    The easiest way I've found to find the bag that is right for you is to head over to circuit city or best buy if possible and have them to put a similar notebook into different bags to see which one suits you best while offering the best protection and storage for your laptop.

    I use the Timbuk2 bags for all of my rigs. The following link shows the one, which I use for my Apple 17" G4 and my Dell I8600. I use the smaller one for my 14" rigs. They protect my rigs very well and afford lots of storge space for accessories, dics, paperwork, etc.

    Yeah, that may or may not be a problem, you'd have to contact them. Crumpler also makes a backpack for 17" displays, it's called the Team Player.

    camel 456,

    If you have spotted a bag, which you like and it is not available locally to you . . . Might I suggest you search ebay UK, if you have not already done so.
