Crumpler Bags for Dell Vostro 1500

mellortron · 08-21-2007, 05:42 PM

Hi,

I have been checking out some laptop bags recently for my impending Vostro 1500 which should arrive in a couple of days.

The crumpler ones are the best I have seen. I am not sure which one in particular, as I like so many of them and am open to getting either a Rucksack or a shoulder bag. The only problem is I need to know for sure that it will fit my laptop before I buy, and the online size descriptions are often quite confusing and vary from site to site!

I prefer the ones that come in black and silver colours, quite inoffensive but very stylish, I'm not a fan of the garish colours/patterns.

Can anyone point me in the direction of one that will definitely accommodate the Vostro 1500 as well as some university binders? Bear in mind that it is 15.4" therefore I cannot be sure the ranges that go up to 15" fit it.

Thanks!

I prefer the shoulderbag style. The swedish crumpler site (it's in english) is quite clear on sizes. Or at least it used to.

Better contact Crumpler.de in that case...

You need the bags designed for 17 inch laptops to hold the 1500. Keep in mind the added dimensions of the 9 cell battery if you get one.

Wow they have a much better color selection in Sweden!

Thanks for that.

I really liked the Sheep Scarer and the Glory Box ones, but I don't think either of those will fit it.

Are the rucksack ones really really big or are they about the same size as normal Eastpak/Jansport type bags?

I'm more used to carrying rucksacks than shoulder bags, but as I say, I'm not opposed to either! If the rucksacks are monstrous then I don't want one. I only have the 6 cell battery with my Vostro.

BigBadBenny, thanks for the PM, do you work for crumpler??!

Any idea what models will definitely fit my laptop bearing in mind my above requirements?
