Then I realised I had one already and sewed two strips of broad elastic into my courier bag, to restrain my laptop's neoprene case.

Personally, I've had Tumi laptop bags & backpacks for the last 7 years or so, and I cant' ever see switching. They have a few models that carry a 15" MacBook, and their computer protection compartments are well constructed. Futher, the warranty is stellar. Send the bag back, they'll fix it or give you a new one. I've sent both of my 7 year old bags back in the last year, and one came back "new" and one came back repaired. I don't believe that there is a 'one size fits all' or 'one for all needs' laptop bag out there. If I'm travelling for a day trip or working around town, it's always the backpack. However, client meetings and longer trips where I actually need paper has me pulling out the full briefcase style bag. Seems this conversation has come up before, though perhaps not on WWD.

I was looking for the right bag that would fit my laptop and all the accessories and everything else. I found the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Targus-CVR600-Groove-Notebook-Backpack/dp/B0001H27PS/sr=8-1/qid=1168594794/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-8751964-5483960?ie=UTF8&s=electronics" rel="nofollow">Targus Groove</a>. It fits everything I need with room to spare! It's always sold at a reasonable price. I also like the limited lifetime warranty. Great suggestions!

It nicely fits my 15 inch Toshiba laptop (though any bigger screen wouldn't fit). With an Eagle Creek packing sleeve, the main compartment holds several days of clothes. And it has plenty of little pockets for keys, music players, pens, tickets, business cards, water bottle, etc. Highly recommended if going to backpack route.
