#bag

  • Aaron Parecki
    Got stuck in a research hole looking for a new laptop/travel bag. Can't quite find anything that fits all my requirements though. Must be able to fit the following:

    • Laptop: 7.75" x 11"
    • Keyboard: 5.5" x 15.25"
    • Headphones: flattens to 6.5"x7.5"x1.5" or collapses to 6.5"x5"x3"
    • Kindle, notebooks: 5"x7"
    • DSLR: 3.5" x 4.5" x 6"
    • Battery: 3.5" x 6.5" x .75"
    • Various wires and cords

    For reference, I can currently fit everything in my small Tumi sling bag, except the keyboard sticks out the top by an inch and so I can't zip up the compartment. That bag would be perfect if it were just a little taller.

    I want something that doesn't *look* like a backpack, and is nice enough looking to carry in a semi-professional setting. Most backpacks with two straps are too casual looking, and most of the one-strap slings are too small. More zippers are generally good, since I tend to carry lots of little things that would all get lost in a single compartment.

    The only ones I've found so far that are close are:

    Any suggestions?
