    Hi everyone,
    I just received my new M1530 and I'm just loving it. However, I am in need of some help, mainly in finding the right bag. I am currently a high school Senior and will be attending some UC or TCU in the fall, so I need a backpack for my laptop and maybe my college books. I have looked at messenger bags but they just aren't what I am looking for. These are the ones I am currently looking at:

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001H27PS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    If anyone could provide some insight on these and hopefully test to see if an M1530 would fit in them, I would greatly appreciate it. :D Also, if anyone has any input on any other accessories that'd be great too. I am thinking of getting the Razer Lachesis or Microsoft Habu and a Razer Lycosa for my mouse and keyboard. ;) Thanks for the help everyone.

    I will be going to college next year too, and my 1530 should be shipped out tommorow. I already have a backpack that I can use to carry it, so I just got a neoprene sleeve for $9 off of ebay and then I will throw it in my backpack, and that way it will be protected from water if it rains and from getting scratched. I also got a bluetooth mouse off of ebay for $17, you should look into getting that. I don't know how good it will be since it's so cheap, but I will find out soon!

    Ebay is amazing for cheap laptop accessories! Pretty descent quality too, and it's so quick and easy: 4 clicks of the mouse and it's all payed for!
