    Hi all. Just joined this forum after being a lurker for the past 2 weeks. I just got my Dell I6000 after sniping one of those 45% off deals from Dell :)

    I'm getting a notebook backpack from Dell also (they're giving me one as a freebie :eek: ) and I'm having decision problems. I've initially chosen the Kensington Contour backpack after reading good reviews about it. The thing is when I checked my account in Dell, the item would be available in 3+ weeks so I gotta wait. The only available ones from their site that looks good to me are the ff -

    Kensington SaddleBag Sport Computer Backpack

    TARGUS Sport Standard Backpack with Active Noise Cancellation Headphones (the bag looks fine but whats good is that it comes w/ free headphones)

    What would you think would be the best choice? Should I wait for the Contour backpack or choose either one of the readilly available ones above? If I have to choose, I'd get the Saddlebag Sport backpack... any reviews on this backpack? Pls advise and give pros and cons if ever. Thanks a lot in advance. This is a great community!

    I'm not going to compare any at all but just have some comments on the Kensington Contour Backpack.

    This is an EXCELLENT bag. It's comfort level is top notch, the lumbar support system really does work. Storage capacity is sufficient, and Kensington has a lifetime warranty.

    all just FYI.

    I bought a Targus laptop backpack, and the straps were randomly short...had to return it. I'm not even that big either, I was surprised. The straps were so short, I was in pain after walking with the bag on my back.

    Personally I would wait and see what the Dell offers. If you don't like it you can get soemthing else.
