    I've checked out some specs and i have found that Acer laptops don't seem to fit into the regular 15.4 inch size bags. At least mine doesn't
    There is a bag onsale now at Best buy, the Targus New York, It claims to fit a 15.4 Inch laptop, my acer 1694 is a 15.4 screen laptop. But i've checked up on the specs and my 1694 is .1 inch wider than the bag's internal notebook sleeve.

    Does anyone have any recommondations of a laptop bag that will fit the extra .1 inch?

    I had a Dell deluxe leather case when I had my Acer - it fit it with plenty of room to spare. It was a really well made bag, and protected the laptop well. Dell has it for ~$70, it depends on what deals they have.

    Also, check out the Targus Messenger bag - they are at Best Buy, really nice bags.

    I recommend taking your laptop to the store and seeing if it fits in any of the bags, that is one way to be sure! ;)

    .1 inch is nothing. I don't think It would make your notebook not to fit.

    Hi, if Targus say that's the bag for a 15.4 then believe in them. They are a reputable company and would not lie about their products....

    I got the Targus BlackTop Messenger bag for my Asus Z70va. It's great for any 15.4" notebook.
