What kinda carrying case are you guys using? Backpack or Briefcase style.

Just wondering what to put my new guy in.

Thanks

I prefer the messenger/laptop bags. They are stylish and easily portable.

I put my laptop in a Jansport Protective Sleeve, which is then carried in my backpack along w/ my other stuff.

Never cared for all the fancy gadgets lots of laptop backpacks seem to have and too expensive also. Didn't want a steal me bag either.

I have a Swiss Army Webpak. It converts between a brief, messenger, and backpack. Quite neat actually.

 

[Kelvrick]

I use a laptop bag/breifcase style.

I've put it into my backpack though.

EDIT: Just gotta be careful and place some books around it for padding.

 

[Spoooon]

This is what I use.

I have heard these are pretty swank http://www.booqbags.com/

I balance it on my head....
Targus Notepac Plus does just fine for me.

Here's what i use.. From Ebags
You can probably find a $10.00 off coupon somewhere.. I paid $24.98 total w/shipping and i love it.

It kinda looks snazzy if you ask me.. and its functional..

Enough space for an Inspiron 8500/8600 and more than enough room for a surge protector, ac cord, and folders
Here's my set-up.

No wireless yet..soon though

inbetween some books in my messengerbag... or just a plain ol jansport backpack.

Same here. Very portable, but my bag isn't that stylish.

thanks alot for all your submission! .. i still havent decided yet! so many options, theres a really nice kenneth cole reaction messenger bag /w laptop compartment at loehmanns for like $40 im considering.

I just use a $40 LLBean messenger bag... nothing special, no padding or anything, i suppose its not the best idea but it works nicely and best of all no one suspects theres a laptop in it when i walk around campus or set it down somewhere

 

[KarenMarie]

this is what I carry my laptop in!

 

[Spikey217]

I use one of these.

If I need to carry more than my laptop, I just take the shoulder strap off and put it in a backpack.

 

[Kanalua]

i bought a cheap CompGeeks laptop backpack, too out the inner laptop "pocket" and sewed that into my JanSport backpack (I like the big pack packs). Works great, protects very well, and nobody knows theres a lapyop in there!

I prefer not to carry them in obvious laptop/notebook bags as that may draw attention to yourself in bad areas. If it's a casual setting, I carry it in my Samsonite backpack which has a protective sleeve for my laptop. If it's a professional setting, I have a Reaction shoulder bag that came with a protective sleeve for laptops.

Kensington SaddleBag

It's nice, it has hideable backpack straps so it can be used as a regular backpack. The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of extra compartments for cables and such.

 

[mpitts]

I have a Kenneth Cole black leather bag for work and a Timbuk2 Dee Dog messenger bag for play.

 

[Farkshiatdamn]

Jansport Airlift Lapstation

Works great, looks like a regular backpack. Holds the laptop in a padded section that is under the straps. Used it every day for the last year and laptop still looks good.

I use the custom Brenthaven bag for my 17 Inch PowerBook.
