This mouse is just the right size for a notebook and because it has such a small receiver you won't be bother by it at all.
Another strong point is that it doesn't have allot of functions, only scroll, back and forward.
They only drawback that i see so far is the lifetime of the batteries, which seems to be short. (maybe the batteries it came with were not new)

It's small, but more convenient for Netbook users. The biggest complaint about most Netbooks is the keyboard and the touchpad. Some manufacturer have addressed the keyboard by coming up with 10 inch screen with larger keys. The touchpad is another thing. Bigger keys force them to use smaller touchpad. I prefer a mouse for the simpler user interface. Drag and drop doesn't require me to click my left hand (I'm right handed). The small touchpad really makes this unbearable. The touchpad on a Netbook really serves a couple purposes. These are clicking webpage buttons and placing a cursor to location. The Netbook is a light use item; really used for internet surfing, e-mail, and lighter text editing. I use my touchpad for when I will only need to do simple thing. Other than that I tend to use the Nano and turn off the touchpad. I tend to move the cursor when I'm doing a lot of typing accidentally with the close quarters of the keyboard and touchpad area.
Anyway geting back to the Nano. It's small enough to fit in a pocket if you want to take it along with your Netbook. In meeting the first requirement for Netbook use, it is small. However, when in use, you don't feel like you have a compromised from a full size mouse. I have the full size Revolution VX. It's an amazing mouse. Best mouse I've used. The quick scrolling is a feature that simply makes navigation through long documents a joy. You can quick scan as the document rolls by. And as you see where you want to stop, the wheel is so precise that is stops on a dime. Even if you let the stop scroll past your destination, you attain a feel for the scroll where you wheel back up and hit the brakes when you see where you want to stop. The only difference from my Revolution is the thumbwheel and the location of the back and forward wheel buttons. I never use the thumbwheel, mostly because the back and forward buttons are thumb operated and just above the wheel. These buttons on the Nana are index finger operated. What I like is these butting are so well designed that I've never mistakenly hit either of them when left clicking or navigated the in the wrong direction. Some have complained about the size of the wheel as too small. For me this is actually a blessing. Left to right scrolling by side bumping the wheel is much easier than on my Revolution. With a Netbook a simple way to sidescroll on a mouse is a great convenience with larger webpages not fitting onto a 10 inch screen width. This thing is a joy. I've had it for over 3 months and I've never had a problem or changed out a battery. The battery is right now at 75% so, I don't think I'll have to change them out for a while.
It's a great mouse for any Notebook user; both small and powerful with features. For a Netbook user, it's a perfect match. Put your Nano in your pocket and your PC in a slipcase. On the go with few compromises from a larger Notebook with all the gadget in a heavy bag.

This mouse would be perfect if the wheel clicked like a normal button. Instead, it toggles the wheel between free-spinning and turning in discrete steps. This behavior is mechanical and not customizable. Unfortunately, using the wheel as a third button is ingrained in my mousing habits, making this very inconvenient.
