cool messenger laptop bags

so i’ve spent 2 days looking for cool laptop case. not the typical boring white collar breifcase type nor the bookbag.

i wanted something cool, something like a messenger would carry, but … i also wanted it to be vertical, so it would be easier to carry (especially that my new Dell D620 is considered to be a small 13′ ish in size.

found lots of bags … lots. but most of them where not cool or where too heavy.

here are the 4 finalists i came up with:

drums … it basically came down to STM & Tucano (thought it was called Stucano because of the misleading logo …). Even though Tucano was the lightest, it basically had 1 compartment & my D620 barelly fit.

So … I settled for hip looking STM – just the right fit, but with few extra compartments

ps: a worthy note is …. this Microsoft Vertex messenger bag (MS does great non software products, doesn’t it? ) but it was plain black
