PC Magazine’s Top 10 Netbook Accessories list

Comments

So you just got yourself a new netbook and you’re thinking.. “this one system has everything I need.” You might be right… but there’s also a small chance that you might be wrong. Depending upon the netbook model you purchased you might soon realize that you need a better mouse.. or perhaps you need more storage than the paltry 4-8GBs of SSD space… or perhaps you need a better keyboard because typing an essay on an 85% keyboard is utterly horrific. Yes.. there are accessories you’ll probably end up needing. To help with this, PC Magazine has come up with their Top 10 Netbook Accessories list here on their website. The list is interesting enough .. and truth be told, I can only imagine getting maybe one or two of these items for my netbook..  Here’s the list for those of you not interested in clicking through (and some added colorful commentary by me):

  1. Logitech Alto (not a bad idea if you’re going to spend a lot of time typing)
  2. Microsoft Arc Mouse (again – not a bad idea AND it’s snazzy looking too)
  3. Western Digital My Passport Elite HD (If you’re working with only an SSD, then this might be handy)
  4. Samsung SE-S184M DVD Writer LightScribe (if you’re burning DVDs.. then is a netbook really for you to begin with?)
  5. Creative Inspire T10 2.0 speakers (dude.. you’re carrying a netbook for a reason.. it’s small, lightweight, and cheap.. so now you’re going to go ahead and get bulky external speakers???)
  6. Targus Laptop Chill Mat (You know.. the Atom processor isn’t that hot..)
  7. IOGEAR Bluetooth USB Adapter with EDR ( if you must have Bluetooth..)
  8. Belkin Swivel Hub (just how many USB devices are you carrying with you?)
  9. HP Officejet H470 Mobile Printer (can you bring along a coffee maker while you’re at it?)
  10. Belkin Laptop Hideaway (cute for the home)
