It's a must-have purchase for anyone who spends any time travelling and all the essentials for connection are contained in a protective, lightweight polyurethane storage case with heavy-duty zip.  Each of the five invaluable accessories that make up the Notebook Essentials Collection are kept in place with elasticated restraints to prevent damage or shifting when in transit.

A pair of Dual Cables - network and modem - each measures six feet and are housed in a spring-loaded disc. One cable connects to the computer's modem to a standard telephone jack, while the other will connect to an Ethernet network.

The USB optical mouse that is less than half the size of an ordinary desktop mouse, 3 inches by 1½ inches, makes it ideal for working in limited spaces, such as on board a plane or train.

A portable USB2.0 hi-speed hub expands one port into four, using a connector that's barely bigger than a packet of chewing gum. Users can connect a mouse, a drive, camera and digital music player all at the same time. There's even a power light so that you know the hub is ready for use.

The Mini-USB connector is ideal for transferring files from a digital camera, an MP3 player or even connecting to your mobile phone. With this device you can leave at least two to three cables at home or the office.

Finally the fifth accessory is a retractable USB cable so that even USB ports that are in awkward, hard to reach places won't present a problem.

Made from polyurethane, in the distinctive Verbatim mid-blue house colours, the individual accessories are the same blue with silver trim. Compatible with PC or Macintosh the storage case measures 19 x 11.5 x 5.5 cm  and weighs just 277 grams and will retail at around £24.99 - and it is destined to be an essential piece of kit to anyone with a notebook - have Verbatim Notebook Essentials Collection travel easy!
