Laptop Bags (WARNING: Potentially Girlie)

[chicgeek]

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.

[chicgeek]

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

[Julie]

I would go with the second one.

[Izzmo]

Def. the second one! Looks cool and professionAL!

[chicgeek]

Found a better price. Updated.

[Kitchen Designer]

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.

[chicgeek]

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.

[Julie]

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

[chicgeek]

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.

Actually, I know some people who have those and love it. Think big city yuppie who only has to travel across flat floors and concrete.

It's all a matter of setting, and you're right - it wouldn't work for me.

Yea, those things are silly. Same will the rolling backpacks, briefcases, etc. People are too lazy these days!!

I can understand rolling suitcases, but this other stuff is just stupid.
