"If
you often present PowerPoint slides, you've probably yearned
to be untethered from your laptop...[Atek's Tote-Remote]...performed
nicely up to 30 feet away from my notebook....It did work
as soon as I plugged in its USB RF receiver...and it
fits snugly in one hand." Michael Laskey, PC

"A remote that makes things rote for presenters."
Ian Austen, The
New York Times
"If you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, you need
two accessories: a laser pointer and a way to control your
Mac remotely. Atek's Tote-Remote rolls both of these presenters'
staples into one slick little device....We pity the [people]
who have to give PowerPoint presentations, but the Tote-Remote
at least makes it a little bit fun."
Niko Coucouvanis, MacAddict
"Every now and then you find a computer add-on so practical
and useful that it makes you wonder how you ever got along
without it. If you use a laptop to show Microsoft PowerPoint
presentations, get ready to send me a thank-you e-mail. The
Tote-Remote add-on from a company called Atek is going to
make your life as a road warrior much easier....See why this
is such a cool device? In the past, I'd pack a mouse in my
laptop bag. That at least let me walk back in front for the
length of the cable. I've used a wireless mouse several times,
too, but the mouse itself and the wireless receiver were just
bulky enough to overstuff my bag. The Tote-Remote is so small
that it's no hassle to bring along....I'm becoming a huge
fan of Atek.... Another product they make, the Super Mini
Optical Mouse, is well worth checking out if you regularly
use a laptop."

"Atek keeps making great products for mobile workers.
The last Atek item we tested was the Super Mini Optical Mouse,
a two-button mouse that was very mobile. Now comes the Tote-Remote,
an outstanding product that lets you control your PowerPoint
presentations wirelessly....Our tests revealed the remote
worked with several cube walls in the way and from the 30-foot
limit."
Keith Shaw, Network

"Atek's remote mouse is a winner. As someone who makes
many professional presentations as part of my career, I have
tried out many "remote mice" that let speakers advance
Microsoft PowerPoint presentations at a distance instead of
having to return to the laptop to advance the slides. Some
have been a pain to install (or uninstall when you are done)
and others require you to stay within "line of sight"
with your laptop or the receiver. At last, someone has gotten
this right. Atek Electronics has released the "Tote-Remote,"
a small receiver that plugs into the laptop's USB port and
starts working immediately. It works up to 30 feet from the
laptop and includes a laser pointer. In my tests, it worked
flawlessly. It was simple to operate and use, and it included
both page up and scroll. No drivers needed to be installed
- just plug and go....The same company also offers a small
optical mouse for laptop use on the road - a great idea if
you hate trackpads and other small mice. It also is simple
to install and works great." [Customers please note:
technically the Tote-Remote is not a "mouse" because
it does not control the arrow - Atek James Derk, Evansville
