Other than that, make sure you purchase a quality bag that is padded. I cracked my laptop screen about a year after I purchased it and Dell wanted about $800 to fix it.

I don't care about the weight. I don't fly that much. But I need something to take to client sites and to do demos. After rereading your memo perhaps I should have sprung the extra $49 for their complete care option.
