Targus Netbook Kit Solves Many Netbook Problems
Lots of things piss me off about netbooks. Things like the cramped trackpad, the lack of USB ports and the occasionally shoddy cases, to name a few. Targus has come up with a netbook accessory kit which tries to fix all these shortcomings.
The kit, which includes a netbook carry case capable of holding a 10.2-inch computer, a USB mouse and a four-port USB hub, will be available through JB Hifi stores for just $55 from today. While it does nothing to solve my other problem with netbooks – their purposefully underwhelming processor – it’s a pretty solid option to make up for many netbooks’ shortcomings.

awesome price…
Slight grammatical error here: “they’re purposefully underwhelming processor”.
I bought a small netbook toolkit (a Road Warrior kit!) about 8 months ago from Zazz, which has a mouse, hub, 5-in-1 USB connector (mini-USB, type A, type B, etc), numpad and extendable ethernet cable for significantly cheaper than the Targus one. Mind, the build quality is noticeably shonky, I had to solder the wires on the mouse just to make it useable, but this just seems like a shameless way to rip people off.
Another problem with netbooks is that they run to hot. We just designed a new product called the Netbook Riser to raise the Netbook to increase ventilation and to improve the viewing angle.
