Lenovo N5901 Mini Wireless Keyboard

I was leery at first... when I read the sticker on the box, I thought it was a bad omen.  It read:

"PC connect TV 

Wireless is more fun 

Mouse Keyboard

two in one"

It just sounded goofy.  What was inside the box, however, was not goofy at all.  This device is a little handheld keyboard and mouse combo.

The keyboard is a bit larger than one on a cell phone, which means you can actually tap the correct letters when you type.  The trackball mouse works great, but I do miss finger-swipe scrolling like on a touchpad.

So, what is this thing good for?  I'm glad you asked.  I decided to keep a computer hooked up to our TV permanently.  No more pulling HDMI cables across the living room every time we want to watch Hulu on the TV.  This will also make YouTube better.  Overall, who doesn't want to work their computer on a 40" monitor?  All entertainment can go through the PC, if we so choose.

So now we have a Sony Vaio with a 2.1Ghz Dual-Core AMD Athlon II processor, 4Gb RAM, and Radeon HD 4200 graphics.  Which means full HD, Blu-Ray playback, music, and gaming... all controlled from the palm of my hand, while never having to move my self from the sofa.  And all on a nice, big, vivid screen. 

And this thing only cost $29.99.

Ain't technology great?
