If you use public transport and walk a great deal, I would definitely go with a backpack. Some laptops are heavy. I use an Inspiron 7500 and to carry that with a backup drive, power adapter, disks, papers, diary or pda + is heavy and I want that on my back, not tugging at my side. If i'm carrying it to a car (or motorcycle- my other option) I don't care. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Appleby" <rob@robertappleby.com> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 6:38 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Laptop and camera bag > No - the Hadley is not suitable for laptops - I say that with confidence as > you will have to protect the computer somehow if you use the Hadley sans > padding, and it will then become far too bulky and is unlikely to fit > anyway.
