Logitech, for many years, has created top quality mice among other things. Currently their best portable notebook mouse is the v450, which only recently came out. Having used the ever-reliable v200 for quite some time now, I decided to try out the new v450. This article is a comparison review of these two notebook mouse devices from Logitec.
My choice for a new bag came down first to a messenger bag. I was tired of all the backpacks I've owned and just wanted a change. I was then led to several different companies including Timbuk2, Crumpler, SF bags and Tom Bihn. They all offer high quality, waterproof, lifetime warranty messenger bags, but I liked the extra features the Chrome bags had to offer. So here's a review of my final bag selection, the Chrome Metropolis Messenger Bag.

Mandarina Duck is a manufacturer of fine bags and luggage. They carry a "Work Bag" line, which includes briefcases, messenger bags and backpacks for notebooks. The Work Bag Briefcase for 15.4" notebooks is a very sturdy bag with a beautiful, minimalist design, and matches very well with both formal and casual wear.
The Targus Gerney backpack is a light-weight, attractive alternative to the messenger bag style notebook case. For those that are looking for an alternative to the messenger bags for one reason or another (for me it would be to keep from exacerbating my back pain by having even weight distribution on both sides of my body), the Gerney is just one of several well-priced ($39.99) backpack options offered by Targus.
Following is a review of the rugged Osprey Focus backpack that includes a laptop sleeve for toting your notebook around. Durability, protection and unique features set this bag apart.
So you're in the market for a laptop bag that can fit your 15.4" screen machine, but you don't want a messenger bag, or something as large as a suitcase, but something that you can carry around fairly easily. Basically, you're in the market for a book bag style laptop bag. If you're looking for a book bag that has style, qualities, and a lot of features, then look no further than the Targus Feren backpack.
The Targus Rogue Backpack is a lightweight pack designed to hold notebooks up to 15.4". It comes in a black/charcoal color combination with red accents, and has seven pockets and compartments. At only $39.99, the Targus Rogue is in the price range for college students or anyone else looking for a durable notebook backpack at a great price.
If you're looking for some extra external storage for your notebook you could go out and buy a ready made USB or FireWire external 100GB hard drive for around $200, or you could more cheaply and quite easily make your own portable external hard drive by buying an enclosure and "naked" hard drive and slapping them together for around $100. Furthermore, instead of chucking away that old 40GB notebook hard drive you just upgraded you can read this guide and see how to easily use it as an external hard drive for data backup.
