    Hey guys, I recently purchased an M17X and was wondering what type/brand of messenger bag/back pack/brief case you use to transport your computer around?

    Thanks!

    Check the m17x bag thread. There are a lot of suggestion for the bags.

    I use a briefcase bag by McLean from ebags.com. I got it for my XPS 1730. Now my 17x. I added some extra foam for some added protection. It carries quite a bit of stuff.

    Mobile Edge Alienware Orion Backpack! Im able to put my M17x and its adapter, my Shure SRH440 and its bag, my Logitech VX Nano, a couple of papers. The front has thick leather cover and in the bottom of the backpack I put some thick paper they use when boxing stuff. I feel a lot safer that way.

    I use the Alienware Odyssey Messenger Bag and it fits my M17x, my power brick and cord along with my mouse, mousepad, external drive, thumb-drives, glasses, multiple DvDs, earbud-headphones and two of my University school books. Plus it looks cool :cool:

    I do lots of presentations (sometimes quite a bit of walking), and so far Alienware Orion Backpack works great - very good weight distribution, a lot of space for additional paperwork, adapters etc.
    Highly recommend.
    Only 80 CAD+free shipping (Dell Canada)

    IMHO, when considering a bag, think how far you might need to carry it by feet. I had many shoulder bags and briefcases while working as a field(outsourcing) tech in my younger days but eventually switched to backpacks ONLY. You will feel it in your lower back and shoulders if you don't find an orthopedic backpack. :cool:

    Alkimox, its sooo true. For something like a MacBook 13" messenger bag is a good option since its kinda more stylish than a backpack. But for a heavy baby like an M15x or M17x backpack is a must if you wanna walk around with your lappy. I used to use a messenger bag and carrying some heavy textbook alone, not laptop, makes my shoulder killing me. Now I can run around with my lappy and lots of other stuff and never feel hurt anymore thank to the Alienware Orion.
