I'm a huge fan of Timbuk2 bags (I have had three in the past). Most of their bags of TSA compatible (it opens up flat so you don't have to remove your laptop from your bag when you go through airport security).
Depends. What size is your laptop? What are you carrying? What conditions will you be using it in? Special requirements like: - Tsa friendly? - slash-proof? - backpack? -----Original Message----- From: "Dave Cramer" <davecramer@gmail.com> Sent: 2015-04-28 3:35 PM To: "GTALUG" <talk@gtalug.org> Subject: [GTALUG] best laptop bag I have a wenger swiss gear that needs replacing.

I was shopping for a bag in the fall, and needed a large bag that could carry a mountain of stuff, and ended up with an Everki Titan that I bought at Canada Computers, which I've quite liked. This one is large, but Everki has a range. http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=388_389&item_id=044000 The web site doesn't show a price - I think I paid just under $100 or so. I had thought to buy online, but I really wanted to see and "test" in person. Hope that helps!

Backpack or shoulder bag? I've gone through a number of shoulder bags in the last decade, and this (I got the mid-sized of three available sizes) is what I still have, and really like: http://www.mec.ca/product/5031-194/onsight-saigon-messenger-bag/?f=10&q=onsight%2Bbag Not "TSA inspection friendly," you'll have to take the laptop out. Great pocket layout. MEC has an excellent selection of backpacks and shoulder bags at good prices, and you can walk in down on King Street. The Saigon bag is an expensive (~$90) knock-off of the even more expensive Crumpler bags that all the hipsters were carrying three years ago. -- Giles http://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
My laptop is small, but everything else I carry consumes a lot of space. I have a 13" mac air Dave Cramer On 28 April 2015 at 17:33, Giles Orr <gilesorr@gmail.com> wrote:
