make a move into the low priced market of ultra small computer laptops. If you are interested in this new ultra small laptop, you can expect to pay anywhere between $500 and $900, depending on your configuration.

The laptop has an 8.9″ screen, and weighs in at slightly higher than 2.5 pounds. According to the company website, it is geared towards the educational market. One of the biggest concerns consumers have with mini notebook computers is the keyboard size. This computer has an almost full size keyboard, at 92% the size of a typical keyboard layout.

Here are a few of the features:

• Anodized aluminum shell that is sleek, sturdy, and lightweight;
• An 8.9-inch diagonal WXGA display with a resolution of 1,280 pixels by 768 pixels
• Two battery options: Either the three-cell for lightest-weight configurations, or the choice of the six-cell for longer battery life;
• Wireless technologies. These include integrated Wi-Fi Certified WLAN and optional Bluetooth™

The computers move away from using an Intel chip, and instead have a C7-M microprocessor from Taiwan’s Via Technologies.
