TopStrengths: Small and compact. Easy to install and use no driver required.
Weakness: Quite Pricey.
I just got this mouse for my friend to replace her broken one. She liked it very much. The color fits perfectly with her current VAIO laptop. It is very easy to install. She is novice in computers but she can do it herself. It is small and compact but still comfortable.

TopStrengths: Small, lightweight, silky smooth and very comfortable.
Weakness: Zero! (Except it won't change channels on the plasma TV)
I can't believe some people complain about this mouse. Folks, this is a $20 mouse! (that's what I paid for it here, OEM model) What do you expect, a built in monitor?
I'm a big guy (big hands) and my wife is very petite (small hands). We both think this is a very comfortable mouse for our three laptops; we own three of these mice. The neighbor lady also likes the feel of this mouse (she comes over when my wife is out of town). When on the floor or in the car with the small mobile laptop I move the mouse on my knee, thigh, hand or other places I am not at liberty to mention here (works great on almost any surface). Someone complained because this mouse didn't work well on their carpeting! Good grief, why not install hardwood floors!
It has very good battery life, OK range (those that complain about the range...do they have the laptop/receiver in the living room and the mouse in the dining room?), very cheap, smooth and nice looking. The newer versions have an improved receiver. Yes, you have to snap the receiver into the mouse when done to turn the power off and save on battery life (this takes all of 3 seconds).
We feel this is an excellent mouse for this price range.

TopStrengths: Easy use, convenient, long lasting battery
Weakness: none so far
My roommate purchased this mouse after read the online reviews. She highly recommended it to me so I purchased two, one for me and one for my sister. I really love this mouse for the size, convenient use and the color. I travel requently, it doesn't occupy much space and works well with my cute Dell Inspiron 700m notebook. I highly recommend this product.

TopStrengths: Small size, wireless, optical
Weakness: none so far
I used a wired mouse on my laptop because I hate having the touchpad turned on when I am typing (always ended up typing on another line if my palm touched the pad). The corded mouse was cheap but it was always getting tangled up. With this wireless optical mouse no more wires, hoorah. I don't travel with it so I can't complain that it is larger than other mice designed to be portable. Nice ergonomics, pleasing color. Highly recommended.

TopStrengths: Energy efficient.
Weakness: none
It has a ok design if you like it, and it's very protable and energy efficient. It is easier to hold in hand and a reasonable signal reception range. Overall it's a good wireless mouse with affordable price.

TopStrengths: Good size (medium) - light, nice feedback from scroll wheel.
Weakness: Does not have extra buttons - eg for page forward, backward
This is a well designed and portable mouse designed by mircrosoft - ideal for laptops. The receiver has no cable and attaches to the USB port. Range is more than adequate on a desktop. The mouse itself runs on a single AA battery. No software is needed - it works directly with Windows XP. Only negative is a lack of extra page forward/backward buttons.

TopStrengths: small, comfortable, nice looking, snap-in receiver
Weakness: no manual on-off switch, a little thick (especially with the receiver snapped in)
This is my 4th Microsoft optical mouse, just like other Microsoft mouses I own, it is smooth, comfortable and accurate. I like the snap-in receiver design, it's perfect for my laptop. However, there is no manual on-off switch on the mouse, so I have to unplug the receiver and put it back to the mouse to save the battery, not a big problem though. I wish there were a side buttern on this mouse, like Microsoft InteliMouse. Overall, it's a very good wireless optical mouse for laptops. I would buy again.

TopStrengths: Small, Resonalble price, and Practical
Weakness: None.
This mouse is a must for notebook person. It's small and practical. I got a good deal from Buy.com plus MIR and $5 from PriceGrabber. There is no on-off switch but if you put the usb back to the mouse, it will turn off the mouse automatically. It will save the battery for you. The signal is very good. I have no problem about it so far. I would highly recommended.

Strengths: Customizeable buttons, easy-to-use design, wireless, easy snap-in receiver.
Weakness: none
Unlike some notebook mice that are too small, I found this wireless optical mouse perfect for use with either my full size computer or notebook. It has worked flawlessly and feels very comfortable. I even purchased another one of these for use with another computer.

TopStrengths: Small. Has the best features of a full-size mouse (optical, wireless, wheel) with the size of a laptop mouse, perfect for portability as well as usability. Only uses 1 AA battery (included!!).
Weakness: Not ideal for use on carpeting without a mouse pad. The cavity for the receiver on the bottom gets caught on the carpeting.
A great mouse!! The only thing I would change is I would add the third and fourth buttons (for going back and forward when web browsing) that are common on Microsoft's higher end mice. Every laptop user should have this mouse!!

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse
Strengths: Small, Smooth, Cheap
Weakness: Maybe too small for prolonged use
If you are looking for a small mouse that you can take with you on the road this could be it. It's very easy to use and doesn't have any cables. The receiver folds up nicely underneath the mouse and doesn't use any battery life that way. I found the mouse much more convienient to use than the one built into my laptop. It also runs on just 1 AA battery.
