Just wondering what the PH folks use as laptop bags? I've had a McKlein Halsted for about 3 years now, and the bloody thing is still lovely. Can fit my 2 13"macbooks, my ipad, and my new air in the bloody thing, and still have a shedload of room left over for all the ancillaries, passports, wallets, phones, ipods, etc, and other assorted crap when I go traveling.





Just wondering what you guys all use?

Oh, and Macy's are selling them half price ($99)for the something or other holiday at the moment. Nice cheap leather bag that has done me great service.

I use a North Face Laptop/Messenger bag usually.



Not sure I'd describe myself as a gentleman though. I'm more utility than style hehe

I uses a sleeve rather than a bag, as i just need it to protect the laptop, which is normally carried in another bag.
Just got this for my MBP, and am very impressed with the quality!

Aaah... So what is the bag you use. I have a sleeve for the air. It's a basic suede sleeve that retains the size of the air, but protects from scratches, etc.

Ah, very swish. I had an old pelican case I snaffled from work many, many moons ago, and it gave me great service. You looked like a tt carrying it though.

I bought my soft satchel type bag from the Apple Store.
I know they can be expensive, but they tend to have a nice selection of 'decent' lap top bags.

I use a Jeep backpack. This one: http://www.londonluggage.co.uk/Product.aspx?Catego...

It's actually cheaper now than when I bought it. It only just fits my brick Toshiba laptop, but all the extra pockets and slots means it holds everything I need. If I have a clear out I can just about get away with using it for an overnight bag aswell.

I use a Pininfarina marketed job. Takes iPad, laptop, headphones, books, all leads and 1000 Bensons in a multipack box shortly before boarding. Very well made.
