Backpack or ugly ballistic nylon briefcase?

[SirWilliam]

I got a new laptop from the IT department and it is bigger than my old one so I have to select from two bags. I am eventually going to use my Filson 258 after I get an office farther away from the IT department...but for now as not not upset IT I get to pick one of the following:

I like the backpack much better than the other case but it seems unprofessional to use a backpack.

I made a similar choice and got the ugly nylon briefcase, albeit in a lighter colour.

I don't think I understand why IT would be offended if you transported the laptop in a stylish case.

 

[SirWilliam]

They would say it is not well protected...they are not against it being stylish.

A laptop messenger bag, perhaps?

 

[SirWilliam]

A sleeve was not an option. I guess I could buy one.

 

[SirWilliam]

I do not like messenger bags...I need to have something with a handle.

Why not both? Your IT guys will bond with you like your their brah if you walk around like that.

Carry your Cup 'o Noodles and Gatorade in the one that your don't use for your laptop.

 

[SirWilliam]
