    I'm looking for a laptop case that will fit the 17" A series. Aesthetically I like the Booq products but don't know if any of them will fit. Please post recommendations. Thanks.

    I'm using a targus notebook backpack that's made for 15" models bit the a290 just fits. And you can throw it on your shoulder which is a big plus given the 9lb weight.

    Ideally, it would be nice to have the 17" backpack, but hey, it works for now.

    I have this one; just barely fits:

    Works good for the compaq I bought it for originally.

    However, this would probably be a better choice for the 17":

    Targus has a special backpack for 17" SONY A-Series:

    But the best would be to use the Compatibility Chart:
