5 Stars Excellent Value
The mouse does everything its supposed to. I don’t mind the smaller size at all and I’m a big guy at 6′2″. Make sure you download the software for it since its the only way to get a good balance between mouse speed and touchpad speed - and you get the horizontal scrolling by tilting the wheel. The logitech download is a bit confusing though. Find the download for the cordless mouse. It should be about 50mb. The smaller file doesn’t do anything useful.

If all your usb ports are on the side of the laptop you might consider the model with the really small usb dongle since it is a bit annoying sticking out on the side. However, given the price difference I’m still pleased with the choice.

5 Stars Excellent mouse, great price.
I bought this mouse for my laptop and love it. It is a little bigger than the smallest laptop mice available, but it still fits into one of the internal pockets of my Dell laptop case. Although the base footprint is only about two inches wide by three and a half inches long, like most mice, this one has a lot of sculpted edges and protruding curves (if curves can protrude) so the extreme measurements are: one and a half inches at the highest point (basically the palm rest), two and three sixteenths inches at the widest point (across the top thru the center of the scroll wheel) and three and three quarters inches long. One feature I like is that the mouse turns on and off when you slide the mini USB plug in or out of the base holder respectively, thus extending battery life. You can also leave the USB plug detached and flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse with a fingertip. What I don’t particularly like is that the USB plug, when cradled in the bottom, adds to the overall height of the mouse and prevents it from sitting flat. Not a big issue for storing the mouse since you can flip the mouse switch to off and store the USB plug separately, like I do. Software downloads are online, but I didn’t even bother with it. I just used the Windows drivers. I have had no problems with the operation (plugged and played), works great and the price was decent.

5 Stars Excellent mouse!
Bought a few of these for some coworkers and relatives. They all love it. Excellent battery duration (like 4-6 months in full office use).

5 Stars Great product for a good price
I wasn’t really enjoying my new laptop until I received this little mouse. Now I’m thinking about getting rid of my desktop! I haven’t used it since this mouse arrived!

3 Stars I like this Mouse….but requires downloads for vista use
When I plugged the mouse in, Vista searched the internet for a driver but couldn’t find it. I went to logitech website and downloaded. The cute little mouse works fine now. I like that this mouse has an actual on-off switch that the user can manually turn it off. Sliding the USB connector will also turn of the mouse. (the Microsoft notebook mouse only turns off by snapping the USB connector in-I had to take the battery out when I took the mouse away from the PC by mistake).

Also logitech included the battery. (1 AA). Mouse has LED to indicate if the battery is low. Good packaging as well. Plastic is perforated so it’s not too hard to open the package.

The USB stick on this mouse is close to full size. Logitech also has mice with a tiny usb connector (easier to lose).

5 Stars does the job
This product has lots of space for everything a business person needs to take with them. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others.

2 Stars Doe not feel like a true laptop bag, most likely will scratch laptops with glossy finishes
I guess this bag is just not for me. This bag feels more like an executive brief case and not a true laptop bag. I guess my biggest complaint is NONE of the zippers open the bag up completely, making it difficult to remove the laptop and place larger accessories in other slots. (I knew that was the case with the laptop slot before ordering. I did not know it would cause this problem) If you have a nice laptop, like I do. I believe over time a laptop would end up scratched many times over due to the friction of pulling it over the zippers.

5 Stars Great bag and a great value!!!!
I love this bag…allows me to fit everything I would need for work including my laptop, files and lunch…higly recommend the bag looks like you paid alot more than you did.

5 Stars Excellent for the traveling office
I have just started to put this laptop case to use. I find that it has amble room for not only my 17 inch laptop but also much of the other essentials for today’s mobile office. It has a handy accessories to organize for the laptop as well as compartments for files, paper and digital media along with business card and pens & pencils holder. It’s the perfect size as a carry-on. It is an excellent choice.

5 Stars Great for the 18.4″ VAIO
I just received my TLE400. I was happy to discover that my 18.4 VAIO fit nicely inside. Great quality for the money, too.
