What laptop bag?

Can anyone here reccomend a good quality laptop bag for around the £25 mark?

Must be able to house the Dell Inspiron 1300 and have good protection from shocks etc, as its not going to be carried in the best of areas :).

Saw the £25 Antler in PC World, looks like a good bag, anyone able to comment on it? Anyone own the £25 Targus that Tesco are currently selling and can comment on its quality?

Any reccomendations would be much appreciated.


Many thanks :)

    Well I bought the real cheapo one for £17:99 two years ago made by Antler
    and not one hole or zip problems and plenty of protection and storage so I am very very very happy with my bag...

    Great. I got it for my Inspiron 1300 too. :)

    Much better than some of the nylon/man made cases you see sometimes. Plenty of pockets for bits too. Good quality zips, good leather. Pleased with mine. Well worth the money.

    Thanks, I think I'll reserve one after I order the 1300.

    Going for the £299 configuration with the 6 cell battery I think, DVDRW isnt needed at all because I have a Pioneer 110D in my desktop and wifi can be added cheaply later :)

    does anyone know a decent bag/case that's minimal in size, but still protective. I want to protect the laptop, but carry it round in a rucksack/holdall.... I know you can get combined laptop rucksacks, but I already got myself a decent camera rucksack so don't want one of those!

    I got the dell inspiron 1300 (with screen upgrade to 15-something)

    The pc world laptop bag for £24.99 is worth 100% the money.
