North Face Recon – great laptop backpack
One of the things I learned when I was an intern during college was that saddle-style laptop bags were really bad for your back.
For the last few years, I’ve been using a North Face Recon with a laptop sleeve as my laptop transport of choice.
Recently I bought the North Face Recon 2.0 bag and WOW this is a fantastic laptop bag. The section where the laptop is held is suspended, reducing possible impact when you set the bag down. The back of the backpack is also really breathable, and the number of pockets and locations are pretty good.
Also, it doesn’t look super dorky/geeky/stealme like so many other laptop backpacks.
Give it a try if you’re looking for a bag. It’s available everywhere, and in a whole bunch of colors too!

By ’saddle-style’ do you mean the over-one-shoulder, courier type bags? If so, no wonder my back has been bothering me!

Yeah. Messenger bags.
Also, fancy bags with just a handle – like those super nice briefcases.
No wonder so many lawyers use rolling ones today (since they can’t been seen with backpacks I suppose…)
