    The computer already has Bluetooth support. Is there a mouse one could buy that one doesn't need a dongle for? I have few USB ports on my computer...

    Any Bluetooth mouse will work. No dongle needed since you already have a built-in BT controller. Problem is that there aren't as many BT mice available as there are RF wireless mice, so your choices will be limited. Logitech is always a brand you can trust:

    Yeah, but bluetooth mouse can be a bit glitchy as wifi has an tenancy to interferer with it, use 5ghz wifi instead of 2.4ghz on your notebook can help if you have it.
