Growing Notebook Market Spurs New Accessories From MicrosoftNotebook sales are now outpacing desktop PCs three to one,1
and to meet that growth, the Microsoft Hardware Group is entering a new
category of notebook accessories with the introduction of the Notebook
Cooling Base, designed to make notebook use more comfortable with a
built-in fan and sleek form. Microsoft Corp. is also responding to the
rapid success of the Arc Mouse, which reached the top-10 list of
best-selling mice after just two months on the market,2 by
releasing the award-winning mouse in four special edition colors: deep
olive green, marine blue, eggplant purple and frost white. These
products provide a great way for people to display their unique style
and work in comfort on their notebooks.

Notebook Cooling Base provides reliable cooling with a built-in fan and
efficient cooling channel to prevent overheating. The base is easy to
use with any notebook and is contoured to rest on both desks and users’
laps, providing a comfortable typing angle. The Notebook Cooling Base
has a slim, portable design at only 1.16 inches thick, a cable
management clip to allow the cable to be neatly stored when not in use,
and is USB-powered so no batteries are needed. The base will be
available in white and black. Keeping cool in style has never been
easier.Mice Get a Splash of ColorColor continues to be an important factor for consumers when buying electronics, according to Colorcom consultant Jill Morton.“People form a personal connection to a product in a color they like,” Morton said.The Arc Mouse special edition colors can add a splash of personal flair and style to any computer.Outside
