    Are you going to buy, Your Brick its own handbag? :nah: No Just buy a golf cart for it.

    You know for all that the M6500 has in it, you need that power, alternatively the M6500
    Would be under powered, and your System would be somewhat slow and sluggish.

    not sure. Would depend on your video card and cpu. 8 virtual cores of hyperthreading on the cpu might be faster than a slower gpu.

    Am I crazy to think after spending $600 or more on a GPU for Nvidia to supply this in their drivers would be appropriate?

    Why should you have to pay for a plug in from Nvidia to speed up the use of your GPU render times?

    The only bag that fit my W700 in was a Tumi Flap Brief the M6500 will fit in just right.
    And I will have to use the W700 for a doorstop.

    Speaking of bags, I have the TUMI 96103.

    TUMI is top quality so if someone is looking for a very nice bag I highly recommend these.

    Here's the link to the one I have.

    http://www.tumi.com/alpha/wheeled-deluxe-expandable-leather-brief-with-computer-case/

    It is big but I don't travel lite. This one fits both my MBP17 and my e1705 at the same time (and the e1705 has larger dimensions than the M6500). They also have some nice organizing bags for chargers, cables and other accessories. I didn't see the accessory bags online but if you have a local TUMI store you should check them out.

    How are you going to put in a 17" laptop when the laptop compartment is this:

    Laptop Compartment Dimensions:
    10.5" x 14.5" x 1.75" (HxWxD)

    By the way, nice bag but cant really pay alomost $900 for a bag lol.

    I edited my post above. The bag easily fits my DELL E1705

    15.5" x 11.3" x 1.6" (which is bigger than the M6500)

    Plus my Macbook Pro 17"... Plus an HP 15" laptop. all at the same time!

    I was surpised too when I test fitted it at the store. it's not a tight fit.. just right. I've seen a few bags like that where they advertise that it fits only a 15" laptop but my 17" laptops fit perfect.

    yeah they are not cheap. But neither is the laptop :D

    They are costly, the bag even has a tracking Number, and they are a top quality bag.
    My Tumi was discounted, like most of the Tumi bags they only make so many
    to keep the cost up, and my 17" W700 fits, and so will the M6500.

    They are an excellent choice for business, which is the first thing people see.
    The M6500 is a business class Workstation, and it deserves all of your respect.

    And yes!! The M6500 deserves to be held nice and tight in a TUMI. When you slide your M6500
    Inside of a TUMI you will know what I mean.

    And when you link to the site, you go to the homepage. They what you to look at all of their bags
