    Which notebook?? If the G1/G2, it's a Targus ASUS notebook backpack(custom made I assume) and a Logitech mx700 mouse.

    I love the mouse, nothing too fancy but feels great. it has sensativity buttons built in, side clicks that default as back, and forward for browsing and a vista alt-tab button.

    The mouse runs smoothly and feels great.

    The backpack is great in every way, except it looks to flashy. It fits everything, even accessories fine. Just the design makes it a bit flashy looking which i dislike. It also has pretty good support.

    Yeah, the mouse for the F series is just a plain optical mouse, but I guess it'll do fine if you're not too demanding. :)

    The carrying case didn't have much room for papers/books for the F that I bought here in the Netherlands. Pretty much the notebook, adapter, mouse, and a few A4 sheets. You might need more than that (and probably will be a different bag for the US, but I presume it's designed along the same lines). Also a non-ASUS-labeled bag could be a good idea because it won't signal "hey I have a notebook with me".

    yeah, im not too worried about the mouse, as long as it doesnt have a cord :) and thats a good idea not to have ASUS on the bag.

    Well, basically they take Logitech mice and paint ASUS on them. :)
    Or probably Logitech do that themselves.

    It's an ASUS-branded Logitech mouse, just like most carrying bags are ASUS-branded Targus bags.
