If that bulge in your laptop bag isn’t because your computer’s pleased to see you but instead the result of having to carry around a big bulky mouse, then Logitech’s new Ultrathin Touch Mouse may be of interest.

As its name suggests, it’s thin (ultra-thin, actually), with a design aimed at matching the style of Ultrabooks and Apple’s laptops.

The look of the brushed aluminum device will remind some of Apple’s Magic Mouse, and like the Magic Mouse, it also supports touch gestures – nine different ones, to be precise.

Powering up the mouse appears to be a straightforward and efficient process, too, with Logitech claiming a one-minute charge via USB will give you an hour’s use.

Available in black and white, the striking slim design could appeal to style-conscious cafe-based computer users reluctant to pull their existing jumbo-sized mouse from their bag.

Keen to get your hand(s) on the new wedge-shaped device? Consumers in the US and Europe can pick up a PC-compatible Ultrathin Touch Mouse this month for $70, while Mac users will need to wait till November. You can also pre-order it.

I never considered an ergonomic mouse as a viable option. As a PC gamer, putting comfort over performance never felt like a proper trade-off.

That all changed when I seriously injured my hand and found myself desperate for a solution that didn't involve quitting both my job and hobbies.

Why Apple finally killed the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro

Today's Apple Unleashed event brought with it several interesting announcements, including the release of the two new MacBook Pros. These notebooks are an upgrade over the existing versions of the MacBook in every possible way, but there's something they actually lose -- the Touch Bar. Why did Apple finally choose to get rid of a feature it was once so proud of?

Introduced five years ago, the Touch Bar was certainly a novelty on the laptop market. The narrow touch display, located right above the keyboard, was meant to revolutionize the whole user experience. Intended as a quick connection between the typing we know from laptops and the touchscreens we use on our phones, the Touch Bar certainly seemed like something Apple had great plans for … until it didn't.
