Roller Bag Question

I did a little searching but couldn't really find what I was looking for.

I got a new computer that I would like to start bringing along with me. It's also time for a new roller bag. I have the luggage works 22" and am considering getting the same bag with the computer pouch. I can't find any clear information about the size computer it holds. I have a 17 inch (yeah, I know) Dell. A store that carries the bag says it holds a 14.1" screen measured diagonally, but someone on here said they could fit their 15" with room to spare. If anyone has this bag or can clear up the dimensions for me, I would appreciate it. I commute so I try to avoid carrying extra bags.
 
I had a couple friends that had that bag. They said they don't recommend it. the computer pouch takes up too much space. I would just get yourself a sleeve, and just pack in your bag instead.

Or you can be like me, look like an FA and carry 4 bags thru security. haha

Nothing is worse really..lol
 
I have the Luggage Works with the computer pouch and I also wouldn't recommend putting a laptop in there. I used to carry a seperate laptop bag with me and also got sick of that. I recently got one of those 10" netbooks for on the road and it works much better.
 
Thanks guys. I basically came to the same conclusion. I will just get a good sleeve and pack it. Having the Flight Attendant look when it comes to bags is what I wanted to avoid.
 
Laptop fits in my flight case. Good if you don't carry Jepps or have some extra space.
 
Hey thanks. That looks like a great solution. The laptop dimensions might be too small, but im definitely going to look into that bag.
 
I pack my 15" Dell laptop in the front pocket of my 22" Ebags rollaboard. It's still slim enough to fit in the overhead bin of a CRJ.

In the Age of the 707....


Those were the good ole days. Pilots back then were men that didn't want to be women or girly men. Pilots all knew who Jimmy Doolittle was. Pilots drank coffee, whiskey, smoked cigars and didn't wear digital watches.

They carried their own suitcases and brain bags like the real men that they were. Pilots didn't bend over into the crash position multiple times each day in front of the passengers at security so that some Gov't agent could probe for tweezers or fingernail clippers or too much toothpaste.

Pilots did not go through the terminal impersonating a caddy pulling a bunch of golf clubs, computers, guitars, and feed bags full of tofu and granola on a sissy-trailer with no hat and granny glasses hanging on a pink string around their pencil neck while talking to their personal trainer on the cell phone!!!

Being an Airline Captain was as good as being the King in a Mel Brooks movie. All the Stewardesses (aka. Flight Attendants) were young, attractive, single women that were proud to be combatants in the sexual revolution. They didn't have to turn sideways, grease up and suck it in to get through the cockpit door. They would blush and say thank you when told that they looked good, instead of filing a sexual harassment claim. Junior Stewardesses shared a room and talked about men.... with no thoughts of substitution.

Passengers wore nice clothes and were polite, they could speak AND understand English. They didn't speak gibberish or listen to loud gangsta rap on their iPods. They bathed and didn't smell like a rotting pile of garbage in a jogging suit and flip-flops. Children didn't travel alone, commuting between trailer parks. There were no Mongol hordes asking for a seatbelt extension, or a Scotch and grapefruit juice cocktail with a twist.

If the Captain wanted to throw some offensive, ranting jerk off the airplane, it was done without any worries of a lawsuit or getting fired.

Axial flow engines crackled with the sound of freedom and left an impressive black smoke trail like a locomotive burning soft coal. Jet fuel was cheap and once the throttles were pushed up they were left there, after all it was the jet age and the idea was to go fast (run like a lizard on a hardwood floor). Economy cruise was something in the performance book, but no one knew why or where it was. When the clacker went off no one got all tight and scared because Boeing built it out of iron, nothing was going to fall off and that sound had the same effect on real pilots then as Viagra does now for those new age guys.

There was very little plastic and no composites on the airplanes or the Stewardesses' pectoral regions. Airplanes and women had eye pleasing symmetrical curves, not a bunch of ugly vortex generators, ventral fins, winglets, flow diverters, tattoos, rings in their nose, tongues and eyebrows.

Airlines were run by men like C.R. Smith, Bob Six and Juan Trippe who had built their companies virtually from scratch, knew many of their employees by name and were lifetime airline employees themselves. . . not pseudo financiers and bean counters who flit from one occupation to another for a few bucks, a better parachute or a fancier title, while fervently believing that they are a class of beings unto themselves.

And so it was back then....and never will be again!

Sorry I could not pass it up.
 
Is that out of a book? or did you come up with that? Well written an age before the weakening of society! Kinda like the show Mad men.
 
The luggage works 22" + laptop isn't a great combo... it sticks out too far, especially if you're commuting.
