I found some interesting things from reading the 'user guide'. There is a 'wireless mouse' option for $60. If you click on details, it says something to the effect of a built in receiver option.
I had thought this was just a BT mouse, but apparently it is not. To initiate it, you don't go through the BT paring procedures, instead you press a button on the bottom of the laptop and on the bottom of the mouse. Distance is limited to 2 feet. This looks to be an infrared mouse, not even an RF mouse.
Moreover, it looks like the Sony BT doesn't support mouse devices, although it is reference in general in the manual (more like a reference to what BT technology can do rather than what the Sony BT is capable of). I would think if the Sony BT supports mouse, it would use that feature instead of giving you an infrared option for a IR mouse. That's a pity, as the mouse is only a two button mouse, and I'd rather use mouse from the likes of Logitech or Microsoft.

I went from a Sony to a Sager, but am extremely happy having done so. Looking forward to hearing how your new VAIO works out.
