A fine laptop bag is a personal investment. As with any personal investment, most of us will first do some research, assess our specific needs, desires, space requirements, personal preferences and budget.
2. PERSONAL LIFELINE:
Many briefcases
accommodate a laptop
computer, therefore,
laptop fit should be a
minimum expectation
when purchasing a
new briefcase.
It is your personal
lifeline away from
home.
It is your purse, your
briefcase, an extension
of "you" and therefore it
is not just a laptop bag!

10. If you travel a lot, we suggest purchasing a laptop case with
feet (some styles have raised gussets that will stand in for
"feet") and scratch and water resistance protection, if made
of leather.
Cases tend to run larger and heavier than other styles.
Make sure the case itself is reinforced well enough at sides
to support strap carriage and ultimate weight.
The material your case is made of is not just an aesthetic
choice but one of budget, lifestyle, and duration.
12. The most important
consideration for a lady,
speaking for ladies, is
carriage.
It is important to
consider your body
frame and height.
Good health requires us
to consider the
constraints we place on
our limbs.
Consider your actual
space /weight
requirements for travel,
then trim those down.
If you must, carry a
wheeled bag when you
travel.
Consider getting an
overnight, wheeled laptop
case.
