Im a Pack-Rat Geek!
So the folks over at Engadget posted the contents of there Laptop bags and what they carry around day to day to make there lives easier. I thought this was a great idea, I found some items in there bags that I didn’t have in mine that would make my life easier, so maybe mine will your’s (mostly likely not but us nerdy type are showoffs). For a geek, a laptop bag is like a woman’s purse: overprotected, stuffed full of shit you really dont need and at the same time, shit that really comes in handy.
I used to use a over the shoulder messenger style bag however I found that its space was limited and that it really can put a strain on one side of my back. A few days ago I decided to upgrade to the Ogio Street Politan Backpack style laptop carrying case (69.99 at best buy). My options were limited based on Best Buy’s selection as I have a 15.6″ 16:9 laptop and most of the backpack style cases accomidated laptops with 15.4″ screens, however the Ogio stated it would fit up to a 17″ laptop and looked nice and had the room I was looking for. I was impressed with cool options like a felt lined audio/mp3 player pouch with a cutout hole for a your headphones to run out of and listen to your tunes while the device is safely protected in your backpack, freeing up precious pocket space. It also had well padded shoulder straps and a durable build backed up by a lifetime warranty. Overall I’m happy with the quality and space of the new bag though I haven’t throughly put it through its paces.
As stated in the title and as shown in the photos, I AM A LAPTOP BAG PACKRAT!!! I carry an excessive amount of things like flashdrives for that “just in case” moment.

Are you as bad as me or am I the lone geek with a desk full of stuff in my bag??
Just wondering is there any reason why you carry two Android phones? It would at least be partially logical to carry an Android and something with a different OS.
Jknjfe Ppl like you get all the brains. I just get to say thanks for he answer.
