Lifestyle comes down to your choice of a mouse

WELL IT'S CERTAINLY come to something when you need a notebook mouse and a desktop set to have a truly digital lifestyle, hasn't it?

Some people are so conscious of their digital lifestyle that they even paste an Apple logo on their Dell machine so they can look cool, believe it or not.

Kensington today tells the world+dog that it has created the Ci Lifestyle Collection - it thinks it's the "first line of computer acccessories designed to fit consumers' lifestyles".

Style, it claims, is becoming "increasingly important to consumers" and 26 per cent of some people it surveyed said they bought computer stuff for "lifestyle fit" while only 22 per cent bought on price.

Pictured here is a non-Kensington Intel style mouse complete with a guy in an orange bunny suit floating in a bubble. So what's the price of Kensington's "lifestyle" pointing device. The Ci 70 wireless mouse costs $35 and it's 35 per cent thinner than your standard non-lifestyle mouse. The Ci 70LE wireless mouse has got "whimsical bubbles" that Kensington says are inspired by current home decor trends. Then it's got the Ci 75m wireless notebook mouse at $35 which comes in two "stylish" colours - orange and black.
