Review: Chic Laptop Computer Bags

With all the new advances in technology, laptop computers are becoming more and more pleasing to the eye. Sadly, though, laptop bags lagged behind, overlooked for the fashionable items they really are. For years they remained plain, relatively featureless, and made your laptop feel rather unloved. Well fear no more, fashionistas, three new bags are on the market to solve your troubles and give your laptop a little pick-me-up.

If luxury and glamour are your middle names, we have your bag. The Filofax/Belgravia Collection laptop computer bag ($395 US) just screams class, with its luxurious black leather case and slim design. It features several pockets for your papers, pens and business cards, although due to its sleek design it likely won't hold everything you need - so be prepared to bring another bag along if you have a lot to carry. The size is just big enough to hold a Mac G3 Powerbook (which has a 14" screen and is very thin), but the cords make a bulge - we think it would be better suited for a small laptop.

The "Series 2" bags by Talene Reilly ($330 US) are gorgeously stylish and chic. These bags for the fashion-conscious are available in a wide palette of colours with playful linings (our favorite is called "Brunch with the Girls"--pictured at left). The interior fits a 15" widescreen snugly, and has pockets for just about anything you can think of - mobile phone, make-up, wallet, and of course your laptop. The easy access back pocket is perfect for the latest issue of Report on Business or Vogue. A really cool feature is the laptop sleeve itself; which is removable, so you can use it like a regular bag - two bags for your buck!

If you find yourself with a hankering for something with a bit more spunk, the Casauri Omni Collection laptop computer bag ($88 US) is for you. Available in a bright range of colours (including a sharp kiwi), the bags fit most popular 15", 16" and 17" laptops. Fully padded and made with water-resistant nylon (perfect for those pesky rainy days), the interior laptop compartment has a flap closure and a black protective exterior bottom. The padded shoulder strap is removable, and it comes with a plethora of pockets on both the exterior and interior for all of your odds and ends.

You no longer need to feel embarrassed about lugging around the laptop bag that resembles a hand-me-down from your father's office. Embrace your (and your laptop's) personality and seek out a bag that meets your needs!
