    Hi guys,

    i'm waiting for the M6400 I ordered. I didn't choose any of the Dell bags cause I wanted to get it myself.

    So here's the question. Which bag to choose - especially regarding the big power supply.

    I already did a search:

    Targus - Atmosphere
    http://www.targus.com/de/product_details.asp?sku=TNT011EU

    Targus - Blacktop
    http://www.targus.com/de/product_details.asp?sku=TCC015EU

    Swiss Gear - Saturn
    http://www.swissgear-shop24.de/SwissGear-SATURN-Notebooktasche-by-WENGER_c1_p232_x2.htm


    Which bag do you (M6400-owners) use?

    cheers
    Blues

    I have the Torq.

    The "boot" which is the laptop sleeve you have to get is the largest one, which isnt "rated" for the Torq backpack, but it actually works fine in it.

    I carried a bag like the ones above long ago and gave up. Backpacks are WAY better for your shoulders and arms carrying this kind of weight. Plus it leaves your hands free and you can carry it much further without fatigue.
    I will never use a hand/shoulder bag again and havent in a long time. My shoulders thank me for it.

    These backpacks are about as sturdy as they come cause the company takes technology from outdoor backpacks - SERIOUS type outdoor backpacks. But these are for laptops. A bit pricey, but as I said in another thread - I have one Ive used daily for 5 years
    and it really truly still looks and feels new. And Ive put a heavy laptop and power supply and a lot of other stuff it it. It has no weak spots I can find still after 5 years (4.5 actually).

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!

    Customer service is great too!!!!

    I am interested in finding out information about this as well. I would rather keep away from the backpacks. They are too large. Are there any recommendations for a bag that is just big enough for the M6400 without having to have a lot of room for accessories. What about sleeves? What sleeves would people recommend for the M6400. Thanks.

    Is the Atmosphere Europe only? I don't see it on the Targus US website.

    I'll be buying the Dell neoprene sleeve for the M6400 for about $40. Although actual price seems to vary $30-$40 (discounts, etc.).
