The folks at Targus just brought their Netbook Accessories Kit to my attention last night. Somehow it escaped my attention for a few weeks since the kit was announced in mid-March. The $39.95 bundle includes three accessories geared specifically to netbook owners, but of course they’re suitable for big-boy notebooks too. Included in the accessory kit:
- Slipskin Peel 10.2-inch netbook case made of form-fitting neoprene
- Ultra Mini Portable Retractable USB mouse weighs a scant 1.5-ounces
- 4-port USB 2.0 hub
Each of these items are available separately at a cost of $19.99, $24.99 and $24.99 respectively, so the $39.99 bundle is a great budget-buster. It’s always nice to have a protective case for your netbook and a mouse helps when you’ve had enough of the smallish trackpad. Most netbooks have at least two, if not three, USB ports, so I find the hub of limited use. That’s just me, though; maybe you carry a few USB devices with you and your netbook.
