    Hey all! I just bought a Dell Studio XPS 16 recently and I've been looking at laptop bags. I found the Booq Boa Nerve L and it looks really nice. I've been thinking about buying it but before I do, I wanted to know other people's experiences with this bag (how well it's made, durability, laptop protection, etc.).

    Any advice is appreciated.

    why would you want a laptop bag for the lappy 486? Who would want to cary around a 42 lb laptop with a 5 minute battery life?
    :p

    Well that's why I bought that Dell because my back was killing me ;)

    I've heard that booq bags are good. Can anybody give some info on booq bags? I just want to make sure before spending $150 on a bag.

    I have tried many different bags, from Booq to Slappa and many in between. The Booq bags are by far the best bags I have owned. I just bought a new Python backpack last week :)

    Well that makes me feel better. I actually took the plunge and just bought it. I actually found a 20% online coupon too. I'm excited.
