What is your laptop bag, how you have ended with buying it?

[legolas_w]

Hello everyone.
I am looking to buy a laptop bag, probably I will look at Ubuntu Ogio Messenger Bag
https://shop.canonical.com/product_i...roducts_id=123

What I want from my laptop bag is as follow: It can well protect my laptop and an external hard disk plus usual additional accessories, it should be light weight, It should have a very ergonomic design as I have no extra powerful muscles and a well ergonomic design can help very much.


If you have a laptop bag specially a messenger laptop bag please share your experience with me.

let me know how you ended buying that specific bag and to what degree you are satisfied with it.

Im surprised you didn't get one with you lappy. Oh well. I just got a stock bag with my thinkpad (cheap padded thing).

How much do you wanna spend? I havent got one of these, (man do I want one!!!!) but i can testify for the quality of Amberg stuff.

EDIT: i just realized my suggestion didn't actually meet any of your criteria .... teehee

I had some messenger bag for my laptop. I hated it because my 15" laptop weight was killing my shoulders with this bag. I can't understand why someone would use a messenger bag for a laptop. When i wore one, it was constantly bumping because of my legs, and bumping is not good for a laptop.
Now i have a laptop backpack from CaseLogic - it's very comfortable, easy on the back (in contrast to a messenger bag), and you wouldn't believe a 15" laptop fits inside. And it's not bumping on my back all the time like the previous one.

I have a pretty nice Targus backpack for my laptop. I'm a student so this lets me carry my laptop along with my books/pens/pencils/etc... All on my back so it is nice and easy to carry. I highly recommend it.

I have a Targus laptop bag, very dark blue + black in color, made for a 14" laptop as I used to have one, but I got my 15.4" to fit by ripping the sleeve (what? It worked. That's all I care about.)
Technically, it's not a messenger bag, but I carry it as one anyway...

I have this sucker:

It's really padded so I could throw it and not worry. I can jam a power cable in if I need it (into the side) but I get 4 hours so I usually just put papers there. I have the 15.4 model and a 13.3 laptop so it gives a bit of inside room if I ever get a small external hdd.

What type of battery do you have? My laptop battery can barely get two hours, though I think it has degraded over the past 8 months.

I don't know how to find what "type" but it's in a Sony SZ series. I turn the brightness all the way down (which is still quite well lit) and wireless on and active (just not constant streams) I use powertop to monitor what's killing what and I have a custom kernel with the powertop patch that makes it so the kernel isn't waking up so much (which is a "bug").

Works well for when I put it in my rucksack. I really don't just carry my laptop and when I do I just carry it in there. Once day I"ll get a nice case but it works well for what I want.
