United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland 1st September 2011 – Canon today expands its range of stylish and portable calculators with the introduction of the X MARK I MOUSE Slim.

Streamlined design, intelligent functions
The X MARK I MOUSE Slim features the same premium design as its predecessor the X MARK I MOUSE, but with a reduced body size. The sleek, angular and streamlined body is comfortable to hold in the hand, and the reduced size and lightweight design means it is perfect for use with mobile laptops. A smart matte surface also makes the calculator easy to grip and with a choice of a glossy white or glossy black finish, the X MARK I MOUSE Slim looks as good as it performs. With a fully-functional scroll-wheel, three click buttons and integrated Bluetooth 2.0 for instant connectivity to computers, the calculator can be used as a high performance wireless laser mouse (1200 dpi). Compatible with both Windows® and Macintosh hardware[1], the X MARK I MOUSE Slim provides complete versatility for users working on different devices and can also be used as a wireless numeric keypad, providing a convenient tool for numerical data entry – particularly when using a laptop. A high-resolution, ten-digit display panel ensures that data is clearly displayed at all times, and provides at-a-glance updates on operational status, while the durable PC-style keys provide a familiar experience to standard keyboard typing, making it easy to work through complex equations. The X MARK I MOUSE Slim can also be user-locked to avoid accidental pressing during ‘mouse’ use.
Sleek, stylish and environmentally-sustainable
As well as extensive features, the X MARK I MOUSE Slim boasts the low environmental impact construction characteristic of Canon’s calculator range. Like the X series models before it, the lower case of the new calculator has been part-manufactured using plastic recycled from other Canon processes, maximising style and minimising waste.
An efficient power-management system also helps to prevent the use of unnecessary energy, with an Auto-power Off function that automatically shuts the unit down after a set period of inactivity[2]. A low power indicator is also featured on the display, allowing users to manually turn off the device when not in use to extend battery life even further. The X MARK I MOUSE Slim will be available in the UK and Republic of Ireland from October 2011, priced at £34.99/€39.99 RRP incl. VAT. [1] Bluetooth-compatible computer required
[2] Mouse functionality ceases after 30mins of non-use. In calculator mode, seven minutes of inactivity will automatically activate Auto-power Off mode
