There is of course only one real issue with this case/desk and that is the price tag of just under $500! Source [Eee PC] a Laptop Accessories, laptop case, laptop desk, laptop stand

Here’s a DIY Plywood laptop case that might hide your laptop in a discreet way so burglars won’t even think there’s a laptop inside it. Of course, I’d probably stick with regular ol’ foam and textile laptop bag but if you have carpenter skills, I don’t see why not you can’t make one of these for your home or even for brief travels to the office. The laptop case is formed from two bend panels of plywood which slide along one another to encase the laptop computer.The case is lined with cork to provide additional heat resistance and protection. via make, DIY Page a burglars, carpenter, cork, heat resistance, Laptop Briefcase, laptop case, laptop computer, Laptop Design, Laptop DIY, plywood, textile, travels

G4 Slim Laptop Mouse – World’s Thinnest Mouse?

Laptop Pimp — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:59:31 +0000

Similiar to the MoGo laptop mouse we covered couple weeks back, this G4 Slim Laptop Mouse can also fit inside your PCMCIA PC Slot. MoGo laptop mouse still is the thinnest mouse in our opinion but this G4 Slim Mouse is not a bad choice for the money. The new 2P Slim USB Optical Mouse is a laptop mouse that transforms itself in order to be easily stored yet easily used when traveling and working with a laptop. This 5mm thin, fine-looking “piece of mouse”, fits inside the laptop memory card slot or a small pocket, and solves both the problem of always having dead batteries, and finding extra space for a bulky mouse in your laptop case. The 2P laptop mouse allows you to neatly retract and hide the USB cable, and saves you from finding a “wire monster” waiting inside your bag as you open it. The 65cm (25.5 inch) long USB mouse cable provides you with sufficient length for working comfortably, so you’re not restricted in your mousing movements. via cg, Product Page a couple weeks, dead batteries, Laptop Accessories, laptop case, Laptop Hardware, laptop memory, laptop mouse, laptop mouse, Laptop News, memory card slot, monster, mouse … Continue reading →
