Backpack Type Laptop Bags: Expandable And Secure
Brenthaven’s $100 Expandable Trek Backpack is a convenient bag for 15-inch laptop models. It will hold more gear then you can expect.
The Expandable Trek has 19-inches height by 15.5-inch width by either 9- or 11-inch depth, so it’s really a large pack. These backpack type laptop bags are made of thick nylon, and the laptop sleeve is with thin side padding and 2 thick layers of padding on the bottom.
Compared to other Brenthaven bags, the Expandable Trek feels really sturdy and well-made, with a lifetime guarantee included. In spite of this size and construction, the bag has just over 3 pounds empty, less than other large backpacks I’ve seen.
The interior has gray tone for easier items search inside. The main compartment (with the laptop sleeve) gets 6-inch depth of additional space; 4 non-zippered pouches inside to help organize small items.
The bag’s organizer compartment has a fairly small opening, but the compartment itself has a good amount of space, several pouches for an iPhone or iPod, pens and so on. A small rubber hole is a good addition to connect your headphones to an iPhone or iPod inside the bag. There is a small, elastic pouch below the hole on the outside for storing earbuds, as well as two vertical zippered pouches on both sides of organizer compartment for a snack or accessories.
If it seems to have not enough space for you, there is another zipper, stretching across the top and all the way up each side of the bag. So you can unzip this and thus get approximately 3 inches.
A nice feature is the outer mesh net for a jacket or bike helmet. When you don’t use this net, store it in a small bottom pocket. Several reflective strips with a horizontal, nylon strap make a good rear bike light.
So these backpack type laptop bags are ideal for backpack fans who need enough space for gear and protection for their laptops.

5 Pirates Gadgets Jack Sparrow Should Have
All hands ahoy! Johnny Depp, who plays a fictional captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean, has at his command a wonderful ship called the Black Pearl, crew aboard, rum, women, etc. And we think he craves for new adventures and treasures and nothing more. Keep in mind, he is a man, who can have up-to-date devices recording his best life moments and sometimes browse them at leisure. Imagine just for awhile… if Captain Jack Sparrow had one of the below presented gizmos!
1. Black Pirate Toaster with printed the Jolly Roger on it
It would be very nice if Jack had this household device aboard. Don’t pay attention to the absence of electricity. Toasts with depicted Jolly Rogers would be a great success those times.
2. What about TV? There are plenty of couch potatoes nowadays. Probably a bad habit to watch the boob tube many hours running in succession could arose long ago. Runat, a Japanese company that usually produces audio/video devices featuring Walt Disney characters, produced a 14-inch TVT/DVD combo with kompass-style remote, rudder-shaped DVD player, and a CD player disguised in a treasure box.
3. Music causes narcotic actions if you’re a real music lover. Undertaking a wild-cat, don’t forget to take along the Pirate Bay Edition iPod (20 Gb). Enjoy the best music with this portable device. Feel free to choose other ipod skins to your taste
4. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End Pix Max 3MP Digital Camera. Features up to 16 MB storage capacity, 1 1/2” Color LCD Display, built-in Auto flash and TV Output (NTSC and PAL) and direct printing to any printer with capacity. Its digital resolution of 3 megapixels provides high-performance pictures!
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End Wii. It’s just a game, but Jack knows how to go through a hard trial waiting in his way. Better to say, one has to go through fire and water to understand what a pirate’s life is.

Bizarre & pretentious laptops bags (part 1)
We let you know about different kinds of laptops you may give preference in order to look up-to-date being on the go all the time. Admittedly, loads of gadgets require for housings and bags as well as need care and surveillance to be save and sound all the time.
Laptops come and go. With the course of time they can become worthless. Those years have gone never to return. However, their form and design are rarely changed essentially. To begin with, we can cover them somehow specially and nobody will make out whether it your old device or the one you bought recently. Shortly, we have power over times.
Laptops’ bags and cases are the things we are talking today. People give preference to one or another weird and wonderful bag. Our choice depends on means, gadget’s features and taste.
Synthetic Human Skin Laptop Bags. HumanSkinBag is a synthetic human skin with a creased appearance giving an organic aspect to the range of clothing and accessories. Laptop bags made of human skin…think over! “The bags dedicated to electronic machines are waterproof and protective jackets and become autonomous organisms. They anticipate the fusion between the digital and the organic.” It measures approx. 39 x 29 cm or 14 x 11 in. and doubles as a regular carrying bag. I believe that $600 USD justifies the means.
Functional Boombox Messenger Bag. Let’s mix boombox with a laptop! What will we get? Of course, something awesome and strange. The designer, Cereallad @ Craftster, says - “Basically I hollowed out the boombox, added hinges and clasps, created a foam interior, created a strap attachment, and… well, attached a strap. Now it holds my ibook and one or two other books. With rudimentary electronics skills, I wired the boombox to play music from the laptop or from any ipod/walkman/etc that you place inside. I added a small amplifier that I found on some toy speakers to increase the sound volume and quality. Don’t worry, I respect others when I play music. It’s my school backpack first and foremost.”
Lenovo ThinkPad. The notebook features a dedicated blue-button for remote support via instant messaging. The leatherwork is done using the traditional Chinese saddle stitching techniques to ensure durability. The salient specs include a12.1-inch ultra-light screen, Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 processor, WWAN, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, external 80 GB USB hard drive, and about 7 hours of battery life. Superb!
Camouflage Bag. See nothing special or original?! Don’t take a gloomy view of thing! Surely, a military man will appreciate this olive bag at its true value. Golla Camouflage bag has foam-padded nylon sleeve inside, PVC-coated nylon with nylon lining and closes with a full-length front flap.
Buddhist Swastika Messenger Bag gladdens the eye due to a felicitous combination of swastika (well-being from Sanskrit) and yellow color (happiness and peace). Conceived a wish! I like other kinds of goods Buddhist offer us: hats, caps, tote bags.
Cedar Laptop Case. I hope Greenpeace won’t condemn this invention. Anyway, gourmets will see it in proper perspective. It’s not a secret that currently people show preference to old and rare devices. Such lovers of the antique decorate their offices and houses using various antique items. Wooden PCs, latops, PMPs, mobile phones spring up all over.
ISS Soyuz Laptop bag. You never know what you deal with. This company made this laptop bag that feature bits of landing parachute fabric from the 1990 Soyuz TM-8 Space mission, or the latest International Space Station Soyuz mission in April 2004. Have a look at other goods.
Chrome Domo Bullet-Proof Case. Wow, I’m not sure whether you have to buy this case or a shotgun for full safeguarding. Anyway, this bag is constructed with carbon fiber, kevlar and ballistic nylon. The bag will absolutely become an example of order and self-assertion which is the reason why it comes with a lifetime guarantee.
