Re: Laptop bags
Hi all Many thanks for the enthusiastic and entertaining advice on laptop bags - I can see I will need more than just a couple of hours to do justice to the variety of choice! I must admit that I had only considered 'briefcase' type bags, but after the comments on crumpler bags I'm definitely having a look. Thanks again WAMUG!

Laptop bags
Hi all Am about to hit the smoke and need some advice as to the best place to purchase a good laptop bag to fit a 12 Powerbook. I want a good sturdy bag, preferably with a sleeve, good protection and plenty of space for files and bits and pieces. Am prepared to spend up to $200 - any suggestions as to brands and purchase locations - ideally around the CBD?

Re: Laptop bags
Digilife has a store in Carrillion Arcade. I believe it is near the Murray St Mall end. The STM Bag range would probably meet your needs. Daniel F.

Re: Laptop bags
I've used my Targus bag - bought from David Jones - for over 12 months with my Powerbook and am very happy with it. It's a back-pack style bag so ideal for travelling. At that time, it cost about $100. From: Rob Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2005 07:48:46 +0800 To: WAMUG Mailing List wamug@wamug.org.au Subject: Re: Laptop bags Artref, Hay St Jolimont.

Lorelei sold me a nice STM Brink and an STM Glove for my new Powerbook. You can get them for 12 too. The glove is like a wetsuit and protects the PowerBook beautifully.

Re: Laptop bags
I too am a Crumpler fan. I have two superb camera bags and a messenger bag. They are tough and extremely well made. There is however the real risk that some person of discernment may steal the laptop for the bag. Michael -- Michael Kane Taylor Ph: 61 (0)8 9498 0952 Skype: Mikanta
Re: Laptop bags
I'm a Samsonite fan. If you have a 17 p/book it fits *perfectly* in the document holder tray in a normal black Samsonite briefcase, like it was made for it. It's more protected and depending on your client may be more 'appropriate'.
