    Default What's in your notebook case? (...or, "The accessory bragging thread.")

    I wondered what people typically tote around in their laptop case/bags. Obviously the application of the laptop will dictate extra, "non-laptop" accessories, but what else goes in there aside of your AC brick?

    I have an I9200 behemoth and I carry her in an aluminum briefcase. I'm not a student, and I work from home, so she doesn't get out as often as most, but when I do hit the road (about six trips a year) I take along:

    Mojo Mouse (PCMCIA slot BT collapsable mouse... a bit like a novelty, really, but it does work)
    Extra Battery
    Auto adapter for the brick
    8-10 DVD-RWs
    BT stereo/phone headset
    DSL line
    Ethernet line
    web cam

    It's a lot of crap, but the lines, head set. and web cam each fit into film roll containers. Everything fits neatly in the case, and I'm usually ready for anything.

    What cool extras do you have?

    I just carry around a mouse, headphones, AC adapter, and I've got a screw driver set in my bag.. A hacky sack, and a pen. Oh yeah, and my wireless internet modem.

    Books. 20-25lbs of books. When I finally get my D630, it will have 20-25 lbs of books and about 7 lbs of laptop with a mouse, number pad and charger.

    Targus XL backback contains the following.
    Notebook and powerbrick
    Logitech G5 Mouse and weights
    Spare battery
    Spire Pacific Breeze colling pad
    10' Cat6e cable (never know when you need one)

    Once I get my ThinkPad I'll be carrying around a lot less than I do now.

    I have a WaterField Designs SleeveCase for the ThinkPad with the Piggyback pouch and the suspension strap. I will carry the following with me . . .
    Laptop (X61 tablet)
    AC Adapter
    External 2.5" drive + USB cable
    USB flash drive
    Microsoft Wireless Laser Notebook Mouse 6000

    I'm sure there may be one or two things but I can't think of anything else right now.

    I have for some reason switched back to my old targus backpack which is falling appart. Not quite sure why I did that.

    Anyways I don't carry much with me and I carry no accessories for my notebook... all I carry are

    -My notebook
    -AC Adapter
    -Books
    -Papers
    -Clip board
    -Two college ruled notebooks (One for note taking, the other for jotting down random creative thoughs)
    -A few pencils and pens
    -Mini Stapler
    -A can of Soda

    I guess my flash drive counts as an accessory. That goes on my keychain with my car keys... and I store those in my backpack at times.

    Beat up Thinkpad T400 | Acer Iconia W510 | Samsung Focus Flash
    Penny'l start a fire.
