  1. I need a laptop bag. I currently have a TImbuk2 Computer bag and don't really like it all that much.
    I am in Law School and after I shove my laptop in there I have bearly enough room for two normal
    sized law books. I have used this for a semster and don't really like it all that much. First off
    the size is too small so I need a bigger bag. My Timbuk2 bag was the middle size. Second I don't
    feel very safe with my laptop in the bag. It shifts around a lot when riding and I feel the bag
    bounce around a lot. Next I don't really feel that the the bag is very conforable with a full load,
    I am always adusting the bag to get it to fit just right. I figured out that instead of getting a
    bag made specifcaly for laptops I should get a latptop sleeve and then I can just shove that sleeve
    into a normal messanger bag. What kinds of bags do you guys in cyber space recomend. I have looked
    at Pac Design and was a little shocked by the sticker price, but I am getting a good amount of $$
    back from finacial aid so I can cover the price. Dose anyone have any bad experiences with Pac or
    can anyone recomend any bags that are cheaper than Pac? ALso I need to find a decent laptop sleeve.
    I want somehting that is covered and padded on all sides, inculding the top and bottom. I want a
    sleeve that is streemlined: meaning I don't really care about extra pokets and stuff. Just something
    that will protect my laptop. Thanks in advanced for all the info. Peace.

    P.S. I have a Timbuk2 bag for sale: Used for about 6 mth, it is Black, blue and Black, and will sell
    for $75 or best offer. I live in Lansing, Mi. area but can ship if needed.

    I have a Samsonite backpack, with a padded internal laptop sleeve. Very versatile, comfortable,
    spacious. The particular model seems to be discontinued, but there are a couple of similar ones at
    their website.

    Mine was $45 at an outlet mall.

    I've had one for some time now, and commute with it daily... plenty of room for the laptop, and also
    for a shirt, notepad, and hydration system bladder...

    I've used several of their bags and they are top notch.

    I can second this recommendation. I have the commuter briefcase which includes a laptop pouch.

  7. I carry mine, when I need to, in a laptop sleeve inside my Timbuk2 bag, the big one (DeeDog). ,
    waterproof as you care (stuff stays dry in England. 'nuff said) fits me fine; anything bigger would
    have been too big, anything smaller would have been uncomfortably small--this size slings across my
    back easily.

    I am however a lot wider than the rest of the bikie population.
