    Hi,

    When I was buying my laptop I consulted this forum with great results and response. Right now I have to buy some case for my bussiness laptop. I was doing some researches but honestly there are so many cases/bags that I'm really confused. So maybe someone at this forum could help me. In general that what I'm looking for:

    1/ Wheeled case
    2/ Size that will meet carry-on luggage airline requirements
    3/ Big enough to accommodate not only my laptop (dell latitude d620) but also a portable printer (canon ip90) and some basic accessories (power supply, mouse, portable hdd, mp3 player, cell phone, some cd's etc.) But I don't need the overnighter. I always travel for a few weeks at least.
    4/ Pretty durable as I'm flying/traveling pretty much.
    5/ Reasonable priced - it's for my company stuff so I don't want to spend to much. Up to $150 I think.

    I've found something that looked perfect (Samsonite pro-DLX wheeled) but it costs $300 - a way to much. Right now I'm thinking pretty seriously about Kensington Countour but I'm open to any suggestions.

    Thanks for help!

    you could always buy the case/backpack and buy a collapsible dolly. i have one that was 30 bucks at sears. it collapses to about 2 inches thick and about 15x12 inches length and width.

    I have an old laptop bag from the mid 90's, and it had a lot of room. I have tried to find similar ones at a lot of stores, but I just can't find that quality any more.
