    I've got a new Studio XPS 16 arriving in the next 10 days - 2.8GHz T9600 CPU, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 1080p RGBLED, Blu-ray, 5300 WiFi, TV Tuner, 6-cell battery plus spare 9-cell battery, 4 years warranty + accidental damage. I'm going to be carrying this around most days, so need a decent backpack.

    My old machine was an M70 Precision, similar weight but different dimensions. My old laptop only just fit into my old backpack (STM Eclipse), but the XPS16 is an inch longer, so it's not going to fit.

    Looking for something that the XPS16 fits nice & snug in the laptop compartment. I'd also like a second compartment atleast as big as the laptop compartment, plus a smaller third on for stuff like pens, headphones, ipod, blackberry, etc. It also needs to be tough, comfortable and have plenty of protective padding for the laptop since it's going to get used every day for the next few years.

    Any recommendations? If it's something you know is easy available in the UK even better.

    Cheers,
    Phil.
