Laptop Bags
My work recently issued us all laptops. They gave us bags as well. But my bag only fits the laptop and its accessories, nothing else. I don't want to schlep my laptop in one bag and my purse, lunch and a book in another bag. I'm looking for an all in one sort of bag.
A few of my coworkers have opted for the backpack model like this one. Probably the most back friendly but the least attractive option to me. I hated carrying a backpack in college and used shoulder bags and such instead.
I definitely prefer messenger bags. I feel safer with them. My current one looks similar to this one but is all black and not as cute.
I like this one although it looks like I should be headed to the Outback not to work. But it seems to have multiple pockets which might eliminate my other problems-where to store my book, my wallet and iPhone.

I use a backpack style one.
ReplyDeleteHumped a laptop right across Europe in one. Also in the work I do where petty theft can be a problem a backpack says "Valuable contents" a bit less.
I like the messenger style bag and totally agree with you that you don't want to carry more things than you need to!
ReplyDeleteI carry my laptop and various accessories in my purse. I have a huge messenger bag-type purse and I slip my laptop into a sleeve and then put it in there with all my other crap. :) On lighter days, I just carry my wallet and cell phone. It's a wristlet, so it works! A note though, sometimes messenger bags and huge purses hurt my back if they're filled to the brim with heavy stuff. But if you're going a short distance, maybe it would be worth it?
ReplyDeleteLOVE hhte last one. Makes me think...Crocodile Dundee...And that's not a bad thang!
ReplyDeleteI like the last one too!!!
ReplyDeletei prefer the messenger bag, a) you don't look like you're going backpacking or to school b) you don't have to take it off your shoulders whenever you want something.
ReplyDeletecan i ask how much your laptop weighs? if it's anything above 2.5kg then you probably shouldn't be carrying it around a lot, it should be pretty much stationary. if it is more than 2.5kg then the backpack might give more support.
Chris schleps a backpack, which I guess is fine for him, but I'm like you - if I had a laptop and other things for work I'd opt for a messenger bag too. We actually saw some really nice ones at Target over Christmas (in the luggage aisle). I kept pointing them out to Chris, but he doesn't like the strap going across his body.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably go with basic black, or a dark color, because knowing my luck I'd spill something on it!
Linda, messenger bags may look nice, but a laptop brief may look even better and hundred times more professional. A stylish and well-made laptop briefcase enables you to do so much more than a messenger bag. Briggs and Riley have an amazing collection of laptop briefcases for serious executives. The briefs come with multiple pockets for your files, flash drives, pens, cell phone, and other high-tech gadgets that we all know we can’t live without anymore. I have a laptop briefcase from Briggs and Riley, and can tell you from personal experience that absolutely fantastic. Give their collection a look and see which one suits your requirements.
