Machines should have it or u can choose to buy here in garage sales.

Any good sleeve that can fit MBP 13" 2011 and the adapter??

Hey guys, I am looking for a bag (preferably backpack) for my MacBook Pro 15". I am on a tight student budget (<RM250). I will be going to a university in San Francisco, so I prefer to have a backpack as it is much more comfortable for me while commuting using public transport. Messenger bags are also considered, but backpack is my main priority.

I love Crumpler's bags but their backpacks are a little too expensive. King Single is way out of my price range, but I can't find Private Zoo in Garage Sales.

I might be considering Alienware's Orion backpack too.

I will definitely consider Targus if there are any simple, cheap backpacks.

Any recommendations?

If you are going to SF just get the timbuk2 there best messenger bags in the world!!
www.timbuk2.com

Not the best lah, see this my favorite:
Tom Bihn

I got the Deuter Giga for my MBP15.
i think its still on sale at world of outdoor the gardens.all bags 20% off,got the Giga for 220.normal was 280 i think.

i also got the backpack cause i'm commuting a lot too.i like messenger bags,but its gonna be painful to your shoulder.so thats why i got the backpack,and also cause i carry a lot of things,like spare clothes,books,mineral bottle.haha.commute la,hate if i left something at home.

Thanks, just checked out some Timbuk2 bags. Their messenger bags are great but I prefer backpacks, I found someone in Garage Sales selling the Timbuk2 Hacker Daypack (messenger bag, convertible to backpack via hidden straps) but that one the design not so nice. Will definitely buy a Timbuk2 bag for purposes other than toting my MacBook Pro around, though!

Tom Bihn's bags looks nice too, but I can't seem to find one here. (I need one right now because I don't currently have a bag to carry my MacBook Pro in..)

Thanks for the recommendation, and from the commuter's point of view. I prefer a backpack as it's much more spacious and after several years of using a messenger bag for my camera bag, my shoulder can't take it anymore haha. Need a proper backpack so the load will feel as lightweight as possible.


===================

At the moment I am considering a Everki Swift, Deuter Giga, or a Jack Wolkfskin Perfect Day backpack. Anyone have any thoughts on these?

Belkin backpack is quite nice too. RM 119 I got it from PC Depot. Quality wise it is good and did the job well. Light weight as well.

NICE !!!

Another best bag company:
WaterField

Thanks, I will look at some Belkin bags too. Where can I find PC Depot's store location?


Thanks for sharing, the bags here looks quite awesome too!

No worry, both are TOP laptop bag maker in US

Anyone tried moshi track guard?
How is it?

@Latias:
theres also deuter Gigant,extra 4ml more than the Giga.Giga i think is 28,the gigant is 32.price is only different 30-40 ringgit.
but that Tom Binh and Waterfield is nice too,but more expensive.lol.

@BRY7:what problem we should encounter from random track guard?
my new MBP is still naked.still surveying for a cheap and good protector for the whole set,screen,wrist,body and keyboard.any ideas?

@BRY and @dlaz:
BRY: i have the trackguard come with palmguard. imho, i like the original , better surface for touchpad.
dlaz: im just using the silicon keyboard protector, palmguard and sleeve bag with backpack. just nice to me. but if you want extra, there a see thru hard case for notebook found on garagesale. just i like it naked, but it kinda risk of getting bump.. just buy that suit to your need

Then I'm guessing I won't buy the trackguard

I brought the Moshi PalmGuard that come with a trackpad guard. Will try out the texture feel before put on.

Will update later

I've a 5 years old MBP that is 'naked' .. only thing that look bad is the keyboard, some of the keys coating got scrapped off. I don't think you need any protector for your MBP. I've tried using that silicon protector on my keyboard and I hated it, used it for few weeks and I throw it away. And I bought the hardcase for the body but left some scratches and it looks ugly.. so, my advice is .. just let it naked..

Thanks for that info, I decided to get the seethru satin case only

Yeah i like it naked.dont like that speck case or anything like that.lol.but maybe will buy a carbon fibre sticker like that.just to save it from scratches.or just some plain transparent ones.
i guess i'll get the screen protector,palm guard,track guard and the top and bottom body protector.any brands and prices?
