look at the Crumpler range of bags, well designed, ultra comfy. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Weeden Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 6:12 AM To: hwg Subject: [H] Laptop bag recommendations
I'm looking for a new laptop bag that would also serve duty as my airplane carry-on. I have a Targus CityGear Los Angeles <http://www.amazon.com/Targus-TCG417-CityGear-Angeles-Notebook/dp/B00024ENES /ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1227448989&sr=1-5>that I both like and dislike. I love the way it is organized and the durability of the workmanship. I dislike the size (it's too big) and the gaudy yellow logos and handle pulls which really stand out in a business setting. So I'm on a hunt for the perfect replacement (if that's possible). Here's my wishlist: 1) Needs to be professional enough to wear with a suit (so no pink or flashing lights) but I don't want some Gucci thing that just looks ostentatious 2) Compact size but still big enough to hold all the stuff I need: - laptop (which will soon by a Lenovo X200 Tablet) along with charger and accessories - notebad and a few pens/markers and laser pointer - occasional book - headphones, glasses case and the cords and other odds and ends I need. The Targus came with a very good mesh bag that was perfectly make for storing cords/cables (long/thin made from mesh with a zipper and detachable from bag with velcro). 3) Preferably messenger style, but anything with a comfy shoulder strap is fine. 4) Durable enough for every day use and lots of travel (I average one trip a month overseas). Suggestions? Is my desire for an everyday bag/carry on and something that could be taken to a business meeting not doable? -------- Brian
