Introduction
So you're a road warrior, and recently got a media-centric laptop to take with you on your travels. Perfect, except that when it's time to set the laptop on a table and kick back on the hotel bed to watch the latest episode of The Office from Hulu, controlling playback or searching for other videos requires you to get out of your comfortable position and go over to your computer. The Logitech diNovo Mini may be just what you're looking for. Read on for more!

Picture Highlights

|
| When you flip open the cover, the lights on the perimeter will illuminate, and, if it's dark, the keyboard backlight will come on. The pad in the upper right has two modes: D-Pad and Mouse. Red indicates Mouse mode. In this mode, we can move the mouse cursor around simply by touching the illuminated circle, much like a touchpad on a laptop computer. To click, you press inwards, or you can use the click/OK button on the upper left. To change the mode, you flip the toggle switch to the right of the Logitech logo. | If you own a Logitech mouse or keyboard, you'll probably recognize this interface. Here in the first screen, we can set mouse pointer speed and acceleration, add mouse trails, or turn on Smart Move so that the cursor jumps to the action button on a dialogue box. |
Overall Impression
This is a well-done product that I think the growing number of people using their computer as a multimedia center will appreciate. The diNovo Mini is easy to use, made of high quality materials, and is an excellent alternative to using a bulky wireless keyboard or mouse to control a computer. Or, if you're on the road a lot and enjoy using your laptop as a multimedia center, you'll appreciate the mobility that the diNovo Mini affords.
