Mobile Edge Ultra Portable Netbook Messenger Bag - notebook carrying case

A laptop bag lives or dies based on its shoulder strap. Even a great-looking bag, with plenty of useful pockets and extra padding, will sit disused in the corner if the strap isn't comfortable, or is prone to sliding off your shoulder. The $49 Mobile Edge Ultra Portable Netbook Messenger...

Brenthaven Sling II

We're fans of the sling-style laptop bag, which combines the shape of a backpack with an across-the-chest strap more commonly seen on messenger bags. The end result: a bag that sits high on your back but distributes the weight across your body instead of all on one shoulder. While many...

Cutebug Messenger

Were it not for its slightly large size (the better to accommodate your 15.4-inch laptop), we'd think the $90 Mobile Edge Cutebug Messenger was another trendy everyday bag. But behind its vinyl front flap--like the Cutebug Sheba we reviewed earlier this year, decorated with a striking image taken from a...

Targus Corporate Traveler (15.4-inch)

The $90 Targus Corporate Traveler means serious business. The briefcase-style ballistic-nylon case looks ready to survive the bumps and knocks of even the most aggressive travel schedule. Which isn't to say that the bag is all utility with no style; the black exterior and gunmetal gray zipper pulls, along with...

Adesso WKB-3100UB wireless keyboard with trackball

The $80 Adesso WKB-3100UB wireless keyboard is a good mini keyboard for surfing the Web from your sofa, but it's a nightmare to use as an everyday keyboard and trackball. The keyboard is usable most of the time, but its inaccurate trackball, poor button press recognition, sticking keys, lack of...

Rickshaw Waterproof X-Pac small commuter bag (red)

When does a feature become a hassle? When referring to laptop safety versus portability, that's a very good and vexing question. Rickshaw Bagworks, a San Francisco-based company focusing on a high-end line of laptop-carrying messenger bags that use a fair amount of recycled materials, made us wonder about that when...
