    Hi,
    I ordered an m15x a few weeks ago, and will be in the market for a laptop sleeve and a backpack to fit the new laptop... What do you all use?
    Thanks in advance...

    if you do get the north face surge, dont bother using the dedicated laptop panel since you cant even shove the m15x into it(trust me i tried for around 20 min to see how i can fit it into the laptop compartment >>). the m15x will fit into the main compartment. then there is a second compartment i like to use for smart bay, power, and anything else i need. if you need textbooks for college i would put that into the dedicated laptop panel. there is also a compartment on the bottom for you to put your laptop lock in. there is alot of room in the surge.

    I use the Alienware Backpack and it fits perfectly!

    Only compaint I have is that the shoulder paddings or whatever the paddings on the straps are called could be better. I not only carry the laptop but also several books every day in it so it gets quite heavy and I'm used to a better padded bag. The zips also have a slightly tacky noise and once again, they're not best quality and are prone to breaking (in my opinion).

    But it has lots of pockets where you can put iPod, cables, CDs, mouse, SB, etc. and the bag looks great as well :).
