Backpack for 8204

Hi

As a (proud) new member of the TM 8204 club, I am looking into buying a backpack to carry it about in.

Does anyone have any recommendations (I have found the dimensions on various sellers' websites to be a little changeable - i.e. the same model is quoted as having several different dimensions depending on the shop!).

What do you use?

I kind of like the look of some of the Targus sport backpacks, but the internal dimensions quoted always look a bit close for comfort - usually 36cm - when that dimension is slightly over this on the 8204, and I don't want to buy one designed for a 17" laptop).

One I was looking at:

Thanks

Duncan

I would try some from Samsonite. I have very good experience with several bagpacks, plus they do not show too too obviously, that you are having a laptop inside, which might be another safety plus! Also very protecting and with lifetime guarantee. That might be something you would want to invest to.


cheers

I have the crazy looking motorcycle bag from Osiris which has a hard shell. Got it while working at the summer X games for free. Fits a ton of stuff, and when I had my big sager, it fit that too and I was able to bring it on the plane no problem.

Unfortunately I just spent 20 minutes trying to find a link for you. I'll look around.

Hi

Thanks for these links. I notice a lot of the specs for these
bags say 'suite most 15/15.4"' laptops. Anyone know whether the 8204 would fit these comfortably or whether its dimensions are slightly on the large side?

Thanks again

Duncan

I have the Wenger Patriot wheeled bag, which includes a smaller notebook case (which also lists as suited for 15/15.5" notebooks) and my 8204 fits perfectly. Snug, but not _too_ snug.
