    Anyone have good suggestions on a Notebook backpack that will fit this notebook?

    I hope it is ok to link.
    I am looking at
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...t_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=AN8LN2YPKS7DF&v=glance

    I know the sizes are
    Width: 15.98"
    Depth: 12.65"
    Height: 2.02" -2.11" (Front -Back)

    I see that people have been able to fit in comparable notebooks but all are a little smaller than this beast.

    I am just hesitant to order a backpack as I only have so many days to return with no fee and I am not 100% sure when the m17x will ship out. It would suck if it didnt fit.

    I would really like to have a bag ready to go when I receive this new notebook.

    I have to have a backpack as I ride a motorcycle most of the time and can't use a traditional bag.

    Any suggestions are welcomed.

    I have been using this one for 2 going on three years now and love it.

    I just know it will not fit a 17 inch notebook. It will not hold the e1705.

    I would wait until they start releasing the accessories for this system. It will be interesting to see what the bag looks like.

    That is true. It will prolly look awesome. I personally would rather have a reg looking backpack than an alienware branded one. Just when traveling I dont have to worry as much with someone seeing alienware and wanting to jack it as much as a typical backpack.. I like it being inconspicuous

    Hmm. I'd just stick with the AW bag. Although I agree, whatever it looks like, it will scream out 'EXPENSIVE LAPTOP INSIDE' to anyone who looks at it.
