laptop bag?

[shadow]

I will be traveling a lot this year so I'm looking for a nice laptop bag na meron provision for clothes compartment that can carry a couple of shirt and a sweater/jacket. anong magandang brand ang saan makabili? and yun meron na rin palang compartment for other electronic. i.e. cellphone, ipod etc...

something like this Targus bag. 'coz right now ang ginagawa ko eh nilalagay ko lang sa regular backpack ko yun laptop. and I feel na hinde masayadogn safe for bumps and what not.

Bro.,- when you said that you are travelling,- will it be in the Philippines or outside the Philippines? I am asking this because international airlines nowadays, and I am sure you are aware of this, are now getting a lot more strict on handcarries.

A laptop bag, though it may count as an "extra handcarry" that is allowed, is now being looked at as a laptop-only bag.... Clothes and other stuffs are now beginning to be encouraged in the "other" handcarry bag...

both actually, I'm not really going to put a lot of clothes, but a shirt or two the max and sweater/jacket, just in case I need to change to a fresh shirt on a long haul flight. lagi kasi ako napapatakan ng food yun shirt ko pag kumakain ako sa plane. so sometimes I really need to change.

co'z istorbo pa kung doon ko pa kunin sa regular handcarry which is located pa sa overhead compartment, while a laptop bag with clothes compartment nakalagay lang sa foot area which is easily accessible.

i travel a lot also, i use incase laptop bag. medyo pricey pero worth it naman, kasi makapal sya and may protection yung part na lalagyan mo ng laptop mo. kaya kahit ibato ko lang yung laptop bag ko or just drop it from my back, hindi nasisira yung laptop and every thing else in the bag. have been using the same laptop bag for 2 years now, dati walang tumatagal sakin na bag ng ganon.

I could suggest two options... If you want a nice backpack with a laptop compartment, I recommend the Northface Big Shot. I have one and it easily accommodates a 17" plus a couple of clothes. I attended a Boracay wedding just last month and all I carried was this bag (I work in in IT and had to have a laptop at all times, hehe) and a camera shoulder bag. No check-in necessary, everything hand carried. I carried three days worth of clothes. Northface also has other models ranging in price from Php3000 to Php5,500.

The other option is to use a regular backpack and have a padded sleeve for the laptop. Belkin sells various padded laptop sleeves (around a thousand or so), though you can easily get less-known brands for less than Php 500 at some computer stores.


BTW, one thing I like about Thinkpad laptop bags is that they're kinda spacious and have two zippered compartments. I've always used a Thinkpad (since 1996) and their bags have a second zippered section where you can easily put two or three shirts, or a shirt and a jacket. The jacket will make it bulge a bit though.

I get to travel quite a bit and I prefer to have a separate handcarry bag (stroller type) and a bag for my 12inch netbook. The netbook is kept in a messenger bag which is perfect to keep my travel documents as well. So my handcarry bag stays in the overhead compartment. The netbook's charger is typically kept in my check-in luggage to keep my messenger bag lighter.

If my stay at the airport is longer, I just place the entire messenger bag inside the handcarry since it has wheels. This makes it convenient to go around the airport and visit the duty-free shops while waiting for my boarding time.

so ibig sabihin gusto mo mag-change habang nakaupo sa coach. eh ano naman sinasabi nun mga ibang passengers pag nakahubad ka na

I have two backpacks with laptop compartments. one is a Hawk cybergear bag bought in Manila a few years ago and the other is a Golla bag bought for $30 at an outlet store 'bout a month ago.

good enough for me since i also carry a small camera bag. I put the backpack under seat while the camera bag goes in the overhead compartment.

mga flight attendants at mga females passengers naglalaway sila tapos yun mga stewards and other male passengers, naiingit sa katawan ko. lahat naguunahan tumayo para lang panoorin ako magbihis. in fact kahit walang turbulence laging nakailaw yun seatbelt light para hinde na tumayo yun mga passengers. kasi insecure din yun pilot sa katawan ko. minsan nga pati co pilot tumatakbo at nakikinood din sa mga tao.

pag naiihi ako hinde na rin ako tumatayo humihingi lang ako ng baso then ihi na rin ako nakaupo.

Typically lasts between 4 to 6 hours depending on use and power/eco mode setting.

my wife got me a tumi tech laptop backpack a few years ago .. it's not big but big enough for laptop, accessories and a couple of shirts .. it will be too small for a big jacket though but alright for a light wind breaker..

i have another tumi tech stroller that has a laptop compartment which i use for travelling .. small enough to be considered a handcarry ..

If backpacks aren't out of the question, try to look at Deuter.

My current backpack is their Giga. It'll accept laptops up to 15.2" in a dedicated padded cell that forms the back panel of the backpack.

http://www.deuter.com/en/products/80419_Giga_09_DEU.php

The Giga seems built for outdoorsy people and true-blue backpackers: reflective strip for night walking, pockets for water bottles, key ring lanyard, pen holders and two zippered compartments - one for smaller gadgets and another big enough for clothes and shoes.

There are other variants of the Giga in case you want something more svelte.

Back to the topic.

If you want conservative styles, you can go for Tumi, Briggs and Riley, Victorinox, Coach, Kenneth Cole or Samsonite.

If you want more sporty styles you can pick from Oakley, Ogio, Jansport, Northface, Eddie Bauer, Incase and maybe popular local brands.

Online stores carry most of these bags. I'm sorry, I don't know any stores in pinoyland.

There is really no best laptop bag. What may be good to others may not be good for you. So better visit any luggage store and check out what they have.
