What is the difference between a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 and Desktop 5000 for Business

I have the home model and have never used the business model, so storry, I can't help you..

the business comes in a brown box. the retail comes in the pretty high gloss packaging you would see at a resale location i.e. target/bestbuy. due to the reduced packaging and other small feature adjustments, the price is typically less for the business.

From looking at the specs on both products, the following comes forth: the business model has a product number (44Q-0001) and the "home" model doesn't. The business model has a rated distance of 33', the "home" model has a rated distance of "up to 30'." Both have 104 keys, both have identical keyboards, the mouse for both is identical. The size for both is the same, KB: 18.1" x 8.59" x 1.47"; Mouse 4.59" x 2.77" x 1.6"; Transceiver 1.83" x 0.62" x 0.31". Both require 2 AA batteries (included) for the KB and two more AA batteries (included) for the Mouse. Both appear to use a USB for the transceiver. Both appear to have a 15 month user life for the KB and an 8 month user life for the mouse. The prices range from $50 to $70 on both products as well, depending on where one buys them. So other than that, I don't know.

I don't know. I've been very pleased with my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 500 & Wireless Mouse. For $50 total I think I got a got a good deal.

I don't really don't know what the difference is. Perhaps it's seat back height, or lumbar adjustment. There must be something if there's a price difference though. We've had our Office Star 5500 for at least 5 years now and are still very happy with it. In fact, it keeps moving from my desk to my husband's, though he claims, he doesn't know how it got there.

I haven't bought the wireless version but I'm certain its the same software, the only difference is the bluetooth headset. I don't know how much value the headset adds because I've always used my own microphones.

Found this in an article: http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/wireless-hdmi.html#2 The NAVS501 is a follow-up to the slightly less expensive NAVS500 kit, with the only difference between the two being support for 3D and multiple transmitters on the 501. Otherwise, both units support the same wireless range and WHDI technology, and both have a USB port that can be used to connect the wireless receiver for a keyboard/mouse to control a desk top PC remotely. This means that in terms of overall performance, the 500 and 501 perform the same.

Making any desktop wireless is quite simple and cheap. Buy a usb wireless adapter they are not expensive and you pretty much plug them into a usb post and follow the instructions.

From what I can find on the Microsoft site, the difference is in the packaging. It's probably just cheaper/simple cardboard packaging, so it costs less.

You have some functionality but it is easier with a mouse. I bought two cheap wireless keyboard and mouse kits from Big Lots for 20$ each, one is connected to my docking station and big screen and the other is kept in my office.

It is very comfortable to type on. However, the hardwired function keys limit its use and make it inconvenient. Unfortunately, Microsoft discontinued the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000, which I considered the best ever. I recommend first getting the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard for Business (5KV-00001). This is very comfortable but is build for desk use since it is heavy.

I contacted IOGEAR with the same question. Here is their reply. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi,There is no difference. The W6 comes with Spanish and French manual.Support@iogear.com

Well, the first and obvious difference is about $110. Second, the 851 comes with the wireless accessory kit to where the 850 has it as an additional add on. That and a slight difference in design, They appear to have all the same specs as far as functionality. I don't pay much attention to the freebie software they throw in with these things, but maybe that's part of the price difference as well. For me personally, the freebie software is free for a reason.

The iX6820 is just the iX6520 with wireless. I have both models, one at work and one at home. The graphic quality is exactly the same. Again the newer model is just with wireless added.

In the license agreement, it says one portable and one desk top. I'm assuming that Microsoft thinks one student will have both.

Honestly, I cannot tell any difference. I called the Microsoft Store and they don't have different versions. Strange.

Sorry, I don't know the difference. I will say that the eComfort lap desk which I have is much smaller than I expected. It was not really what I wanted and I've been a bit frustrated with the product, so maybe/hopefully the size is different. Good luck.
