This bag is designed for laptops and small amounts of work folders
Size & Price ---------------
The bag dimensions are H32 x W45 x D15cm and it costs £50 from John Lewis
Laptop Compatibility --------------------------
This carry case is large enough to hold any size laptop, apart from the large widescreen ones. I carry an IBM Thinkpad in mine with power cable and mouse with no problems.
Appearance & Features ----------------------------
The case is made out of black PVC and feels and looks quite nice. It has a stainless steel carrying handle with soft leather material on the underside of the grip. It also comes with a removable shoulder carrying strap which is sturdy.
Unfortunately, the main metal handle, though very comfortable to hold, is attached to the bag by 4 screws and these kept coming loose even after only a few weeks use! In the end I had to super glue them in! not very good for the price…..
The PVC material means the case is waterproof which is excellent if you happen to be caught out! The front flap has a metal clip which slots nicely and feels firm. There is a back zip pocket in addition which can fit in a number of flat but A4 size items.
Internally there is a Velcro strap to secure the laptop although I don't use it. It has 3 segments for laptop/folders and there is pockets for mobile phone, pens and a key ring loop, all very useful and easy to get too.
Overall ---------
A nice carrying case that is comfortable and easy to use which is sturdy and good quality but is probably a little expensive.
