Other Accessories Purchased

I wanted to get some accessories for the notebook that would keep it in good shape and help it last a long time. Laptops don't ususlly last as long as desktop computers since they are bumped around more and can run hotter that a desktop.

I purchased a nice Case Logic 15.4" Laptop Shuttle Sleeve. My neighbor has a MacBook that has a cool sleeve and wanted something similar. This one is "Durable, weather–resistant neoprene cushions and protects your computer " and sounded perfect. It keeps the notebook seperate from any books or other stuff in your backpack, etc.

We also purchased a Titan Notebook Cooling Pad. This product is simple, and not very expensive. One of the 2 fan's lines up pretty well with the vents on the bottom of the Dell Latitude D820. Hopefuly this will keep the computer cooler and extend the lifespan of our notebook.

Lastly, I found a Timbuk2 Outtawack Day Pack on sale at REI. The notebook fit into it, so I got it for Lisa to use for taking her books to school on the bus or her bike. I don't know if she has used it yet to take the computer anywhere.
