Carry a laptop and still look cool

I can't believe I have just read a thread about men discussing the merits of different bags.

It used to be that a laptop was a tool of the trade, now in most cases it's carried by a tool in the trade.

Does anyone know of a decent wheeled bag that will carry a 17" laptop as well as books and other stuff. I have looked at the suitcase types but they don't have a specific pocket for the laptop. Guess I am moving out of the laptop market and in to the luggage market so will have to make do. Just wondered if anyone had seen anything. Maybe a little larger than this?

That guard's bag looks a bit brutal, with all those hard edges. But I'm quite tempted if it's one of the few that holds 17" lappies.

I wonder if any of the Crumplers are large enough.

I have a cheesy disco in custom colours. Not sure if they still do build to order.

Is this possible?

Isn't attempting to look cool sufficient proof that you are not?

I'm fed up with lugging around my laptop in a backpack style bag - a Frenchman laughed at me yesterday.

I need to get something more fashionable. Any suggestions on a decent looking (functional) laptop bag? I've had a look previously at the Tumi range and they look an option.

Recommendations please!

After giving it a bit of further thought, shouldn't the question be 'carry a laptop and look professional'? I have a Dunhill bag that gets used for interviews and anytime I've not got a laptop with me. The laptop gets carted about in the guards' bag because it is big enough for my 17" Dell (I have a cover for the laptop to ensure it has a little extra protection), it's hard wearing, it's not a rucksack and I am over 30.

I have the Cheesy Disco in light brown.. it goes well with favourite brown suit

and if I don't need a laptop then my "day to day" bag is the Cyclus Plaza bag made of recycled bike tyres and inner tube liner. It's strong sturdy, eco-friendly and looks different

Can you not just keep the old laptop bag and happy slap the Frenchman?
