Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

I have used most of the Logitech wireless mice, for my desktops and notebooks. I recently upgraded my desktop to a nice system suitable for gaming, and had been using a Logitech MX Performance mouse, from a few years ago. The new model MX is $100, I use this model (M705) with my notebook - I compared the feel and performance of the two mice, and decided that the new mouse for my system would be the M705. I can't see or feel a difference in the performance. Great mouse, I can easily recommend it. .

It's what you need to quickly charge up your Kindle. Small and unobtrusive, I keep it plugged into the surge protector for my notebook - Whenever my Kindle needs a charge, I just plug it in for a while, and my Kindle is ready for another week or two of reading. Charges MUCH faster than hooking it up to a notebook or desktop computer.

Aside from being about the only eink readers still available, the Amazon Kindle series of readers offer bang for the buck, and features that you don't know you need. The Paperwhite reader is great in sunlight, in a lit room, or even in a darkened room. The available Kindle books offer a tremendous variety of genres and titles for a low cost. And with shareware converters like calibre, classics available through public domain are all there to be read. If you love books, then this is for you.

I was in the market for a new notebook/tablet, and was waiting to see what the Surface 4 Pro was going to offer, but I started seeing reviews of the Yoga 900 around the net. I read, and read and was getting very interested - and then Best Buy had (very few) in stock. I knew I was covered if I saw problems with the unit, within the Best Buy return timeframe, so I drove over a town or two to get one. I've had it now a little over a month, and I am very happy. The new Skylake i7, the 512GB SSD and the 16GB RAM make for a smooth and trouble free computing session. Touchpad and screen respond with no problems. Heck, the ONLY gripe I have is the darn SD card slot - It doesn't allow the card to lie flush to the side (so I bought a small factor 128GB USB drive, and it isn't too obtrusive). Everyone at work has been jealous of me since I have started using it - Flip it to Tablet Mode, and they are astonished! Best choice is a 2-in-1 you can make.

Will the Logitech Marathon M705 wireless laser mouse work with bluetooth wireless keyboard

It has it's own RF USB receiver (must be plugged into the computer), so it uses RF, not Bluetooth. It will work alongside the Bluetooth keyboard, but not using the Bluetooth signal.

80MK008PUS vs 80MK002JUS

I see both with identical specs on the website, the first one is the champagne gold the second is the silver one...so is the difference between the two only the color for the 100$ or is there anything else?

I need LARGE print to be able to read. How big can the print be?

Quite larger than the (normal) text shown on the page here - I have IE set at 100% zoom, and the font can be adjusted to at least 3x the size of the comments in the Review/Q&A sections. If you look at the top of the page at the title "Amazon - Kindle Paperwhite - Black", that font at 100% is about the second to largest font for the Kindle.

Weird noise?

Just got this laptop and it's making a weird noise. It's not loud at all. My laptop is working fine but that noise doesn't seem like it should be there on a brand new laptop. I am not sure if it's the hard drive or the fan. Is this normal?
Can't be the HDD - It's Solid State. I have heard a hiss of the fan when I get the beast warm, but it's still very quiet. Call support if it's worrying you. Best to know than to wait too long.

Does this laptop have bluetooth?

According to the specifications this laptop does not have Bluetooth I find that hard to believe can someone confirm this? Also if it does have Bluetooth what version is it?

Thanks
Just checked - In Device Manager it shows Intel Wireless Bluetooth - On the Lenovo site it shows Bluetooth® 4.0.

Bluetooth not enabled?

BestBuy stated BT is not available under Specifications? That's can not be true since Lenovo web site clearly stated version. 4 on.

How is the WIFI connectivity on this laptop?

I need a computer that has good wifi connectivity that will not drop out every few minutes.
It's WiFi 2 x 2 802.11 a/c - I have it on an Asus RT-AC68U - I can take it anywhere in the house, in the yard, or even over at the neighbor's with barely a loss of 1 bar.

Can I use a stylus and how well will it work?

I just grabbed a stylus I use for my Android Tablet - Universal Capacitive Stylus Pen. It tracks and reacts well to the stylus. It is not set to register different pressures - That's the Yoga Pro 40 coming 1Qtr 2016.
