I've just purchased the Acer Aspire 2000 for various reasons, basically because it was the lowest priced machine for all of the features that I wanted. Centrino 1.6/good battery life, DVD burner, widescreen, reasonable weight, etc. But there's one problem - it doesn't seem that there are that many cases out there for a laptop of this size.
The dimensions are 14.2" wide, 10.7" deep, and 1.3" in height. Either cases are too wide, not wide enough, etc. Plus, the laptop is very thin (1.3"), and a lot of cases have 2" - 3" interiors, so I'm worried that it might flop around a bit. Other than CompUSA, I have no place to look at cases, so no chance to try before I buy.
I am looking for a shoulder bag - similar to the classic black Targus design with compartments for A/C adaptors, papers, and so on. (The Targus bags seem to be too small or too big). I really liked the Tumi messenger bag design, but it doesn't zip closed on the top - only has a flap. I can spend $200, and would be interested in hearing what other people with similar-sized laptops use.
