    I'm sure this may have been discussed in one of the giant threads, but I couldn't find anything searching.

    I do a lot of traveling, giving presentations using my laptop. I bought the XPS M1330 specifically for this purpose. It came with the nice little sleeve, but that doesn't look like it would hold the travel charger well. Has anyone found a nice compact case that would hold the laptop and travel charger and maybe a couple of other small things for plane trips?

    I was looking for that too in the beginning. However I decided to get a laptop backback instead. It makes carrying stuff much easier and more comfortable. Especially if you fly a lot. It's one less bag you need to carry separately. The backpack will allows you to pack more than just computer stuff. If you get a compact bag for your computer stuff it feels too heavy to hand carry after a few minutes.
    This is the backpack I got: http://www.ebags.com/samsonite/interchange_backpack_closeout/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=96837

    I'm really happy with it.

    Wow thats a tough one. I currently use a roots backback with a notebook sleeve though I will soon start looking for a carrying case. I personally tend to like gravis bags a fair bit but their style might not be for everyone. here is a link to some of their bags http://www.gravisfootwear.com/products/categories.aspx?categoryID=4812

    This is the one I am thinking of getting. http://www.gravisfootwear.com/products/product.aspx?productID=49088&shortMaterialNumber=G8698301&categoryID=4812&subcategoryID=4838

    Thanks for all the suggestions. BlackRussian, I couldn't find any of those part #s on Dell's site, maybe they're Canadian part #'s?

    I'm not sure about a backpack since it's more of a professional setting, but I won't rule them out just yet, I'm sure a backpack would be easier to carry through airports.

    I did find these from LowePro that I like:
