*big* laptop cases....

Hmm... the question is wheels or hovercraft.
Visit http://www.notreadytogiveup.com/[^] and do something special today.
wheels... it has to fit on a bus about once a month for the next year.... not the bus fit on it. :)

I am now in the market for a dual laptop case. because of how work is now, especially encryption requirements, I will need to use a work laptop for homework... and I have my own laptop, which due to legal issues and moonlighting must be done on my own laptop.... I will be splitting at least one week a month away and needing both laptops. As much as I dislike carrying two monsters.... That is a non-negotiable item... which means carrying two. Two bags increase risk and awkwardness, which is slightly worse than two laptops in one bag... thus I need a bag to house two oversized laptops. we're talking good healthy weightlifting laptops: a 17inch Alienware ancient brick and an equivalently large (though somewhat longer) Sony laptop.... I'll shop ebags this evening... but I figured I'd offer it up and see if anyone knows someone as insane as I... and if so... what was their insane choice and how insanely did it work for them?? :)

at one point in time, for short period of time, I was carrying two laptops. I started with fudging 2 laptops into an old lether laptop bag. After few days, the pain in the shoulder was no unbreable, decided to go with two laptop bags. For me, two bags, worked better. If you still want to single bag, how does Brain Bag [^] sounds?

my first luggable: www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/compaq/ first because I was using luggables all the way up to hyperthreads. outside of 18wheeled mobile platforms and luggables the first truly mobile solution I got my software working successfully on was a hyperthread alienware gaming laptop.

My trusty Targus XL[^] might just be man enough for the job. I can't test it properly as I only have the one 17" laptop, but the main compartment is pretty big - I used to carry about the laptop, and its accompaniments plus a largish book, notepad, pens etc. Two power supplies, mice and etc. might pose more of a problem, although there are many pockets. Watch out you don't do your back; one 17" laptop is heavy enough, two sounds spine crushing.

I just picked up an XL for my new 18.4" Acer and it fits very nicely. Having the two shoulder straps (since it's a backpack-type case) is monumentally easier on your back than the single shoulder strap that normal courier-type bags give you.

It's a great bag. Mine has given many year's durable service and even assisted when some prat tried to mug me - it's amazing what a deterrent 20lbs of bag to the face followed by a swift quick to the groin and the breaking of an arm is :D

Also cool. I didn't own an Osbourne, but recall having one for some reason at one point. The clone I had at the time had an NEC V20, which could deal with Z80/8080 machine code, and I think I managed to run a Z80 based compiler on some kermit source code on the clone and get the binary running on the Osborne, which I thought was pretty cool. With later advances in medication, I was released under supervision and have, I think, been doing quite well.

I've got this 17" laptop bag[^], and it has two laptop-sized pockets. The back one has a divider that has velcro so that it can adjust to smaller laptops, but if you take it off it will be a full 17 inches. I've carried two laptops in it before, but have only tried a 17" laptop and a 15.4" laptop. As long as the laptops aren't really thick they should fit nicely (my 17" is almost 2" thick). The other concern would be the shoulder strap - while this one is strong, it will be an awful lot of weight. You might also find that ergonomically, a backpack works better.

And just how long did it take for your arm to heal? :)

I don't know... the hovercraft option sounds like a lot more fun than a bus.

I use a middle of the road Swiss Army Knife brand backpack, it has a sleeve I put the company laptop in, a 17", and I put the 15.4" laptop next to it in the back. There is still more than enough room for my USB hard disk, two chargers, 4 paper backs, 4 medium hard back books, a car GPS, 5 pounds of change, 2 mp3 players, two headsets, usb charger cables all around, a mp3 to aux input cable, a plug expander and assorted pens, note pads, reading glass in a case, etc. Oh, and the most important thing, there is still room for my herniated disk and all the advil I need to not feel it. Plus it it slings over my shoulders to keep my hands free to deal with stuff.
