17" Widescreen Laptop Bag ???

Sharkx · 10th October 2005, 8:17 PM

I just bought my first laptop, Toshiba Satellite M60. When I got it they threw in a bag, it doesn't exactly fit, funnily enough there are not a lot of 17" Widescreen laptop bags. What bags have others bought to fit a 17" Widescreen?

I've got the original Dell laptop bag for my 9300. Works a treat and is fairly well built.

I to got a dell bag with my 17" but mine was the nylon case one not the backpack. Maybe you could get one of the dell bags.

Ill second the vote for the dell back pack. i've got my 9300 in it, and use it every day for work. I carry my laptop, cables, charger, PDA, GPSr, batteries, camera, and papers, and there is still tonnes of room left in it.

The only thing is that the pockets arent quite deep enough to fit my Canon S2 IS in it properly.

Apart from that all good, especially for free

A workmate bought one from Harris Technologies about 5 - 6 months ago. I'm pretty sure it was a Targus, and it was between $90 and $100. I'll see if I can get the model name for it.

EDIT: It was the XL Notebook Backpack - http://www.targus.com/AU/product_details.asp?sku=TXL617

Agreed

I also love my Dell back pack (the backpack + bluetooth + XP Pro cost me all of $50

)

another vote for the dell laptop bag.
i like that it has solid stiff sides that protect the laptop.
and with plenty of pockets to carry the extras

Personally I much prefer crumpler or lowepro bags to targus, though my focus is more on carrying camera gear and a laptop than on just a laptop. YMMV

Crumpler are quite good and survive alot of wear and tear. I used to go break bags every 6 months or so and my crumpler still looks good after 2 years.

Its an expensive backpack, but one of the best availiable.
