Title: Laptop Bag
Post by: theweakspot on October 02, 2005, 10:02:19 pm
I need a new laptop bag for my 15" AlBook.  I want something that where I can easily carry the book, charger and a few other goodies (firewire, CDs, digicam....).

Anyway, any of you guys own a pretty good messenger bag?  I'm a teacher so i will be using my book everyday and hauling it around often.  Something stylish but functional more than anything.

this is the one im leaning towards...

Screw those bags, get one from Brenthaven (www.brenthaven.com). The Fusion Flex is awesome.

cost was a factor to me, and i got a basic Kensington..(dont have model)
Plenty of room for everything, very well padded, and approx 40.00.

Not too fancy, not too plain..looks good. Very well padded.

The fusion flex (apple bag) from brenthaven looks nice.

Shade is somewhat right - i went for a bag that really dosn't look like your traditional laptop bag - not really a fan of saying "hey look, i've god a damn sexy laptop on my back"

Then again, saying "hey look its a god damn sexy bag attached to a god damn sexy bloke" is another matter ;)

but they are incredibly comfy bags, lots of space for laptop and accessories, and seriouse padding and protection :)

I got the Kensington Contour Pro 17" for my 17" PowerBook.  I use the inside sleeve made for the PowerBook for my Wacom Intuos3 Graphics Tablet, and then I got a beautiful Vyper 17" PowerBook Sleeve to house my PowerBook.

Kensington Contour Pro 17" Can be found here:

I got this one (http://www.targus.com/uk/product_details.asp?sku=TFS201) for my iBook. But I'm not really pleased with it cause there isn't much space to put anything big next to the iBook.

Lifetime warranty on it though...

ok, finally got arounf to buying something

http://www.stmbags.com.au/mediumloft

Its well built, roomy enough for my plan books and a text or two and holds all my accessories.  I had to get something, I had been using this basic black Brenthaven bag that I managed to get for free.  It's durable and tough, but I went to a big meeting today and there were at least 30 other people who had it.

I knew i had to get something else.

Diggin up an old thread so don't hurt me, I didn't want to make a new topic.


For college, is it better to just buy a sleeve and have a regular backpack or do I get one of the over the shoulder computer bag + room for notebook backpacks?

Get the Brenthaven bag, it's amazing.

I've had mine for 4 years now, and it's just like new.

Everything fits in it, including books, etc.

The Fusion Navy does look pretty cool, but is there enough room for books in that?

You could even fit  an illegal inmigrant from Tijuana....
