Pros: Rolling laptop carrying bag eliminates discomfort from carrying bags with straps, Air-travel friendly, Soft leather exterior and poly-acrylic foam interior, Solid construction
Cons: Heavy, Has a tendency to go off balance due to short support pegs

Review: The unique design of the SOLO Cup Company Rolling Notebook Case is the answer to people who are looking for practical functionality in their laptop bags but not at the expense of style. The wheels and telescoping handle of this laptop case offer an alternative way to carry your mobile computer around instead of messenger-style or backpack bags, which can cause discomfort especially for long trips. Looking like a cross between traditional travel luggage and trendy designer handbags, the SOLO Rolling Case features a construction of soft Colombian leather exteriors outside and poly-acrylic foam for the interior. This laptop bag is a perfect fit for professionals, executives, and other people with business on the go; it can hold a lot of items like documents, mobile phones, and other small objects aside from the computer and its accessories itself. A soft protective sleeve for computers measuring a maximum of 16 inches and made of the same materials comes with the bag. As an added bonus, a strap that can be hooked to the sides for shoulder carrying is supplied. Aside from the overall look of this bag being a guaranteed head-turner, another plus factor with the SOLO Rolling Case is that it's very air-travel friendly. Travelers go through inspections faster, as the top-loading case and CheckFast protective sleeve included with the SOLO Rolling Case conforms to Travel Sentry requirements and allows airport security personnel to quickly see the contents of the bag. Heavy stitching throughout the structure of the bag ensures that your things won't be falling out due to ripped seams, which happens when being stowed in overhead storage or in cargo. The inside of the bag is partitioned into several different areas, also keeping things from mixing together. The wheelbase underneath the SOLO Rolling Case is a silent ABEC bearing protected by a metal skid plate, making sure that the rollers rotate silently even while bearing weight. The main issue about the SOLO Cup Company Rolling Notebook Case is not about the quality; rather, the weight of the bag is. At 9 pounds in weight by itself, it only takes so much items to make it feel like you're hauling a bag of bricks. The SOLO Rolling Case also has a tendency to tip over if it is not loaded up in a certain way, as the pegs at the bottom are not long enough to keep the bag even, forcing it off-balance. In all other respects however, this laptop carrying bag is definitely a quality product, not to mention an innovative one.

Pros: Slim, Lightweight, Good quality, Low price, Two carrying options
Cons: Not available in 12", A little tight

Review: Those who want a fancy case for their laptop or notebook PC with lots of room to spare may not be impressed with the Case Logic VNA series, but if you are looking for a compact and practical solution, this will do the job. Available in 10.2", 14" and 16", it allows your device to fit in nicely and carry it through the padded handle or the shoulder strap. You can also attach it to your wheeled bag using the luggage strap. However, owners of 12" laptops may need to find another case as it doesn't come in that size. It also provides a tight fit for some models so be sure to check your laptop's dimensions first before making a purchase. The 16" version can fit devices measuring 15.2" x 10.8" x 1.8" while the 14" and 10.2" can hold devices with overall measurements of 13.5" x 9.9" x 1.8" and 10.5" x 7.7" x 1.5", respectively. The design of the bag is pretty plain, thus making it perfect for work and school. It only comes in black, brown and tannin, and without any eye-catching color combinations and accents. What it lacks in style, however, it makes up for in functionality. Aside from making sure that your laptop is stored safely inside, it can also hold a few accessories. There are accessory pockets for organizing your pens and other portable devices like mp3 players and mobile phones and a neoprene USB drive pocket for keeping your thumb drive safe yet within reach. You can also place a charger and other cables in the dedicated Power Pocket. The Case Logic VNA is slim and lightweight. It is incredibly good for the price and the bag itself has great quality. Most importantly, it provides reliable protection while keeping your laptop and other things instantly accessible and it comes with a brand you've come to trust over the years.

Pros: Roomy, Thickly-padded, Durable, Modest price
Cons: Plain design, Not available in other colors

Review: Aside from letting you carry your 17" laptop, the Samsonite Wheeled Computer Backpack also has lots of pockets and compartments for other things thus, making it ideal for college students, businessmen and everyone in between. It is constructed with 400D Rip Stop Nylon which ensures durability and reliability and the laptop compartment as well as the back panel are both thickly padded for incredible protection against potential damage. The ice-pick pull handle and in-line skate wheels allow you to drag it along with ease and its padded straps reduce the impact on your back when carrying the bag to longer distances. The organizational pockets of this backpack are very useful in organizing small items and carrying portable devices. It makes it a great choice for those who've always wanted to fit their notebook and plenty of other things all in one place. A water bottle holder lets you stop for a quick water break when you need to and there is a headphone entry for keeping the cord easy to access and safe from the risk of pulling. The laptop sleeve is also removable. On the downside, the combination of charcoal and black makes it pretty versatile and professional-looking but those who wants bolder and brighter colors would be disappointed as it is not available in other colors. The design may also look plain and boring for some people. For its high quality construction and huge capacity , it is quite surprising that the price of the Samsonite Wheeled Computer Backpack falls within reach.It keeps your notebook secured and in place during travel while leaving you more than enough space for your books, gadgets and other personal belongings.
