Can't you save money by wearing all the clothes you need and get a smaller, cheaper bag?

Hmmm... Let me offer you a hard learned piece of advice.
Do not buy a rucksack with too many pockets because things get lost in those pockets never to resurface until the most inopportune moments, e.g.in front of airport security.Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI have an osprey backpac which has a laptop compartment. It's quite large about 40l.
I also have a smaller I think 20l lowe alpine one with a laptop compartment.
I got them both from an outdoor shop. (The shop changed name between the time I I brought them.) So would suggest you go into a decent one and have a look.
Personally I prefer using a separate very slim laptop bag when travelling by train long distance - there are loads on Amazon - that way I can put my clothes up on a shelf but keep my laptop on me while on the train. Shorter train journeys I would use one of the bags as it ends up between my legs.
Originally posted by WTFH View PostI have a samsonite carry-on bag and a slip case for the laptop. That's enough for a 3 day trip, and I throw the laptop into the bag for transport. For shorter trips I have a backpack with a laptop section.
I've also got a Lowepro camera backpack that can take a 17" laptop in one section and is big enough for a lot of camera gear (or several days of clothes)
Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostStaples used to do some nice backpacks with enough space for a couple of days.
Failing that, get a wheelie one and a TYLT Energi backpack that slides onto the handle and has an internal battery that means you can charge your devices while on the move too.
Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostI ordered Targus TSB700EU City Gear Rolling back in 2014, its a solid bag. It can hold two laptops
Its large enough for a laptop plus a washbag and 2 days worth of clobber.
Plus its got a retractable handle so you can wheel it if you wantOriginally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?
