Laptops 2004-03-16 - By kim aldis

Veering only slightly from the subject, has anyone found a good qualitly
laptop backpack? I cycle and motorcycle mainly so it has to be a backpack.
Not too large but enough space for a change of clothes when I'm cycling and
something that's comfortable, given the weight of these things, and a snug
fit. Best I've found so far are the Lowepro camera bags but even they're not
perfect.
