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:

this one:

and this one:

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

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

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.
