5. Bag And Mouse Included
A nice touch: while most mobile PCs requires that a travel bag and mouse be ordered separately, Gigabyte includes these necessary and useful accessories.
Extras included: an optical mouse and...
...travel bag are free.
The sturdy nylon bag looks like a quality product. For optimal protection from mechanical damage, the compartment holding the mobile PC itself is padded. Other accessories and documents can be securely stored in interior pockets. The bag also offers enough room to accommodate the 90 watt power supply.
Size and weight within the normal range: 90 watt power supply
With mouse, notebook, and power supply packed in the bag you've got an 8 lb (3.6 kg) load on the padded shoulder strap.
