ortliebAs a proud of owner of a 12-inch PowerBook I am always on the constant hunt for a laptop bag that will complement and add style to my laptop. For me a laptop bag is more than just something to dump my computer in. It needs to have personality, style, and be rugged enough to deal with my always on the move lifestyle. Enter the Sling-It Shoulder Bag from Ortlieb USA.
This bag allows PowerBook owners to have enough room to store their laptop and then some. It has a padded and coated inner organizer with velcro closure for safe laptop transport; 2 inner zipper pockets; snap hook for key; broad padded shoulder strap and if that was not enough, a removable “waist strap” to securely keep this bag in place when biking or running to your next class or meeting.
The Sling-It comes in two sizes (small and medium) and range in price from US $105-$115. Overall, I am extremely happy with this bag. As much as I like slim bags, they do not fit my extra notebooks, power supply and miscellaneous cables. This bag fits it all, and is sturdy enough to hold it all. I only wish that the Sling-It came in more whacky colors like orange or bright red to give more variety to their Sling-It line. This bag is a wonderful complement to any PowerBook. Or is it the other way around? Either way, this bag won’t let you down.
