    Anyone a recommendation for a top load backpack for a W520 with an extended battery?

    I'm somewhat concerned about the battery, since it sticks out beyond the back of the laptop.

    Suggestions, anyone?

    Great suggestion. Thanks! Is the padding inside the pack sufficient, or would you also recommend that I pick up a sleeve as well?

    I feel that it is sufficient. I'm not sure if the laptop would fit with a sleeve on, to be honest. The laptop slot is only 1.75" thick, the W520 is 1.42" thick, and with a sleeve it's probably thicker than 1.75".
