Reccomend me a Messenger bag.

Hello all. I am looking for a messenger bag for my laptop, for when I am out and about. I am currently using a Targus back back, but do to my growing family I need something smaller that will fit under the back seat of my truck. (my backpack almost fits but not quite)

I was looking at these two bags
Ballistix PTAC Matrix Laptop Shoulder Bag by SLAPPA
Maxpedition Aggressor Tactical Attache Bail Out Bag for 17" Laptop - MAXPEDITION HARD-USE GEAR Tactical Nylon Gear for Military, Law Enforcement, Tactical Concealed Carry; Tailored to Perform Tactical
but before I jump the gun I thought I would try to get some more advice. I am not really concerned about the price, but would like to keep it under $200
Now for the fun part This is everything that will be carried in my bag when I take it with me.

Dell XPS m1530 w/ Extended battery and Power brick
Cooling station
Razer Blue tooth mouse/ with pad.
External HD
Sound Blaster X-fi notebook card
Headphones
Barnes and noble Nook
Droid X
and all the misc cables to go with everything.

 

Heres my favorite bags. Threre 15 inch model would fit your laptop perfect.

 

Hey!

Between the 2, and staying within your budget, the Slappa Ballistic would probably be a very good fit for everything that you want to fit into a Messenger Bag (including your lappy)!

It has good reviews, appears to be roomy, and very durable!

When, I had my XPS 1530..I used a Mobile Edge messenger. That is a line you may want to consider taking a look at. I was able to "pack" a lot into it when "out and about". This is the one I have. I can still use it for my XPS 1647, but the fit is very "tight". I don't think this is the "look" you are looking for, lol. But it gives you an idea of what Mobile Edge bags are like & their builds differ per model, of course. : )

I have the SFBags Vertigo Mambo Combo and love it. Not sure it would fit everything you have, however.

 

Thanks for the info I looked at this one. Notebook / Laptop Messenger Bag | Mobile Edge but was not sure it would hold it all.

As for the SFbags I really like them, but I would need more room than they offer.

 

You said you needed something that would fit under your truck seat, heh. They are expensive but there arnt to many other brands out there that are like them. I like your other choices too. Im sure you will find something that will work for you.

 

NP!

And, that is a nice Messenger your linked. I found it a bit cheaper at amazon. And, the reviews are pretty decent on it.

amazon LINK It's $47.46 Shipped, color Black/Charcoal. Their are also the other color choices availi!

One review, in particular you should check as the person also owns a 1530: (review from 4/21/10)
