There’s a special bond between a Media Center owner and his remote. The power of having hours of programming at the fingertips is a heady thing indeed. Lenovo, those ThinkPad people, obviously understands that and has quietly released a Multimedia PC remote with a full QWERTY keyboard. The remote has a trackball in addition to the keyboard, and brings a USB dongle to the living room, too. The $60 MSRP can already be dropped to around $30 with a search online so if you are looking for that special remote, this might be the one for you.
