    Looking to buy a backpack for my M1530 and I've been told that the Wenger Swissgear range are pretty good for the money.

    I've seen these two bags:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/35632...riton-Laptop-Back-Pack-15-4-Grey/Product.html

    Does anyone have either of those, or is anyone able to recommend me another bag at a similar price? Slightly lost because Wenger seem to have so many bags in the same price range, any help/advise would be appreciated :D

    I just bought a Swiss Gear Ibex for my M1530. Swiss gear makes a terrific bag. I like that there are a seemingly infinite number of small zippered pockets and pouches to stash your stuff. And they're very well made.

    I actually bought the Ibex, which is rated for a 17 inch notebook, though the bag itself isn't really any larger than the models rated for a 15.4 inch. What I did was take the sleeve that comes with the 1530 into Best Buy and slipped it into various backpacks...because I wanted a backpack big enough to accomodate the M1530 inside the sleeve. I found that the 15.4 inch Swiss Gear backpacks wouldn't take the full M1530 sleeve. They probably take a bare M1530 though.

    Anyway, a thumbs up for Swiss Gear.

    Are you after a backpack or messenger bag? Pakuma are pretty good and quite highly rated, I have the Choroka, or you could spend a bit more and go for a Crumpler. Have a look here http://www.laptopstuff.co.uk for a good selection.
