Hmm, I've never used one of the rolling cases before so I don't really know the quality of the lower end ones. It seems like something that could be hit or miss (the wheels could come off or the handle could break). Have you tried looking at consumer reviews on the sites you've been browsing? I know a lot of major retailers like Target and Walmart let users make comments about whether they liked the product or not.
As for putting this thread in the "general discussion" forum, I'm sure it's perfectly fine. Probably about 90% or more of my threads go in the "general" section. lol! No one really cares where it is. We aren't picky.

Thanks, Angie. I'll check epinions - I had forgotten about that. I'll let y'all know if I find something great!

Wish I could help, but I can't. We have two laptops here, but they are never taken anywhere. Good luck to you though...Angie gave some great advice.

Sorry, but I've never heard of a laptop carrier with wheels. Is it like a piece of luggage that you pull behind you? Good luck finding one!!!

Yes, it's a briefcase with wheels and a collapsible handle. Or a backpack. They have the extra padded section for a laptop. I found lots but the inexpensive ones, wheich would be fine for me, would not fit her style. Of course. Amazon carries quite a few. I kept checking with epinions for how they had really worked for folks. And I found the best deal on the one I was thinking of at newegg, a computer supply company. But it was still too far over my budget. So now I am thinking about a laptop mouse so she can turn off the touch pad - they never work well. It's not as good a gift for her but perhaps it will still show my gratitude. She is my student and has had so many hours this month the I can get the brakes done on the truck and buy groceries for 3 weeks!
