Sometimes I would rather use a mouse on my laptop instead of the touchpad. At home, I simply plug one in, but when I travel I can't do this.
The Mini-Mousepad would be a small mousing surface that slides out of the side of the laptop with a mini-mouse attached and connected to the computer internally.
This way the mouse won't get separated from the computer.

I seem to remember seeing a mousepad like this, as a clip-on rather than built-in, but I can't find any links. |

Could you run your mouse on the CD tray...? |

HP made a micro-laptop that had a tiny little mouse that popped out of the side and operated on a little swing arm. The movement was measured inside by how the arm moved, so the tiny mouse had no electrical parts in it. I thought it was pretty neat, but apparently I was the only one. See link. |

sure, but I would rather have a 60gb hard drive
(it would take up so much space) |

My laptop has a USB optical mouse. I use any approximately flat surface as a mouse-pad, such as my thigh, or a char (="chair"; sorry, [half]) arm, or the part of the laptop next to the touchpad.
//when I travel I can't do this.//
Why not?

I would _always_ rather use a mouse than my touchpad. |

("char arm", angel? I know a guy who had one of those. He fell on a really, really hot barbecue grill. Ended up with a really cool scar on his forearm.) |
