Help me find a bag for my Sager NP5791 (The STM Brink doesn't fit)

So maybe I am just an idiot and can't read/do math very well. I bought a laptop bag and my laptop didn't fit. I really did look at the numbers and it should fit. But here I am, laptop, no bag. So help me find a bag that doesn't suck. Here is the criteria:

1. The laptop will fit in the damned thing (STM Brink is too small)
2. No leather. This is not the 80's and i am not Bon Jovi.
3. No Backpacks. I don't like backpacks.
4. No briefcases. I don't like those either.
5. No crazy rolley wheels. I'm not 60 and my back doesn't hurt yet.
6. The smaller the better, i don't need a ton of space to store all kinds of crap, just a decent sized pouch will be enough. (need to store some random cables, a card reader, some cd's and maybe battery + ac adapter)
7. It can't be ugly. The STM Brink looked good online, but was sorta ugly when it arrived.

The STM site for more specifications: http://www.stmbags.com.au/large-brink-specifications.html#

So who has some suggestions?!

 

So basically you want a messenger style bag?
Have a look at the Links to Notebook Bag Makers, Dealers and Reviews topic if you haven't already. You can look around there and might find something you like.
I don't like or use messenger bags so I can't really recommend anything.

 

If you like briefcases, for a more professional look, you could try this:

I have one for my 9261 and it fits just fine.

Good Luck!

Tom Bihn makes good stuff.

 

The biggest problem I am finding is that not many of these bags will actually fit the sager 5790/5791..

 

do you have one? along with a 5791? i am trying to make sure i find something that i know will fit...

 

i guess i will have to add that to my criteria list. no briefcases. =) (updating now)

 

WaterField Designs will custom-fit a bag for your notebook - check them out:

That's some of the best quality money can buy.

 

+1 to the waterfield suggestion... I am addicted to their stuff.

BUT, check www.booqbags.com. They are top notch. Albeit pricey (that wasn't a criteria lol)

And of you need it cheap, the targus citygear Los Angeles was simply great. But I sold it to go backpack with my 5760. 15 lbs was too much for only one shoulder (and I am the 6' - 225lbs type of guy). The backpack feels so much better now (take a look at the BOA XXL - it might change what you think of backpacks because I was just like you when I bought my lappy -hated the backpack).

As for booq, check out the Folee and Folee 2 and you might be interested in the boa slimcase (I would damn be!).

 

i dig the booq PowerSleeve.

i think i will order later today. i need to call them first and check on their return policy, but the dimensions seem like they will fit.

 

Your link works no more (product not sold anymore?), but make sure it's a powersleeve XXL. I have it and it fits the 5760 nicely. All in all, I think the 5790 is thicker in the front, but the same in the back or a little thicker. Anyway this will be a tight fit.

I have a powersleeve at home in a brand new state. When I bought my bags I bought a system and included this sleeve. But I never used it because I like my backpack more.

If you're interested on paying a little less, I can sell it to you. I am tired of it no being used.

Oh, another comment: Don't plan on putting many accessories in the sleeve. The front compartment is very slim. If you want pics, I'll send them to you. PM me if you're interested.

 

whoah, it looks like they are no longer available on the site. i spoke with someone yesterday and they said they have a few more laying around, but not many. they definitely didn't mention they would be taking them off the site. bleh! i will respond to your pm.

 

Yeah I really believe they were replaced by the BOA slimcase . A shame because the sleeve was nice, though the slimcase looks quite nice also!
