If you would have posted another LV, I would have asked you to buy the laptop. BUT you posted the Lockit and I would have to say "GO FOR THE LOCKIT". I just adore this bag.
i would go for a macbook instead of the dell,
i have a dell right now and dell comps dont have a long lifespan =[
they crap out after 2-3 years!
i have a macbook pro and its awesome.. get the mac macbook air..
I'm trying to stay around the $1K mark (tax refund y'know.. ) so unfortunately the Macbook is out. It IS cool though..
