The husband is a computer engineer working in the phone field and he is constantly dragging lots of things around whenever he is going to visit a client. There is his laptop of course, but that is just the tip of the iceberg as he usually carries phones, tools and other pieces of equipment …So as a result he needs a good bag to carry all he needs with him and he has a preference for backpacks, so for father’s day , I wanted to find a good computer bag for him.
The right bag for the job
While there are many computer bags out there, finding THE computer bag that worked for the husband took some researching as there where many features I was hoping to find.
The right computer bag had to be lightweight
Because he is always carrying all kinds of stuff that can make the bag a lot heavier, he needs a lightweight computer bag that is also of good quality to withstand heavy use and sometimes abuse the husband puts his bags through.
The right computer bag had to have lots of storage space
Because the husband needs to be able to get all his tools organized and have easy access to them, having different pockets for the tools and instruments was a must, not only to keep him organized, but also to help him save time by easily reaching all he needs at any given time.
The right computer bag had to look nice
Because image is important when you go to visit a client, the husband’s computer bag had to look nice as it would be part of his attire in a way… While it was not easy, I managed to find a great looking computer bag that had all of these features and then some.
He loved his Lexington computer backpack from Solo New York.

Solo’s Hybrid pack looks handy – sometimes it’s easier to carry a case, sometimes easier to have a backpack. I carry a lot more than just my computer – there’s the charger for the laptop, backup battery and charger for my phone, 2 – 3 bottles of water, fruit, file folders, and other supplies. That’s a lot of weight, so my bag needs to be well stitched.

A good computer bag will protect my computer, of course, but I really appreciate when there’s room for a lot of other stuff other than the computer.

The Everyday Max Backpack. Lots of compartments for all my gadgets on the go: I use gadgets from portable batteries, laptop, camera, 3DS, external hard drives, cables etc. It must also have a lot of support for my back. It must look sleek for work purposes and travel friendly since I’m a recent graduate in need of one.
I really like the Trailblaze Backpack. When looking for computer bags, I also look for lots of storage, but I particularly look for a backpack that I can also transport my iPad in as well as a few notebooks, pens, and my planner. I’m a bit of an organizational freak!

First of all I need a computer bag to spread the weight out well on my back. If I have to wear it for long periods in an airport or on public transit, it can’t make me sore. Padding for the computer is second most important. I keep my machines for years if possible. I want to protect them

If I could choose a bag to try out it would be Crosby Backpack (EXE735) in black. When I get a backpack I like a lot of pockets and space.

The color of the SOLO Classic Espresso Colombian Leather Rolling Case really stands out. It looks more expensive than it is.
I like the trailblazer backpack because it has what looks to be flannel in it. If it is flannel then it will go well with my shirts because that’s what I generally wear.
