    Hey guys I just picked up a Gateway P173X (17") and I'm having trouble figuring out what bag will work for me. I'm going to use it to store my laptop, full size day timer, at least one school book, pens, notebook and other various things. Should I purchase a "sleeve" for the laptop? What would you all recommend that is big enough to do all that?

    Also which laptop coolers work well with this model laptop? Any other accessories I should consider? Thanks in advance!

    For a cooler you can have a look at the Zalman NC-2000, pricey but work very well.

    As for bags, have a look at my travel guide and decide what sort of combination works best for you. :)
