Notebook Backpack and USB Hub.

Yeah, I just bought a new laptop and I need two accessories for it. First, I need a notebook backpack to lug around campus so it has to be sturdy. Second, I need a USB Hub because it's so annoying having to disconnect and reconnect USB wires to my notebook, plus I only have two. I don't mind buying off the internet or ebay or anything that accepts Paypal. Thanks for any advice.

 

I would recommend you look for a good general use backpack, and use it paired with a notebook sleeve, over a dedicated laptop backpack. Advertising that you have a 2 thousand dollar laptop, with a Targus, Belkin, or Swissgear backpack on a campus is almost asking to have the thing stolen. For USB, just look around for one that appeals to you. Name brand is not really important. I use a 7 port one i picked up at Best buy a few years ago. It was cheap and has no recognizable name, but has never given me any problems. Make sure it says it supports USB 2.0 though.

If you dont mind me asking, how well does your laptop play current games? The specs in your sig look about the same as the Dell M1330 which i plan on buying once its released. Kinda interested to see how well it runs Oblivion, or what its 3Dmark05 score is.

 

I just bought a viewsonic monitor, that has an ipod dock on it's base and works as a usb hub, maybe not in the same sense you were looking for though, but they still called it a usb hub.
