Northface Recon.
I drive a motorbike so it needs to be a backpack. It has multiple felt line pouches including one large one for a laptop, and other gadgets. Isn't too large for daily use due to cinching straps (Also I'm 6'1 ~215lb) but can expand up to ~35 litres for anything a bit more strenuous. Best bag I've ever owned.

I'm using the Bag of Holding from ThinkGeek. It's starting to fray from the corners of my computer, and I'd kind of prefer a bag that's less...nerd culture-y, but none of the other messenger bags I've found are as functional. It's got two separate main compartments so I can keep my laptop separate from my other EDC stuff, and a tablet sleeve in the laptop compartment that I've yet to see anywhere else.

I carry around a messenger bag when I bring my laptop, but it feels so goddamn girly.
To sit down with a messenger bag on a bus, you have to put it on your lap, like a girl.

The only time I was ever picked on for carrying one was in middle school where they called it a "Man Purse" which isn't even a real insult.

I have some "leather" swissgear messenger bag that I found at goodwill for $5 or so. It's pretty nice, though I wouldn't want to lug it around for more than a few blocks. It's got a divider for my laptop and other stuff, plus a small pocket for pens and cards and other stuff, plus zippered compartments on the front and back for papers or whatever?

Was thinking about getting a timbuk2 messenger bag. But they kinda look gay. I need a airplane carry on for laptop and electronics may look into case logic unless anyone wants to shill something at me.

There is no use for matte screens beside to reduce glare which wouldn't be an issue if you didn't have such weak shit eyes, and isn't bad if your screen isn't under-lit shit.

This is a retarded opinion.
Back packs are the most practical, safe and ergonomically correct bag.
They're god tier compared to messenger purses.

>>58433878
Just because it isn't the same opinion as yours it doesn't mean it's retarded, there's lots of people out there who share my view on this, not saying I'm right either. Most messenger bags I see out there look pretty gay.

I still need something for a long haul flight and messenger/briefcase type is about the only thing I find that doesn't look retarded.

I was looking for a new bag and this looks pretty nice. On Amazon it says it's for laptops <14" so my X220 should fit well in there.

>>58435872
14'' model has more than enough space for X220 according to manufacturer's website ("Fits devices 36.3 x 4.3 x 25.1 cm").
Mine is for 16'' notebook and I've managed to put in nb (15.6'') + charger + cables + pants + t-shirt + towel + lunch.
Pretty good for $50 backpack.

>>58436035
That's what I thought. I didn't want to buy a 12" bag because the 9 cell battery sticks out on the back. I think I'm going for this. I want the laptop to sit as tightly as possible.

Do you have HDD or SSD in your X220? I've repaced HDD with SSD because I go to work with bicycle and was afraid HDD will get damaged during transport.

>kanken
>>>/tumblr/

>>58436281
They are robust.
Concerning tight fit: I'm not talking thickness. I think with the big battery it's gonna be pretty tight. If it's a bit loose it's still as tight as possible because there are just no bags that take these bulky batteries into account.
Concerning HDD: I have an mSATA SSD and a 320GB HDD in there. I don't even own a bike so I should be fine with that. Besides, you can only cause real damage if the HDD is operating while you drop it and even in that case Thinkpads have a safety mechanism.

Problem with a messenger bag is you have to put it over your head if you want to be hands free, otherwise it will slip off your shoulder.

Doesn't sound like a big deal, but if I was using them for IT purposes at remote locations & always had something in my hands. The backpack was just much more convenient and you didn't have to put it over your head everytime you had your hands full.

I added some extra padding but the the bag is divided into two large compartments along the length of the bag. I mainly keep my laptop in it and I toss it in my car on the floor and nothing has been damaged in the year I have owned it.

I've not had it long. It was a Christmas present from my girlfriend.

It's real leather (smells like it at least) and has plenty of space for a laptop, multiple notebooks, tablets, power banks, etc. It even comes with a cable holder to stop small cables getting tangled in your bag. The strap is detachable as well, if you prefer to use it as a briefcase type thing. It's honestly leaps and bounds better than any messenger bag or backpack I've had in the past in terms of looks, space and organisation.

>>58445785

Think this is too /fa/ggoty? The shoulder straps are way too small to be worn as a backpack, plus some asshole wrote his name on both sides of it. On the plus side, it fits my X220 almost perfectly. I could snap the straps together and carry it over my shoulder.

Going to try fabric stain remover on the sharpie tomorrow, wish me luck.

I have the brown one and it still works fine after almost 2 years. Minimal fading as well. Love it.

I carry this for work.

I carry it because I carry a laptop, legal pads, multiple files, a phone and a mini projector. I sell insurance.
