    My Studio XPS 1647 will be arriving shortly and today I purchased some nice welcome home gifts for him when he arrives. But I would like to purchase some more sensable things if someone has good recommendations. I would like a good recommendation on a good Laptop sleeve. So please help!


    So far for this:

    Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse (Alpine White)(I wanted the Logitech M555B but I am a sucker for color/design schemes:

    Make sure to get him some nice blank DVDs so he can spit out recovery disks. Also make sure to get him some cables so he can play tug-o-war with your tv or monitor friends.

    Make sure to give him nice air baths once in a while. He hates water. He doesn't know how to swim.

    Most importantly, he really doesn't need anything else other than your love and care. :)

    Have a browse on focalprice.com, meritline.com, and thinkgeek.com. There's a ton of random/miscellaneous computer accessories you can get there.

    Have you run with one? I've been all-SSD for notebooks and most desktops I sit in front of for about a year and a half. I've been dealing with my as-delivered X201T's until the SSD's for them turns up - and it is a truly painful experience.

    I always recomend getting Lo-Jack... I'm just very cautious and if my laptop is ever stolen, I want to be able to find it ASAP
