Reminds me the old ads of Macbook Air, where it was pulled out from a manila envelope.

#12Why is a grocery bag the "ultimate" laptop bag exactly?
Well, it's the last one you'll ever need (for that particular laptop that breaks the first time you put it down too fast on something).

It’s not in my opinion. Look how wide the bottom is, so the laptop will rest diagonally across the bag which makes it not ideal to carry or put other items inside. I’m all for the perfect laptop bag, this isn’t quite it.

#14A made in SF Timbuk2 bag was (and is?) the ultimate laptop bag.

#16No it is not ultimate it is a sad state of things that one is so worried about laptop bags being stolen that you have to hide it and make it inconspicuous in a paper bag.
It's really sad that SFO is now the car burglary capital of the world.

#18> For me, the ultimate laptop bag is one that looks nothing like a laptop bag; it should look like nothing special at all.
That sounds like almost any regular backpack then. They can also be pretty weather proof, don't need to be carried in one hand, aren't open topped showing what's inside easily, and padded. Any simple and cheap backpack would solve this exact problem but better surely, unless your desire is to be different rather than just to move your laptop from one place to another with little ceremony.

The post doesn't say anything about worrying about it being stolen.

#20It's not just for carrying, but protection as well. So to answer the question, no, it's not the ultimate laptop bag.
