I think this goes with the electronics, but I am looking for a laptop bag, preferably 17" and widescreen

That would be really nice.

Any good deals or places I could find one (besides best buy).

It would be nice if it was NOT expensive.. like $60 or so...

Um, amazon, ebay, best buy are your three best bets... I'm sure you'll be able to find something if you're not too picky.

I'm not to picky. I will take just about anything that is not too expensive. Leather is preferred but not necessary.

This one looks like it will suite your needs:

When do you plan on buying it?

**sitedesigner** · 07-01-2006, 11:05 PM

I plan on buying it asap.

Excellent, I am glad that you think it is worthwhile enough to actually purchase. Will you be buying it online or do you plan on buying it at a store near you?

**sitedesigner** · 07-01-2006, 11:11 PM

Well ultimately, I am looking for the best possible price that I can find. Usually, this means that I can find a better deal online. However, if someone online finds a good coupon online that I could use in a local store, that would be amazing as well.

I have even thought about going to Good Will and trying to find a decent bag there. Just something that will protect my laptop from getting scratched up and such.

Those are all very good points. It will probably be very difficult to find a coupon for something in store. You are right online is much cheaper. As far as GoodWill goes, I highly doubt you will be able to find what you are looking for at GoodWill. Have you ever tried to look for something like this there in the past?

If you're not really set on price, check out BooqBags... they have some awesome laptop cases!

How about Targus bags? If I'm not mistaken, they come with lifetime warranty.

I have a small incase cover that I picked up at an Apple store for my laptop. It's not a laptop back - it just protects the laptop, and I use a standard rucksack to carry the laptop and everything else.

It also has the added bonus of not looking like I'm carrying a laptop, hopefully making me less of a target for criminals..

I ended up getting a targus bag for my 17" widescreen dell inspiron 9300 :-D

Fun stuff

I currently have two. One is a nice one that is leather and I bought used at a yard sale :P

The othe I bought on sale at Circuit city and its really tight around the laptop (perfect for putting in my backpack and stuff)

nvm.. disregard my comment

Good for you. I hope you will be as satisfied as me with my Targus..

I use an Eagle Creek bag for my Dell 9300 -- works out really nice and doesn't "look" so much like a laptop bag. You can wear it shoulder slung or as a backpack by unzipping it and taking out the backback straps. It also has a pretty heavy duty handle. The whole thing is pretty rugged. The 9300 is a snug fit but if you are careful you won't scratch it up with the zipper when closing it :-)
