There are loads of laptop sleeves that compete with Badget Bags – take a look at www.cromwellschoice.com if you want some more ideas. There are also loads of brands like Mendoza and Caribee to whet your bag appetite!

Peronsalising your bag

The Badget Bag (www.badgetbag.com) is a great looking sleeve and the makers encourage you to personalise it by attaching badges. The finished result is unique and cool but I’m not sure I’d be bothered to do it myself. I wonder if they’d offer a service to personalise your bag for you?

What’s a laptop bag worth?

You can start with the price tag I suppose, but is there a greater value? The average laptop costs about £500 but you can easily spend upwards of £1000, particularly if you’re a Mac user. Let’s say your laptop lasts 5 years, before it gives up the ghost after one too many knocks. If using a laptop sleeve adds 6 months to the lifetime of your prized machine then you’re adding 10%. My maths might well get corrected, but that’s worth about £50-£100. Better than a boot in the balls. There’s also the thought that using a sleeve helps prevent catastrophic failure (resulting in painful loss of data, worth much more than the price tag)

William Morris knew a thing or two…

William Morris, the famous designer is quoted as saying “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” I reckon this is a pretty good tenet. I presume you’re allowed to have something that’s both… Laptop bags and sleeves are pretty much all useful, but good looking ones are few and far between. I guess neoprene just is the fabric of beautiful items. There’s the odd good looking bag and I’ll try to track them down and share…
