Talk about frustration! Most of you know I picked up a 17 inch laptop recently. Well for a temporary carrying solution I picked up a backpack style bag for about $30. I've discovered I really don't like the backpack style so I started searching for what I wanted in an expandable, leather shoulder carry.
Since I want a little extra room I type in 18" (18 inch/eighteen inch, etc) laptop bag (case, etc) and the results come up with all different sizes not 18" specifically. Not only not 18" specifically there are 2000 + listings to search through and most appear to be 16" or smaller!
If I add the specifics I want or search with parentheses it gets even worse, nothing is found.
Now somehow I get lucky on an E-Bay search and find the exact bag I want, 18" expandable, shoulder carry soft briefcase style constructed of distressed brown leather. Then I see the price.I am not paying $420 F#*%ing bucks for a f*#%ing laptop bag!!!!!!!!!!
Here is one for $5.00 . Has the cushioned sides on it, and practically indestructable. Further, because it looks like a cardboard box, no one will try to steal it from you.
==========
On the serious side, here are some leather computer bags for under a $100.
