Laptop Bags Buying Guide

Oh, the simple days when women carried PDAs, and cases that fold down into workstations. To help make a few choices about what you need, consider the following points.

Before You Buy

* '''Think about where you'll be bringing it.''' If you're trying to get that corner office, you'll probably want your case to give off a personal items. * '''Back problems? '''If you have neck or shoulder problems (or you have a long way to walk), a rolling laptop case may be right up your alley. Backpacks don't roll, but they ensure an even distribution of weight and have adjustable straps that minimize strain. * '''Measure your laptop. '''There's nothing worse than ordering a case online, getting it, and realizing it's the wrong size for your computer. Getting too big a case isn't much better; the extra room means your laptop will be bouncing around and taking a bit of a beating.  * '''Assess the padding situation.''' Are you merely getting a felt sleeve for protection from scratches or is this thing an padding may be needed. * '''Consider the safety of your environment.''' And I don't just mean how likely you are to drop it. Do you take the tube to work? Then you may want to rethink having a lot of pockets. It's great to be able to take out your mobile and MP3 player out with one hand, but that means pickpockets can too.
