I would recommend Briggs and Riley backpacks, but if you're a loser use a Tesco carrier bag like Dim does.

I have a Lenovo X1 which AFAIK is not waterproof or has any useful IP rating. I also carry a pad or some documents from time to time which I dont want getting wet.Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostWhat laptop have you got? The water resistance bit puzzled me.

I tend to pick mid-range fabric bags that are more discrete and just replace them regularly. Also doesn't wind-up the permies that you are the loaded contractor, whereas having the hardware you need for the job is a given.
A decent suit / clothes and a good laptop bag / briefcase are part of the necessary ensemble. Also a car that says money but won't upset the finance director.

I am in the same position, in that the latest laptop is somewhat smaller, therefore requiring a smaller bag.
You could use this opportunity to learn a new skill & make your own.
That’s my current project, I have all the parts cut, punched & dyed, just waiting for delivery of some more lining material so I can sew it all together
