We’ve seen many companies bring out protective sleeves for netbooks, along with bags designed for netbooks. Other accessories considered as essentials include travel mice and external DVD readers, due to most software still needing, or being easier to install anyway, through a DVD. Installing a new OS on a netbook is also much easier if you’ve got an external DVD reader, rather than formatting a USB thumb drive in such a way that the netbook boots from the drive. With this is mind, Acer have created a bundle pack combining these items. The pack includes a protective sleeve which supports netbooks with up to an 11.6 inch display, a USB DVD-RW Drive along with a wireless mouse. It’s noted the USB DVD Drive is powered through USB, so unlike many other external DVD drives, there’s no need for a seperate power cable.

It’s available from several US stores, including TigerDirect and is most easily found by it’s model number “A180-1221″ (thanks Liliputing). Retail price is $100.
