Width of the E1705

[Taskism]

I know if you measure the screen diagnally, its 17 inches, but what is the actual measurements for length and width on them? Theres a backpack I want, but its 16" wide.

From Dell's website....

"The Inspiron E1705 takes the latest high-performance technology and packs it into a mobile design that starts at just 7.61 pounds. At 15.5 inches wide, 11.3 inches deep and 1.6 inches thick, it pushes the limits of power versus mobility, with a sleek but durable design that's ready to go where you go."

If it's the Ogio Bounty Hunter backpack from http://www.ogio.com, get it. Get it bloody NOW. It fit's my M1710 like a glove. Best laptop backpack EVER.

Sounds like you're happy with my recommendation

as an owner the Bounty Hunter's older brother (the Metro, which only holds a 15.4")...definitely go for a Bounty Hunter.

I personally use a Metro for school, and a Metroid for holding my E1705 (in an Ogio Brain Bucket) and the T43 in the laptop slip area.

Happy doesn't even begin. I spent $80 on a targus that was 2-3" too big on each side, and when I rode my bike, I could feel the lappy shifting around. The back padding and the fit are 99% perfect, the only issue I have it that the strap covers part of the opening on the laptop pocket, so you have to fuss with it a bit to get it in and out...but the long side pocket holds my 130w PSU like it was built for it, and the other side pockets are perfect for my digi camera and my copperhead. Top that off with enough cavernous storage pace in the center for two books and a binder...well I live three miles from campus. I like not having to go home to reload my books.
