    hey everyone, i will be getting a dell notebook, more than likely the inspiron 600m. i am looking all over the internet for a cute bag to transport it in. i don't like the basic blacks and blues. i'm looking for something colorful and maybe a design. also i am looking for messenger bag type style, not like a backpack. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    i was also wondering if a regular messenger bag would be safe to carry it around in?

    I personally like Crumpler bags.

    http://www.crumplerbags.com/home.php

    The site is a bit hard to navigate though. Head over to ebags.com also and take a look. I have a Crumpler bag for my digital camera and I really like it. They are really tough and well made, but expensive.

    Messenger bags are fine as long as you're not the type that runs into stuff i.e., the bag swings around and hits a corner or a wall. If that's the case you might want to look into a ballistic sleeve.
