    I was wondering if there are any good thin notebook bag for around $30 since my maxxum is too big to carry around the school and bus.

    Are you interested in messenger bags or backpacks? The Logitech Kinetik is an option, but is somewhat pricey at $99. Also consider the Belkin Energy collection.

    The Maxuum is too big? What do you usually load in it?

    I've been looking for a decently large back in the event I lug textbooks to school... so if you find it big... maybe it is the ideal bag for me. :O

    Case Logic makes pretty slim notebook bags for 15.4 inch models. You can check out their Slimline series...

    But if it's a backpack you're looking for, Targus has a good selection.

    I recommend the Lowepro Tropolis 1250. I have the same one (for 17") but it is the same thing. Its excellently padded, compartments, and the best case ive ever used. ;)

    I have a Belkin energy series for 15.4 backpack, which is very slim. However, in thoses kind of bag, you cannot carry much. In mine I currently have my laptop + PSU, VX nano mouse, mouse pad and logitech headphones for laptop. I would not put much more inside.

    But it have a small form factor, so I'm glad of it because I have all the essencials.

    Thoses backpas are available only on Dell.com
