    Hi,
    I was browsing everywhere and I can't find any messenger bag for a 18.4 inch monitor. 17 inch is the max that I see but it won't fit in a 18.4 inch. Any know where I can find a messenger bag for 18.4 inch?
    Thanks

    This one looks good, I have to find the USD price and internal dimensions to see if it fits, I am also looking for a bag for my W90 I do not like the stock bag too much and it has very little room for accessories.

    I was thinking it maybe cheaper & better too look at travel luggage since it will by nature be larger and not marketed as "computer gear" so it will be cheaper.

    lets face it you could have two identical bags, if one was a travel bag, and one was a laptop case, the laptop case would cost 2x more just because of its marketed use.

    The travel luggage may also have the expendable handle and wheels on it :p

    Nice Find!

    I wish they had more pictures of it, like compartments. id like one with side pockets like my targus bag had that i used for my G50 as those spaces dont get smashed by the laptop so I know my stuff is safe.

    But it looks good and specced for 18.4" so seems the best find so far.

    I'm still looking for messenger bag that can hold 18.4" monitor and so far the link I got are helpful but some are to expensive, some are ugly.

    here the spec for my laptop
    length : 17.28 inch
    deep : 11.77 inch
    height : 1.73 inch

    There some I saw like the microsoft 39008 which look nice but it say hold 17" laptop. They don't say the precise size the bag can hold. When to the manufacture no dimension, send them an email no reply bag.. starting to think there no nice messenger bag for it.

    They have to be able to ship in canada.
