Good laptop/work bag?

I'm guessing you want something more professional looking than a backpack?

Correct... I found a fantastic backpack from NF, "The Router" and it had pockets on pockets, but I couldn't justify spending money on something I couldn't use everyday...

And I wear a suit so I can't be slinging a backpack

Saddleback Leather

Buffalo Jackson Trading Co. bag is what I use.

Yep, Filson also a very good bag.

I have that Filson and the Saddleback. I use both. Thoughts:

Filson

Pros: Versatile, looks good in most settings, durable, decently well organized, enough space, less rigidity means more weird sized stuff can fit

Cons: Not as durable as Saddleback, strap isn't the most comfortable, exterior pockets too loose for strange shaped items, less rigidity means it's sometimes a pain to carry or sit down places.

Overall: It's a good bag, gets complimented a lot. Have owned for more than a year (maybe 2?) and still looks newish. Biggest overall complaint is the top opening. It's fine, but it's sometimes cumbersome to cram stuff into or get stuff out of because it's less rigid and the zipper will always be in the way.

Saddleback

Pros: Looks great, will last forever, holds tons of shite, every dude like us seems to want one, rigid, nice top opening.

Con: Heavy as shite, sometimes too big for intended purpose, not as versatile, closure system is not as easy as Filson

Overall: It's a great bag I'll own forever. I use it less than the Filson, but like it more, if that makes sense.

Waiting for Yeti to wrap up their R&D efforts on this front before I jump back into the market. Typically wayward scrap paper will now stay just as organized as the molecules of the ice cubes in my ice chest.
