Small laptop backpack () ()
Tuesday April 25th 2006, 9:34 pm in Travel, Work

It is nearly impossible to find a cool backpack designed for laptops that isn’t huge. I’ve narrowed it down to some, but most of them are still a bit larger than I like, fitting up to 15″ screens (mine is 10″). Another couple options that seem to be missed in the few bags that are getting in smaller size are a chest and/or waist strap so I can use this on the bike, and additional pockets that would allow for carrying around mail, papers, etc up to about 2″ thick. So it’s either super slim and small, or larger and thick.

Here’s the ones I’ve narrowed it down to:

You might want to check out the offerings over at eBags…I got a computer backpack with a single strap from them a few months ago. While it might be bigger than you want, it’s held up really nicely & I know they’ve got a big selection there.

Thanks for the suggestion Betsy. eBags is almost like a chinese food restaurant - too many choices.

I finally ended up getting the timbuk2 bag:

I didn’t pick it up from REI though. I got it from Bike N’ Hike on Grand Ave.

So far I like it pretty good. I wish it had a waist strap, but it actually sits pretty solid and doesn’t move around without it. Interior space is adequate and I like the low profile and narrow design. Another minor thing that would be nice, is a way to tuck in the excess nylon somewhere from them adjustments for the shoulder straps. Now, they flap around at anything over about 20mph. Tying them back works for a bit, but they just come undone later. I think I need to have them sewn down by someone.
