Under $25: Built Laptop Portfolio Case

Associate Editor Michelle Schusterman puts her cheap new laptop bag to a test.

I paid for my final bag in Salvador in a summer of 2007. It served as both my laptop box as well as book bag as we taught English in Brazil, kindergarten in Korea, as well as proposed a freelance writing career that saw many, most cafes. Last month, after a walk home during that we left a route of nickels as well as batteries that would have Hansel proud, we motionless it was time for a new bag.

The problem: Im fairly violent to my laptop bags, so we wanted a single that would last. But Im also cheap.

So we got upon Amazon as well as searched for laptop bags by price. What we came up with was a Built Laptop Portfolio Case with tax as well as Amazons free shipping, my sum came to $24.95.

First impression out of a box? This is a tackiest shade of immature Ive ever seen. And please know we meant that in a great approach Im not a basic black bag kind of person. (But if you are, a bag comes in black or brownish-red for a same price.)

My Macbook fit really snugly inside, as well as even my bulky cord didnt bulge out a front as well much. Theres no zippers or pockets inside, as well as a front has a single large pocket with snaps upon possibly side. The tag is adjustable, so this can work as a follower bag (which is how we prefer it).

The element is neoprene, like wetsuits kind of squashy feeling. A couple of days ago it was during my feet along with a water bottle, that spilled as well as dripping a outward of my case. When we eventually beheld a couple of minutes later as well as pulled my laptop out, a inside was completely dry. Since afterwards Ive traipsed around during festivals in a sleet with my bag installed down with notebooks, cameras as well as pita sandwiches. No water repairs has been done.

This wasnt a freebie product we was given to review; we paid for it as well! as Im w riting this review since we know finding a great laptop box for underneath $15 is tough. This a single is light as well as sleek, as well as binds 13 as well as 15 Macbooks as well as 14 PCs. If you give it a shot, let me know what you think in a comments!

An article at Forbes discusses research done that correlates meditation and happiness . First, a Harvard University study has shown that wandering minds are an attribute of unhappy people. 2250 volunteers (ages 18-88, from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds and occupations) were used in the study they were contacted at random intervals by the researchers and asked what they were currently doing and what they were actually thinking about. almost half of the time (46.9%) people were thinking about something else.
