    Hey guys I need a carrying bag for my M15x... When ever it ships that is. Anyways I was looking at the spec's for this particular Oakley bag and I noticed the dimensions it supports are 15" x 12"... now I looked at the m15x's dimensions and it measures errr 14.8-15" by 12.2. Now will that extra .2 basically make this bag not worth buying? or does it have some flexability?

    I was looking at the Dells alienware bag.... But I want something that doesnt scream STEAL MY ALIENWARE.... :rolleyes:

    I am a student so I'd only assume I'd be carrying around my power adapter and maybe a few pieces of paper with it.

    Any suggestions?

    *Also i'm not into the leather stylings as some are.... Think skateboarder style and such".*

    Rep for helping! Thanks in advance guys!

    Probably. If you have the money, try the bag then you may sell it to somebody else or if the bag has a time to return with full money back.

    The bag doesn't look big neither, so I have a feeling that its probably smaller than M15x. Remember the material of those bags are usually thicker than backpacks and if its as thick as I think, M15x most likely will NOT in fit. It says 75USD for the bag, I believe that you can find something cheaper and less risky. I don't know anything about quality of Oakley bags so wait for somebody else' opinion too.

    Unless he doesn't start a trade here, "suggestions" for notebook parts(like accessories) are fine I think?

    I think it is like asking "should I buy an 5870 for my m15x?" lol

    I use a large Timbuk2 laptop messenger. I love Timbuk2, they make great stuff, and their bags hold pretty much everything you could possible stuff into them.
