    I'm looking for a good bag for my wife's incoming HP6500TSE.

    I know Brenthaven bags were made for Macs but I really like the design and protection that the Metro Shoulder Case offers.

    http://www.brenthaven.com/catalog-metro-black.html

    The specs say the bag can handle a maximum of 14" x 10" x 1.5" D

    The HP 6500 is around 14.05" x 10.12" x 1.69" D

    Do you think it would be bad to use the case for the laptop since the laptop is slightly bigger than the max?

    Anyone use the two together?

    Thanks.

    hmm well the max it can handle surely should mean the MAX. so wouldnt it be very hard to fit the laptop into something that is smaller than it?

    :D Haha. Well, yeah it did say MAX. eheheh. I was just thinking that the foam protection would give way a little to the slight increase in dimensions. eheheh. Oh well, I thought I found the perfect bag....

    I think it is overpriced for what it is... it IS a very good brand, but based on the characteritics, you would be better with something like this one from Sumdex. It is a nice series,and also good colors, specially if you this is for your wife :)

    Now, if you are looking for something more hi-end, in terms of brand, Brenthave is great! Find the best price and other colors here.
