    I have ordered a Dell Inspiron 1705. To get the most for my money, I decided to save buying accessories and not get them from Dell. I need a mouse and a bag of some sort. What sort of mouse should I get, and what kind of bag is best? I am a teacher and will be using the laptop in my elementary school classroom for grades, PowerPoint presentations, things like that. I'd really appreciate the help.
    I think I prefer a shoulder-type bag, but I'm not set on that.

    Thanks so much.

    You can just run down to your local WalMart or someplace like that and pick up a cheap mouse and bag. Logitech makes the best quality mice, but just get what feels good. Same thing with a bag; get what feels comfortable to you.

    I like the Kensington bags myself; I have the Contour 15". Good build quality, lots of space and comfortable (when carrying on the shoulder). As for mice, you have to decide if you want wired or wireless. Go to a shop where they have a bunch on display and see which one is best for your hands. Microsoft or Logitech are both good choices.
