    Hi all,

    I'm currently in the military and tend to deploy alot. I want to take my 1520 with me but I'm having trouble finding a good bag for it. I'm needing something that is durable, has enough space to put the laptop (9cell), power adapter, external (small), mouse, and a few cds/dvds. It can't be too large though because I will have other things to carry (my packs). Any suggestions?

    I think you'd get some better answers in the Accesories forum. Bag talk and all of that is in there.

    I just bought the circuit pack http://www.ospreypacks.com/Packs/ReSourceSeries/
    because it isn't a recognized laptop backpack (less likely to be swiped), its made by an outdoor backpacking company, and is almost completely made of recycled material. I'm a teacher, and I find it carries my 1520, accessories, a 600 page hardcover and 7 smaller paperbacks well. I put the ac adapter, mice, and lock in the zip side pockets and still haven't used the front pocket yet. The sleeve is very well padded on both sides.
    Also, for a lock I got the Kensington DS. It completely bomber with braided steel cables over a steel cable core (so good luck using wire cutters.)
    PS- so far, only moosejaw.com has the ciruit since its brand new.
