It's hip to be safe: protect your laptop with these five stylish bags | ||||
![]() Lara Luepke, assistant editor | If you spend $2,000 on a new laptop, you want to make sure you protect that investment, and there's no better way to keep your computer snug and safe than with a good laptop bag. Of course, you could buy the same boring, basic black bag that everyone else has. But there are more options: many colorful and fashionable bags, totes, and backpacks are hitting the market these days. We've reviewed a few that are either exceptionally pretty, such as the Acme Made The Tote, or very protective, such as the Casauri New Portfolio. So, go ahead, protect that laptop and add a little color to your life while you're at it.

| Review summary | The roomy and stylish Commute's waterproof, vinyl lining and a padded laptop pocket will protect your laptop. | Casauri's roomy New Portfolio seamlessly melds a briefcase and a laptop bag into one stylish unit. It provides ample padding to protect your laptop and has plenty of space and pockets for other workday essentials. | The Tote looks very nice, but its bulk and price keep it from being ideal. | The attractive Sumdex Meg Cosmo Brief is well padded and has plenty of space for accessories, but it can handle only smaller laptops. | This aptly padded laptop backpack is stylish and roomy. We just wish it were a little more comfortable to carry. |
