The IT Nerd

My wife inherited my mid-2012 MacBook Pro and because this was her first portable computer, she needed a bag. So I took her to the iStore and after browsing around for a bit, My wife settled on the Herschel Strand Duffle bag. Here’s a look at the bag:

It looks like a traditional duffle bag that’s made of canvas. That’s great because it doesn’t look like a laptop bag.

Inside there’s a fair amount of storage for stuff as well as pockets for cables as displayed here. The lining is very nice as well.

There’s also a slot for a laptop up to 15″ in size. it’s padded on three sides. The back side near the outside of the bag isn’t as padded as the other sides.

So, how did my wife find it? Her comments include:

• Her work laptop is a Lenovo T440s which fits fine. But her mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15″ inch fits snugly.
• She can pop her gym clothes, umbrella, lunch and the like with room to spare.
• She wished the handles were longer because it makes it easier to sling over her shoulder.
• The inner pockets are really meant for cables and the like and not for “stuff.”
• She likes the “stealth” factor of the bag as it doesn’t look like a laptop bag and it appeals to her inner “girly girl.”
• It is well constructed and will stand up to daily usage.
• Speaking of daily usage, she can use this bag even when she is not carrying a laptop.

She really had nothing negative to say about it. In terms of price, she got it for $79.99 CDN. If you want a laptop bag that doesn’t look like a laptop bag, give the Herschel Strand Duffle bag a look.
