Back when cellphones were newfangled items, I went crazy over the array of casings available. You could have a pink phone one day and a blinged-out zebra print one the next. It was just … fun having all these colors and varieties to choose from.
Unfortunately, such an opportunity to display female fickle-mindedness comes rarely to other gadgets, such as laptops, for example. So we make do with colorful laptop sleeves, stickers, bags and other accessories available.
Now, though, Fujitsu Siemens unveils its Amilo Mini with interchangeable lids. We all know it’s an intelligent way to get us consumers to cough up a bit more dough, but it’s still fun. Check out the video to see how it works:
Remember this laptop sleeve I bought from NOYP? I just found the best bag to match it.
Here’s Kikay Shop’s Sacs N Packs laptop bag in Cassandra. I’m a big fan of vertical stripes, especially if they’re this pretty. Made from a combination of faux shantung and croc leather, this bag is sure to turn heads. It has none of the stiff, black, all-business demeanor of the usual laptop bag, so you’ll be sure to stand out in a crowd.
It’s not just pretty, too. The Cassandra comes with a detachable shoulder strap for heavier loads and fit both PCs and Macs with 17″ screens. Plus no one will ever know it’s a laptop you’re carrying, what with the sassy flair it exudes.
Check out the Kikay Shop now for more information.
From the makers of the lovely NOYP laptop sleeves comes another sturdy and stylish way to carry your beloved notebooks around.
Cathy’s Bags offers the Marlene — a solid laptop bag with thick cushioning that ensures top-notch protection for your Macbook or PC. Though it comes in the usual black, the Marlene is also available in quirky colors and combinations such as Pink/Zebra, Lemon/Zebra, Brown/Croc and Red/Croc. Personally, I’m not really fond of animal prints. With the Marlene, though, just a touch of the print provides sharp contrast and interesting detail to the off-beat colors.
My personal favorite is the Pink/Zebra, mainly because I love pink, and also because the zebra stripes stand out and make the bag much more interesting.
It’s not that I need everything extremely neat — or maybe I do. Anyway, I’m obsessed with keeping white things white, apart from keeping refrigerator doors closed, rubik cubes solved and charts perfect. It’s a disease.
Anyway, owning a pretty white Macbook has thrown my otherwise structured life into an abyss.
I keep fighting the urge to clean it every single minute, because every minute speck of dust just glares out like some challenger trying to drive me insane. I want to scrub it into a pristine state, but it would take constant cleaning and gloved hands to achieve that.
If you’re every inch just as obsessive-compulsive as I am, I’m sure you’re always on the prowl for stylish yet functional laptop sleeves to protect your expensive little baby.
I bought my beloved Macbook (christened “MacLovin”) a few months back, and finding a good laptop sleeve that can protect my darling was first in the order of battle.
One thing about having a laptop is that you’ll be pretty much dragging it all over town. Otherwise, there’s just no point. A desktop would be sufficient. Now let’s say you do need (and want!) a laptop. You have to find a sleeve that can help protect it from the stresses that constant travel can cause. It has to be thick enough and snug enough to keep your laptop — and the data inside it — safe.
Most of the sleeves I find tend to be expensive; they look chunky, too stiff and are often boring to boot. Being the fashionable geek that I am, I wanted something that made sense but still looked pretty enough to lug around.
