    Anyone recommend a good Backpack to fit 17" with 9 cell. I like the Swiss gear ones but have a feeling the laptop sleeve inside will struggle to fit it especially with the 9 cell battery sticking out....any ideas?

    This is the one I am close to buying,very similar just less pockets. I only really need it for my flights back and forth between UK and Peru every few months obviously if i wanted to travel more i would not have bought the XPS 17. Looks good for flight documents and passports and I am guessing it will fit nicely even with the 9 cell battery. Targus XL Laptop Backpack - Black/Blue: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

    Personally Swissgear are my favs, you can find out the exact dimensions of the inner sleeve. Just call them up if you cant find that info on thier website. Then measure you're laptop. Ive always thought swissgear made the highest quality backpacks.

    Swissgear would definitely be my choice but I can't afford for it to turn up and be the wrong size as I am only back in the UK for 2 weeks and being Chrstmas no chance to return it and get another on time. Also don't fancy the price of phonencalls from where I am now but they do look great.
