    I just picked up a used X61 and need a compact bag for it. I bought a small laptop for the portability and would like a bag to carry one that concept. I don't need a bunch of room, just enough for the power adapter and a webcam, maybe a spare battery. I would prefer a messenger style if possible. Less than $50 would be nice also.

    Consider the Samsonite L25/L35 models.

    Anybody have experience with this one? Link

    The L35 looks nice as well.

    Per the review, it seems to be a perfect fit for the X series.

    I am still debating between the two I linked. The lenovo bag is available in the lenovo outlet for $40 but would with there reputation of shipping it could be a month getting here. The Samsonite I could get in two days for $33 thanks to Amazon Prime. I like the style of the Lenovo better but with the notebook, charger, mouse, and webcam I believe it will be a tight fit. On the other hand I don't care for the luggage look of the Samsonite but the overall utility is likely to be much better. Decisions Decisions.
