    Same rules as always apply. Is it wholly and exclusively for business?
    I’d put it as office equipment or computer hardware. Then my accountant would correct it.

    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.

    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.
    Nowadays I have little interest in keeping the permies happy - I go in tell them how to do their job properly, extract the large fee and leave them to it.

    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
