laptop bags

for laptop users here, do you still use the bag that came with your laptop? seems like ibm develop their bags to help people develop scoliosis.

What brands are good, durable more importantly light, most importantly available locally

Nope. The Targus bag that came free with my rig is - believe it or not - heavier than my laptop so I don't use it. For long hauls, I use either my orange Samsonite bag (that can double as an overnight travel bag) or my red Echolac. For short hauls, I use an old Delsey bag.

The other thing I hate about the bags that come with laptops is that it has "I'm a computer. Steal me." written all over it - it's so obvious that there is an expensive piece of equipment inside that is portable enough for a crooked minded person to steal and run off with.

Good laptop bags I know of that are available locally are Jansport, Samsonite, Delsey and Targus (the soft kind).

My advice to you is get a bag that's inconspicuous, comfortable to carry around, light, has lots of compartments and ideally can double as an overnight bag for clothing and stuff.

Yep, that's a very good brand. You can store your camera stuff and your lappy inside. I'm thinking of getting one myself, although I was looking at some LowePro models through the 'Net the other day.

[SIZE=1]*nicolodeon: Camera bag po ba hanap mo? I am selling my barely used MicroTrekker. Dumadami na kasi collection ko ng Crumpler. Hehehe.

Kiko, How much are you selling your crumpler? Does it have many compartments?
I always wanted to put my usb drives, power adaptor, backup discs, tv tuner, antenna, inverter etc. in my laptop bag but it seems it doesn't fit all in one carry. Can you send me pics at my email?

This is very true especially for individuals who travel or commute a lot. To help protect our programmers (who are usually assigned their own notebooks) we give them backpacks we buy from a shop in Galeria. Not sure if the backpacks are imitations or a local brand (brand is CAT), but they seem to be made for construction workers as they have a lot of compartments and are heavily stitched. Considering that they have held up well for over two years and countless commutes and travels, they are really a bargain at P500 each.
