Laptop Bags (WARNING: Potentially Girlie)

chicgeek · 01-10-2007, 10:09 AM

My computer is in need of some portable protection, so I am looking for a laptop bag. Both my parents and my roommates requested that I let them know what I am investing in so that they might contribute to the cost for my birthday. I'll be selling off parts of my computer, which will hopefully help offset the cost.

Below I found two possible solutions to appease both me and my laptop:

Abbi New York - Darci (Sienna)
COST: ~$82 US (including shipping), delivered from the states. Other online sellers.
STYLE: More casual, colourful, feminine.
PROS: Reasonable cost, great reviews, makes a definite statement.
CONS: No handle, fabric may wear, will I like it two years from now?

Acme Made - Cargo Slim (Peacock)
COST: $259 US (including shipping). Other online sellers.
STYLE: More professional.
PROS: Stylish and unique, excellent quality, classic style.
CONS: Cost, may not be able to purchase for a while.

Is it worth it to save up for that overpriced beautiful quality bag?
Or should I invest in the purple fabric one, and save my cash?

For a girl, the first one.

I would save your pennies and wait to get that awesome second one.

Isn't it beautiful, Kristee?

Another thing to consider is that will people take me seriously at Grad school if I get the first one?

Then again, I'm in music, so that's not as large a concern as it could be.

I assume you got a bag with the laptop so you don't have to lug it around in your hand right now? Because my first thought was how can you wait on a bag? Although I just not big on the stripes. I like the first one.

Oh...and "Potentially girlie"? I think you can say totally.

2nd one

I would go with the second one.

Def. the second one! Looks cool and professionAL!

chicgeek · 01-10-2007, 09:15 PM

Found a better price. Updated.

I would try and find a third one......

But if you don't, I like the second one. Also, you'll have to find some shoes to go with it.

I've probably spent a good couple of hours looking at every notebook bag online and haven't found anything else I particularly like.

That being said, the search goes on.

I just have a plain black leather one. Works for me.

chicgeek · 01-11-2007, 09:26 AM

Yeah, my dad says he has an extra laptop bag. I'll be using that until I can got me own.

Ya'll got horrible fashion sense.

Agreed. I'm open to suggestions, but immediately skeptical of your confidence on the subject.

The second laptop bag is more usable, I see more and more models showing up, I believe purse manufacturer are seeing some money in Laptop designer bags.
