Need a recommendation for a well-padded laptop bag
I need a really well padded laptop bag for my next trip. I cannot STAND using Lodgenet any more. It sucks completely. So, give me your recommendations and I'll go buy one. Pronto.

1. Lowepro makes really good, padded and durable camera bags
I've had one for six years and it's been everywhere with me. They also make computer bags. Check out this link

3. Wrap computer in flannel pillow case.
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 08:33 PM by politicat
Seriously. A computer in a plain backpack wrapped in a flannel pillow case is not nearly as likely to get stolen in a crowded airport.

But... I have a incase padded sleeve that I use around town. It's got a layer of kevlar inside the padding as extra protection.

this one: &height=150&width=157

I like cross bodies. I have this one for traveling: http://my2cents.biz/tibagusa/ It's great when I have to carry more than just the computer and the power adapter and a basic legal pad.


Yes, they're Powerbook bags, but they'll work for just about any laptop.

I actually was going to get this



but the store didn't have any and I wanted something right away. They also have other kinds, various colors. This one's pretty cool, but I already have too many bags:
