The best way to transport the Kensington Contour Balance, of course, is by pulling it behind you. The telescoping handle feels sturdy and includes a hook on which you can hang a purse (or man bag). The T-shaped rubberized grip makes it easy to keep a firm hold on the handle. We pulled our stuffed Contour Balance across unevenly tiled walkways and across rough city sidewalks; we also dragged it up and down stairs and over a curb. We were impressed not only by how quietly the bag rolled but also by its inherent stability; even when going down stairs, the bag never felt the slightest bit likely to flop over.
While the Contour Balance's price is higher than that of other laptop bags, $100 is less than we'd expect to pay for a similarly constructed carry-on suitcase. The price also includes a lifetime warranty on defects in material and workmanship. If you travel frequently with a large laptop and lots of other materials, we think the comfort and flexibility offered by the Kensington Contour Balance is well worth the cost.
