    Hi i would like a backpack that is big enough to keep the XPS 15 with extra space for books etc.
    I am currently looking at these bags Timbuk2 Swig, Crumpler King Single and Swissgear Pegasus but of course im open to suggestions.

    For the Wireless mouse i would like to know if the Logitech G700 or the Razer Orochi is better. Im in singapore so there isn't any roccat...

    For me, I would definitely choose G700 as it offers higher level of comfort. Razer Orochi is a little bit smaller to hold on and usually claw grip is required. ;)

    I agree with Jeffrey1987. I own both and the G700 is much better, imo.

    My vote is for the Swissgear, I just purchased that bag the other day and it is perfect for the XPS 15 plus a whole other compartment you can fill with school stuff (in my case) or additional computer stuff if that is your need. Plus it is very comfortable when full.

    I also have a Timbuk2 messenger laptop bag and after about 10 minutes its really uncomfortable.

    Logitech G700. It is superior to the Razer Orochi in every single way.

    Well it is up to you but the G700 is 100 and the Razor Mamba is 130 but if you get it with Black Ops, NewEgg was offering 30 bucks off bringing it to 100...I have a Mamba and I must say it is super comfortable and extremely accurate. I used the G7 for the longest time and never wanted to replace it, the Mamba is like the G7 except it is just more accurate and prettier lol.

    - Razer Mamba is more expensive ($130 vs. $87 on NewEgg)
    - Razer Mamba has shorter battery life between recharges.
    - Razer Mamba has a rather large base station for its recharging / wireless operation that is rather inconvenient to carry around. the Logitech G700 has a wireless receiver smaller than a US nickel.

    I'll take a Logitech G700 over any Razer mouse any day. Just because Razer has a "g4M3rZ" branding and image doesn't mean they make better products for gaming.

    You will not regret getting the G700; it is a VERY nice mouse. It has a lot of functionality, but also very good build quality; some of my other mouses have side panels that can flex when pressed, but the G700 feels very solid despite its lighter weight.

    G700 is way better than the Orochi in every single way. I went through a torrid time with my Orochi, lasted me only 2 weeks.

    The Orochi is a fantastic little mouse, but it's not a wireless gaming mouse in the same way the G700 is. If you want a mouse for wireless gaming, the G700 is a good choice. Also take a look at the Razer Mamba. It's not as portable, but if you don't plan on taking it around everywhere anyway, it's top-notch.
