Review: Mobile Edge Notebook Bags

For about 6 years now I've used Mobile Edge bags, and for the most part I've been extremely happy.  These bags are rugged, durable, and do a great job of protecting your gear from damage.  (They're quite water resistant as well, I know this because I had a bottle of water in a side pocket and it leaked, luckily my electronics were kept safe because it did not seep through as I had feared).

my one instance where I was not happy was an Alienware branded bag made by mobile edge that I purchased (I was in desperate need of a bag and it was the only one by mobile edge that was both available at the time, and fit my DV9700 17 inch notebook)  I found it to be rather lacking in storage space.

I currently use the Mobile Edge MEV17P 17" bag (it happen to fit my 18.4" HDX 18T quite nicely), and love it. It has enough pockets and side spots to store a lot of my electronics gear and books as well.  Here's a look:





Whether you do a lot of traveling and need a checkpoint friendly bag or you're a fashionista and are tired of the typical offerings that most notebook bag manufacturers have available, Mobile Edge more than likely has a bag that will fit your style and your needs.

Are you an Environmentalist? No problem, they have a line of bags and backpacks or you as well.


 Just do yourself a favor and stay away from the Alienware branded bags as mine was rather limited in storage space, though it too has held up quite nicely.  Oh, and did I mention they offer a lifetime warranty?

Dell is no longer offering Recovery DVDs?

Quite simply, this is not true.  Dell is still offering recovery DVDs/CDs, but you have to request them now.  If you are buying a new Dell this holiday season and want those backup disks, you can trot on over here and fill out the request form to get your disks.  It usually takes between three and ten days, depending on who you ask, where you live, and what time of year it is.

You can also make your own backup disks as well, but why bother when you can spend two minutes filling out the form to get yours?
