Do you carry it in a sassy expensive tote or messenger style bag or a backpack?

Backpack. I hate having things in my hands or on my shoulder while rushing about town.

Leather backpack here!

PinkLadyLove · 20/12/2023 20:10

I carry it in a ridiculous expensive laptop handbag alongside my other ridiculous handbag. Both are insufferablely heavy but absolutely beautiful.

When I got promoted, I treated myself to one of these. However it doesn't fit my lunch so I've ended up using an old backpack Blush

leather backpack too
from Clark’s outlet

Sensible backpack with padded straps. I wanted something elegant and stylish but I wanted not to hurt my shoulders even more, as I carry a load of other heavy stuff in there too. I got an inoffensive one from Herschel.

I have a beautiful leather osprey handbag. I love it and use it daily

atomicnotsoblonde · 20/12/2023 20:14

Laptop handbag I mean, not a tote

Tote from our local farm shop

I cycle so I carry a proper commuter backpack. But when I was commuting by public transport I had a La Mansio, which is both practical and beautiful. I wore it as a backpack.

Backpack.

givethedoggerbone · 20/12/2023 20:20

Kanken.

My laptop is pretty small so even when it's in it's sleeve it fits in the back pocket where the seat pad is stored.

Leather aspinals tote

Also following. My laptop is 17’’ (a whopper, I know) so I’m struggling to find anything decent to put it in.

Dipsomaniax · 20/12/2023 20:24

I carry mine in the cheapest of cheap bags, and I drive to and from work so no-one sees me. And despite having and needing a laptop for work I earn minimum wage. So won't be buying an Osprey or otherwise for the yoke.

dudsville · 20/12/2023 20:28

I have a proper backpack. Like others, i wanted my arms and hands free and it felt best for back health also i can put excess scarf, gloves, jumper in it if o get to warm and it fits lunch and all my necessities. I miss my handbags, but i can't deny this is the better option.

My old laptop was massive, I have a knomo backpack that fitted the laptop and all my other stuff comfortably.

I have a whistles leather backpack and have grown to hate it. I know it’s more practical but I feel like a school kid, and if I go out after work I feel ridiculous with it. I Long for the days when I had my own desk and draws and didn’t have to go round like a pack pony!

XmasPartyhat · 20/12/2023 20:45

Mine is in my massive handbag along with all my other tat. I only have to walk from front door to car and car to door with it. It's not that heavy.

OracleofWurms · 20/12/2023 20:47

A cheap business trolley or tote bag on wheels, usually market stall or ebay purchased, i like backpacks but i prefer the trolley

Wallywobbles · 20/12/2023 20:48

A fantastic laptop backpack from niid. Absolutely the best laptop bag I've had.

Dynamoat · 20/12/2023 20:50

I have a padded shoulder backpack that was about ÂŁ25 from Amazon. Had it over 3 years now and it's done really well. I have to evenly distribute the weight as I have lots of walking. However once I'm in central London I do feel a bit like a tortoise.
