    A Lenovo customer associate recently gave me $80 worth of credit to use on Accessories. She told me to choose whatever I'd like (it can be more than one item) as long as it totals to under $80. I'm sort of confused on what to get with it.

    Lenovo's accessory store seems to be a ton of over-priced junk. I already bought an awesome messenger from Brenthaven, so I don't need a bag.
    What would you guys get if you had $80 worth of credit on accessories?

    Can you buy a second PSU with it?

    I like to have 2 PSUs so I carry a PSU in my bag and then leave one plugged in at home.

    Do you mean batteries? Or chargers? I'm getting a ThinkPad Yoga, and the battery for that is removable but it's in the actual unit itself.

    Hmm, I've never used a Bluetooth mouse before. Can anyone vouch for it? Is it good?


    Oh, and one of the things I have been looking for is an easel/stand for my ThinkPad Yoga, for when I'm drawing on my desk. I'm not sure if the 12.5" display is safe on this thing, but it looks decent:

    PSU is short for "power supply unit", or a charger. I'm used to discussing desktop gaming PCs where we don't have chargers, just PSUs.

    I second the extra AC adapter, it'll be handy to have around in case one breaks, you have a ready spare.

    NBR did a review on it:

    ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse Review

    Seems pretty solid.
