The Magic Mouse 2 is identical to the original Magic Mouse in every major way but one—it now has a built-in, rechargeable, lithium-ion battery. That Apple didn't change it more is either reassuring or maddening, depending on your feelings towards the...

Non rieco a trovare lo scontrino del primo Magic Mouse che ho acquistato, ma sono piuttosto sicuro di averlo pagato 69€. Nel corso del tempo è leggermente aumentato e, prima dell'arrivo del secondo modello, ne costava 79. A questi bisognava aggiungere...
