    Can someone recommend me the best looking bag theyv seen for my HP DV2000T 14" widescreen?

    my preference:

    a) looks would be the #1 criteria and would be deemed as very important
    b) size should be as small as possible
    c) ill be placing the adaptor and mouse only with the notebook. no other peripherals so that i can maintain the small size of the notebook.

    can you give me your top3 choices. thanks.

    the new jansport Momus its 119.99 and its a messenger bag designed for 13.3" notebooks it has 2 compartments 1 for the notebook and the other just the main compartment i had my notebook and it fits in the main compartment nice and snug and its the smallest messener bag you'll be able to find its very stylish as well. link to product is: http://www.compusa.com/products/pro...ode=340518&Pn=Modus_Woman_#39;s_Messenger_Bag

    I returned it because i didnt like the way it felt on my shoulder the uneven weight distribution so i returned it for a backpack. I also was able to fit my notebook cooler in there with the adapter, mouse, etc.

    I had a tight sleeve for my dv2000t and i was able to put it in the "main" compartment just fine it was actually a nice snug fit but if you just put the laptop in without a sleeve it would be a little looser and just as good, yea its made for 13.3" because it has a special little compartment for the notebook if you just use the normal main compartment the 14.1 dv2000t fits nicely :) i had one but returned it for a backpack its like 119.99 at compusa but im sure you can find one cheaper online they did just come out

    for $120, you can get a much better bag imo than that. Try www.ebags.com they have a really good selection in my experience. You might want to also check out some of the smaller bag makers like tom bihn, sf waterfield, crumpler, timbuk2, booqbags.
