    So I just bought a Dell XPS Gen 2 Laptop, now i need a bag. I am thinking about getting the XPS 1 backpack:

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6750493867&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

    Now do any of you happen to have this bag? I know it is designed for the XPS Gen 1, which has a 15.4 inch screen.

    But will it safely hold my 17 inch XSP Gen 2?

    cheers Gargoyle,

    after reading the last post, i did some more searching and found this:

    http://notebookforums.com/archive/index.php/t-75077.html

    (appologies for posting a thread from another forum, but it does give the answer plain and clear)

    Looks like im going to have to splash out for an expensive bag, it looks like a Crumpler Team Player backpack is what im going to have to get.

    the one I got from dell when I placed my order for my 9300 is in the accessories section of where you do the options.
    It's under carrying cases.
    Large Backpack Carrying Case [add $39 or $2/month3]





    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Great for convenience and mobility and roomy enough for the Inspiron 9300

    H: 17.5" (44.45cm)
    W: 14.5" (36.83cm)
    D: 6.0" (15.24cm)
