    I was wondering if people with the Slappa Spyder or Matrix bag could take some photos of the inside of the bag. And then some photos with their laptop inside. I am interested in buying this bag for the 570TU but not sure how much space it will have to accommodate my other items.

    Laptop,NC2000,Mouse, Headphones, Some files, folders, notebooks, binders.

    Any pictures would be appreciated.

    If some of you guys have other bags and dont mind doing the same those would be appreciated to.

    In case you didn't know, the slappa has two versions.

    Version 1

    Look at the zippers.
    Material is also slightly different.

    DO you still have room in there to spare for other things?

    That list isn't mine. The user mentioned that it felt very full. But you do realize that he fit in a 17" laptop, a keyboard, and a substantial amount of things.

    Mine's the Version 2. I've fitted the FX in a Belkin sleeve into the Slappa's sleeve as well as with a number of books. I also know you can fit 2 FX's in there. The FX is basically the same size as the 5796, but slightly thicker if I remember correctly.

    Ah, that is good to hear. I was wondering if it isn't to much of a hassle could you take a pic with your FX inside the laptop compartment?

    You will notice that it's longer than the built in sleeve, but fits fine. Only issue is the top sides are exposed.

    Thanks for the pictures. Can you fit some other stuff where the Laptop compartment is? Say like the notebook cooler (Zalman NC-2000) or a mouse and mouse pad?

    I would say yes, but it might cause the back of the front compartment to bulge forward.

    Thats not to big of a issue. Is it comfortable, no strain on the shoulders?

    I find it very comfortable, but then again, I'm used to very heavy loads.

    Why not get an Alienware Deluxe?It's right size for 9262+NC 2000+Adapter+Mouse+Mouse pad+room to spare.It's not gigantic and was actually smaller than the one reviewd in here.

    Seems humongous. My friend actually bought one along with this m15x and it is huge.

    Yep, from what i read both of them are exactly the same except the design. What made me go with the Matrix was that there are older less sturdy and problematic versions of the Spyder out there, whereas the Matrix is completely new. I get paranoid and think that i might get that older version.

    Well, if you looked the pictures, you'll see the difference. My zippers are different from the Version 1's.

    I heard that the AW backpack seems very big, but does not have much of extra space to put in anything else, just the laptop and essentials.

    no thoughts on the targus xl at all? I think I'll probably get that.
