    Hey all I was looking into the wireless mouse/keyboard and it looks like the Logitech® diNovo™ Media Desktop (Link at bottom) would be great! I am getting a desktop replacement notebook for school. So it will basically stay on my desk. The mediapad looks great, but I’m not sure if I will use the keyboard. I know if I get the keyboard ill use it. What are your opinions about this set up? I want to get the wireless hub that comes with the mouse since I have a lot of other bluetooth enabled gadgets. Thanks! [ :D]

    well, i saw it in compusa or best buy or somewhere i can't remember, it's nice, but there's no way i would spend that much on a kb+mouse... i can't see myself spending more than 50 bux for a kb/mouse combo, but that's just me

    I actually prefer the Microsoft solution for notebooks. The Logitech comes with a hige base, extra wires and is generally much more messy. Sure the mouse is rechargable, but I've had this MSFT unit for a long time and haven't had to replace the batts yet.

    Main reason I was looking into this keyboard or maybe just the mouse is the fact that I want the bluetooth hub. Would there be something that would be better for me?

    If you want Bluetooth, I stand by my MSFT recommendation, but the Logi is not bad by any stretch.
