Bag for rMBP

hellarda · 23 Sep 2012 at 17:02

Hi all,

I am looking to get a bag for my rMBP, I'm looking for something quite specific however.

- Not a rucksack.
- Not a 'normal' laptop bag i.e. not something like this

- Needs to be able to fit my Wacom Bamboo Medium graphics tablet.
- Needs to be able to fit Apple PSU
- Needs to be able to fit my 2.5" external HDD.

- Needs to look 'nice' i.e. fit in with the apple style.

- Can be a briefcase/shoulder bag.

Budget - preferably below £50 but could probably stretch to £80

Any ideas?

Cheers guys

Ali

I've got a Crumpler Daily XL, which is probably bigger than you'd need.

Room for 15" MBP, DSLR + a couple big lenses and accessories.

Have a look at their current range, there might be something a bit better suited.

meanwhile has anyone else got any more suggestions?

I just bought one of these: http://www.knomobags.com/uk/bungo-messenger-leather-brown-15-laptop-bag.html/

Awesome bag, fits my Macbook Air (will take a full fat 15" pro) and ipad along with some books or paper. The build quality is excellent!

Buy now :cool:

You just got mugged and you're happy to tell people about it? If I were you I'd be repressing that.

Not really, it's a very nice bag, the quality is excellent. I actually spent a good couple of weeks looking for a messenger bag to accommodate all of my tech when out and about.

I've spent a grand on my MacBook Air, 500 on the iPad, I'm certainly not carrying them around in a cheap and nasty bag. It's like people buying 500 quid iPhones then get a crappy case from eBay for 50p!!

I looked at an Oakley and Northface messenger/laptop bag in the £80 region but neither are up to par for my needs. The Knomo fit my laptop, ipad, paper pad and books safely and securely. Plus I can afford it so what....
