I have a 13" Aluminum Macbook (the first unibody that got screwed on screen quality, firewire, and illuminated keyboard). I use it for my freelance work 50+ hours a week, attached to a slightly older (previous gen) 20" Cinema Display. I use a cheap and tiny bluetooth mouse, and a standard apple keyboard.
For my bday, my parents got me another apple keyboard. They're awesome to do that; they didn't know I already had one. So I have a gift receipt and have $50 to spend at best buy on something that's going to improve my daily workflow, etc.
I could def. use a new mouse. Should I shell out the extra $20 for the Magic Mouse? Should I get a different mouse? Should I get something other than a mouse? What would you get with $50 from best buy?
Things on my would-be-nice-to-have list around the $50 mark:
-Nicer, more reliable mouse
-A USB Hub that fits with the apple-esque theme
-A nice desk lamp to enhance atmosphere
-2 or 3 powerstrips
-A reasonably comfortable office chair (currently sitting in hard plastic chair)
Open to ideas and suggestions!
