So you liked Logitech’s MX and VX Revolution mousers, did ya? Then check the VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse with that crazy-small 2.4GHz USB receiver for laptop users. The VX Nano features a mini, hyper-fast scrolling MicroGear scroll wheel along with forward and back buttons mapped to your browser, five programmable buttons, and is said to run for up to 6 months of a pair of AAA batteries. All yours for $70 worldwide in late August. Notebooks.com got themselves some sit-down time with the mouse with the video to prove it.

Japanese peripheral manufacturer Buffalo has cooked up a storage option you might want to crack open your wallet for: a whopping 56GB SSD in a thin, external form factor that’s just shy of credit card-size. Of course, it’s not nearly the mind-blowing capacity of PQI’s monster, but for an external SSD, they don’t get much bigger. Sure, it’s priced at Â¥94,980 (around $783), which isn’t exactly cheap, but if this trend continues these prices are bound to drop — and just think of the possibilities of never having to hear a drive mechanism failing again. 8GB, 16GB, and 24GB models available late July, but the 56GB variation hasn’t been given a release date yet.

VAIO users wanting to keep things coordinated now have a new option to consider, with Sony recently introducing its 24-inch VGP-D24WD1 widescreen monitor, apparently designed specifically to go along with their Type R desktops. From the looks of it this one hits all the right spec marks, boasting a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 92% NTSC color purity, a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 400cd/m2 brightness, and a 6 ms response time, along with a pair of HDCP-compliant DVI ports and one VGA port. Look for this one to be available in Japan “soon” for Â¥129,000 (or roughly $1,060).
