    Hi, I was looking into getting a 5793 but was wondering if it would be able to fit into the bag I use while biking. the bag is a chrome mini metro ( http://www.chromebags.com/products/bags/show/1/) I know this is somewhat of a stupid question, but it is a pretty big factor in my purchase decision (it's either this laptop or the Macbook Pro, although I would much prefer the graphic power of the Sager.)

    The Chrome Mini Metro is a messenger bag, and not recommended for notebooks.

    Look at their laptop bag section... which are bags that have proper padding for notebooks.

    I already have the bag though (I was planning to get a sleeve to put the laptop in before putting it in the bag) =/ I use it for other things besides a notebook, although fitting a notebook would be nice

    a padded sleeve would work as well.

    According to those measurements, that sleeve would be perfect (just measured my beast and it's almost exactly that... except slightly thinner at the front)
