I'm curious as to why people are carrying laptops to and from work. Are you working at home for free?
Workers arise! You have nothing to lose but your laptops.
Actually, right now I'm post-layoff, but in my former salaried position, overtime was not paid, and the time required to accomplish the project goals was the expectation. The pay was not meager, for that commitment. But right now I'm not really commuting, rather using local coffee shops as places to work on my resume and my committee work.
I hope to start up a consulting business, so I'd like a bag I can also plausibly use as a walking briefcase. I already know I don't like to carry my stuff in a standard one-handed briefcase.
In my former job I'd have liked that 60km per day, about the same as me (well it would have been around 85, really), but the available routing was terrible.
