Ok.. a not so useless post from me. Friends and I did indeed buy the el-cheapo laptop bags (and can I just say that for $65, that is NOT an el-cheapo price!) and the handles (the bit that holds it onto your shoulder) fell off! (and this was after a couple of weeks, so just when you had started to trust it!)
So, check all the seams. While it may be less important for your kid's books to spill, I personally was not so happy when my laptop took a tumble (and just before the cynical people say anything, it happened to two identical bags of the same make/model) (and also just before anyone asks... I don't think it actually had a brand, it was quite generic) Viv -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Harvey Kane Sent: 18 February 2009 6:45 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [phpug] Re: Laptop backpacks in Auckland CBD I have just been through a super-frustrating process trying to find a backpack for my 18" HP Laptop to take overseas. I was about to give up and buy an uber-expensive 'normal' laptop bag from DSE that I didn't really want, then my wife convinced me to try The Warehouse. I humoured her, but didn't really expect them to have anything. They have a huge range of backpacks with laptop slots in them - as someone else mentioned, most of the schoolbags have laptop compartments. I found one that will fit the laptop for only $65 (requires small mods though). If the laptop was 15" or 17" instead of 18", then there is heaps to choose from at the red shed. Definitely worth a look. Harvey. Vivian Chandra wrote: > > I currently have a HP one, and it's awesome.
