    Folks,

    My Daughters M1530 arrives on Monday.

    We were looking for a nice lightweight and stylish bag for her and really struggled.

    Any suggestions where to find some on the web ?

    Cheers

    My mom uses a designer looking bag for her laptop. I dont know the exact brand, but it looks something like this http://www.trendyoutfitters.com/index.php?productID=270

    Its more of a purse/handbag look than a laptop bag in my opinion.

    Just google "designer laptop bag" and you should get some results.

    That's a tough one. Womens (and by 'womens' I mostly just mean 'elegant') notebook bags and satchels go for a small fortune. Like some kind of fine couture. It's nuts.

    My advice would be to get a good 15.4" notebook sleeve instead. This way the notebook could be carried securely in any of the larger bags or regular backpacks/satchels she already owns and likes.

    It stands to reason that she's going to want to co-ordinate the bag with the rest of her wardrobe anyway. :rolleyes: So getting a sleeve that can be put into something else (or carried seperately) seems to me the best route to take to a) secure the investment and to b) give her versatility in transporting her new toy around. :)

    The other benefit is that a notebook sleeve in a regular bag doesn't advertise itself to theives quite so readily as one marked 'Belkin Notebook Bag' or similar.

    Hi, I just saw your thread..I also have an XPX 1530 (in Crimson Red), and finally found a Messenger Bag that I really like that is fashionable, girly and you may want to check out. I just posted a thread in the Accessory section under Maddie Powers if you want to check it out.

    Here is a picture of the bag: w/the 1530
