I really like the remotes on laptops, but there aren't many that includes them, but LG offers them on most of theirs, I know HP has them too.

So I was wondering, would it be possible to buy a remote for it? I've seen Logitech wireless mouses that double as a media player, does it work well?

I don't really want to spend much, I've already splurged on Logitech speakers, a Crumpler bag, High End Sony earphones, and a sleeve

I'm using it for Power Point presentations, and other similiar activities, a remote control to watch from afar, or using a projector/dvi/s-video/TV, etc too.

Thanks

as for the remote...they are only usefull when your comp is your media center....LG Doesn't offers the remote in most of their laptop only in the LW70 (selected models).....have you though of the ATI Remote wonder 2????
it's a bit big but it does the job...the first version can be found on ebay for less than 20$....I bought mine 2 yrs ago for 11.50$ (shipping included)
