If I use the computer often, I find myself needing new batteries once every 2 weeks, compared to my previous regular non-bluetooth wireless mouse which lasted several months before the battery needed to be changed. The only downside of the non-bluetooth wireless mouse is that it required a small wireless adapter to be plugged into the USB port of the laptop, thus another item to carry around, while the bluetooth mouse requires no extra adapters and connects directly to the internal bluetooth.
