I bring an external hard drive anyway. That and a mouse receiver get plugged into the laptop at a campsite, if I use the laptop at all.

They make some tiny little "thumb drives" these days that barely stick
out of the port. My mouse is blue tooth that talks directly to the
laptop with a 30' range. (same as the 2.4 gz RF devices)


Which mouse? Do you not need a dongle with that mouse?


Nope, it is blue tooth and connects right to the built in blue tooth
on my Lenovo. There is a mating procedure in the blue tooth tab in
control panel.
I have become pretty partial to the Logitek "one dongle" 2.4 gz system
tho. You can connect up to 6 devices to one dongle. That lets you have
a keyboard, mouse and num pad in one port. I am not sure how you would
have 6 of anything.
The small form factor Logitek keyboard with a scratch pad is nice for
packing tho. When you have your laptop connected to the big screen in
the rental you can do everything from anywhere in the room. We still
like the num pad for running the music. The house in North Carolina
had speakers out on the deck from the entertainment center and by
putting the dongle on a USB extension cable, on the window sill we
could run the music from out there with the num pad.


That might be worth checking out. Thanks.
