    Perhaps this is more of a question for the accessories forum, but it does pertain to the Sager 5760 in particular. I'm looking for a laptop bag for my 5760. Possibly the Targus TLE400. Will the 5760 fit into something like that? When Targus says "Fits up to 17" notebooks" does that mean a 17" can fit into it with some room to spare, or would it be a tight fit?

    it means it is designed to hold up to and including a 17 incher in the notebook compartment. if you put a 15.4 in there, there's probably some bumpers or padding you put in so it doesnt move around. ideally tho, you should get something the exact size of the notebook. 17 inch carrier for a 17 inch notebook, and 15.4 for a 15.4 inch notebook.

    Be careful when selecting a bag for the 5760 - the front of it extends beyond what the normal 17" notebook's dimensions are, so some 17" bags will not fit. I had the same issue with my laptop. The extended front caused issues when looking for a bag.

    i like the Kensington Contour Backpack for the 17" Sager (Clevo) notebooks. Kilim's 5760 review turned me on to that model.

    But its for those that are looking for a backpack notebook case. im going to stick my Sager 9750 (Clevo D900K) into and game on the go.

    The Targus Citygear LosAngeles is just perfect, with lots of room to spare :). It's a little "Sportier", but there is tons of pockets. Also look for the Miami.

    Like Chaz says, you need to be careful about the dimensions. With my last 17" laptop, I learned real quick that not every "17" laptop case/bag" is big enough for every 17" laptop.
