Blipfish - behind the coffee cup. The business of my business.

What might be the perfect laptop bag I’ve ever owned.

…there’s even a matching laptop sleeve.

Heck, I even like the colors. It’s almost as-if the sleeve was built just for my new 15″ MacBook Pro.

Now I finally have a better “second office” thing going on.

I guess I’m cramming two things together… this post was original about ordering the bag (before I even bought the laptop, ha ha). Now it just seems to make more sense to chat about the whole shebang.

The bag is, indeed, great. I have a couple, minor complaints - no outer-flap compartment. It’s not a big deal as I tend not to put many things in such a place for fear of damage to the items themselves (it is the exterior of the bag, after all). I also really wish they built a simple strap system of some kind to retain the laptop inside. I rarely walk off with the flap open (the handle would be inaccessible at that point)… but I’d feel better knowing my laptop was snugged in with a seatbelt.

The large bag is a bit bigger than one might guess. The specs are correct, of course, but it reminds me of a small version of a catalog case salesmen might use (or used to use). For me, that’s still fine because the point of the larger bag is to have something along the lines of a portable office… cables, mouse, camera, phone, booklets and manuals, etc.

If you’re thinking of grabbing one of these puppies I can certainly recommend it.

ps: Oh, the Mac. It’s a 15″ MacBook Pro, 2.5GHz, 2Gig RAM, 250Gig HD, Leopard, running VMWare Fusion for the benefit of Windows XP.
