Post your laptop backpack and why you choose it.

I don't know how to edit the title to Laptop Backpack now

I tried typing this URL into the picture icon on this forum did not work.

I'd take a picture but this one is close enough.

I choose it because it was handed down to me. Too small for my laptop + fat textbooks so I"m looking for another black laptop that looks semi formal ish and won't look terrible with my button shirt and slacks.

 

I already did. Here the link:

The Timbuk 2s are quite stylish and formal if you chose the right one.

 

I'm running a Golla Generation Mobile messenger (although given its size it's borderline a postal bag). Chose it because it was really big so I can fit most of my supplies in there (managed to haul a 11x14 sketchbook, a few textbooks, a glue gun, a soldering iron and some basic woodworking tools in it) and somehow, despite its size and weight, it's not uncomfortable (probably due to the way it hangs, it's closer to a postal bag like I said). Oh and it was 20$ from the factory outlet

 

Recently picked up a Timbuk2 Q because my previous backpack ripped open (a cheap Eastsport given to me by someone else) and because it was free (Amazon credits and Discover cashback). Also, after reading reviews on that backpack and others, I chose it since it seems to be a rugged and reliable bag. So far it has held up amazingly and I expect it to last me for another two years or longer. I'm very rough on my bags; I make no attempt to baby my bags and if they don't stand up to my treatment, they're worthless to me. But so far, so good.



Previously (ignoring that Eastsport), I had a LL Bean Deluxe and that lasted me a few years under the same treatment. Didn't get another one since I was bored with the look and the price of free was too tempting to pass up.

 

These are my 2 go to bags - actually, the shoulder bag I've been using for about 2 years - everyday - I love it for my Asus G73. The trolley I just got about 2 weeks ago when they were on sale - it's great looking and lots of room, but I've only used it on one 2-day trip. I have liked everything I've bought from Slappa thus far. I was thinking about getting Timbuk2 messenger but have not yet made the move

 

I chose a 20 in molly pack. It's functional and has lots of storage.

 

I have some messenger bags (IKEA, old IBM, ...) and a hama backpack. I only use the backpack if i have to carry more. The messenger bags are just better for me, because i can always put things in or get them out if i want, even when i'm walking. BTW: IKEA makes pretty good bags.

 

Targus XL backpack (TXL617) for my Clevo P170EM - I needed a backpack big enough to accommodate the Clevo. It does the job, it's comfortable to wear.

Crumpler Skivvy (S) Beech for my Dell Inspiron 11 - nice shoulder bag, lightweight, with good padding. It's small yet it accommodates the laptop plus PSU, external HDD, mouse and a handful of A4 sized documents. Does the job well, looks good and is made of sturdy materials, plus it has a lifetime warranty.

Targus Demolition pack. Reason I bought it is I was having trouble finding a good pack for a gaming 17in laptop and honestly gambled on it being as there was only 1 review and not much else on the pack. The description on the Targus site and the quick review had me sold and Im glad I took the chance. I am able to safely and securely take both my 17in sager gaming notebook AND my dell precision m4600 AND all my IT gear with room to spare! The pack isnt bulging or flinching when fully loaded which is a huge plus for me as Im not a fan of having 2+ feet of backpack hanging out and I need somethign durable that will last.
