[TriLUG] Laptop Backpacks...

[bak]

Tom Bihn Brain Bag. Could probably fit two 15" laptops in there along with your clothes, though on my last trip to Europe I only had to fit 1 (and clothes, shoes, zip-case full of cables and tech junk, notebooks, iPad, kindle, PS Vita, external keyboard, water bottle, power adapters...). If you get a Brain Cell (laptop sleeve) it's even mounted on straps that let you slide it out of the bag and through the TSA's x-ray without de-sleeving it.

Bought it after many years of using an Empire Builder -- good for hauling stuff around at work, but a one-shoulder briefcase arrangement was causing shoulder problems on actual trips.

Tom Bihn bags are pretty much indestructible. I had some velcro peel up from its stitching from the internal laptop case of my EB and they fixed it (and reinforced it) for free; I only had to pay to ship it to them. Also their pocket arrangements tend to be brilliant without being fiddly.

My $0.02.
