If all you do is browse the web, a touchpad is often all you need.

For text editing / word processing, a good keyboard is often all what's needed, and the use of mouse is often discouraged by gurus.

I still can easily imagine using the Leap Motion device while editing images and especially 3D models. Even more I can imagine using it in games, especially games written with this device in mind.

I don't own the device but I tried it. What's great is that you don't need to wave your hands in the air, Minority report-style; moving your fingers us enough. I wish it was built into a keyboard; it would replace a touchpad / trackpoint easily, adding much more capabilities.

BTW does anyone here remember how clumsy were mice on PCs in, say, 1992?
