    Hi,

    I am looking for a new carry bag/bag pack.

    Ideally I would like something that can carry

    - Lenovo x200t
    - Nikon D200 1/2 Extra lens
    - Couple of pair of clothes and few misc things

    Previously had wenger product but I can't put in camera/lens in it and its too big for a 12 inch machine.

    Edited : Also looking for a wireless mouse.

    Please

    Suggest.

    I am not sure about the bag, but I see that you need a wireless mouse and you have a Thinkpad. Do you have bluetooth? If so I would seriously consider the Thinkpad Wireless Bluetooth mouse. I have it and simply love it, it is perfect. Check it out here

    PS - I am jealous, the x200t is a beautiful machine :D

    Its interesting but I think it uses AA battery, I would prefer it to have something like vx revolution. But definitely considerable.

    Yes indeed its a very nice machine esp when I got it $1k cheaper compared to lenovo.com :D.

    @Chris

    Thanks. But I already own a Tamrac holster pro 7 when I am not carrying everything. If it is too much to have all these features. What is the option to carry around x200t and few other things.

    Why are you against the AA batteries? The Vx Revolution uses 1 AA battery, where as the Thinkpad mouse uses 2. I have both.

    How did you get your machine so much cheaper, might I ask?

    I got it from a reseller Costcentral. I checked on lenovos site and they are Premium Partner (*) and warranty service provider. I saw it for $1686 at there place, of the other two which were even cheaper ecomm and provantage, this one was the only one which had records at lenovo. I was about to place order on last wed night when suddenly when I refreshed the page to check for stock before placing order I saw price listed as $1524 for 7994-8JU, it has 3 years warranty, a dock, etc.. same config came for almost $2600 at lenovo. And I got it delivered on Friday early morning :).

    So back to the question of mouse. How long do standard rechargeable battery last ? Also I wanted to know if there were options with programmable buttons. Currently I have razer deathadder but that is bit bigger but very very comfortable.

    Also please suggest a carry case, which can at least take in tablet well protected and few pair of clothes and things, will be ok if its not for camera, as I need to order one really soon.

    Thanks
