    So, I have a new Sony Vaio SR that I have bought recently. I have been having a few contemplations about it.

    I have been considering buying a 4 GB Dual-Channel Ram kit for it, or buying a decent laptop sleeve.

    I have about $50-60 right now to put toward my laptop. I'm not sure if it would be worth saving up for the RAM (as it is not entirely necessary), or the Sleeve which would help protect the Matte paint coat on the laptop. I see that it's already slightly starting to wear off, since I'm very rough on my laptops...

    (Someone once described my backpack as being like a twister had gone through it.... )

    So, if there is a decent laptop sleeve I could buy, could someone point me toward a decent one for the dimensions of the SR.

    The thing is a 13.3" diagonal... so it's about 12.4" wide and 8"-9" wide, I can't remember. The thickness is like, .99"-1.3", which I am most concerned about. Are regular 13.3" laptop sleeves adequate enough for that thickness?
