The best laptop bag ever?

Last week I took delivery of my new Cactus laptop bag just in time for Webstock. My usual bag is a Braun Buffel leather bag (which I love) but I didn’t think it would cut it with 2 days of lugging around laptop, notebooks etc.I’ve had many bags before this one, including Tenba and STM, but I have to say the Cactus bag is by far the best. Not only is the bag totally capacious, it’s easy to use. Even with a heavy load (15″ Powerbook and lots of paper/notepads), it felt great on the shoulder. My customer-experience with Cactus as a company and the bag itself has been awesome.Here’s a couple of photo’s of what it looks like on the shoulder and the internals:cactusbag.jpgOne possible way the bag could be improved is by putting a large ’sleeve’ on the back of the bag so it can slip over the handle of a small trolley case when traveling.I really like the fact that it has a cool and funky look while at the same time being quite understated. The small Cactus logo is cool, as is the small green Koru detail.Would I recommend it? Definately.
