Have 17″ laptop? Need a good travel bag?

I LOVE to fly and my experience with layovers in airports has taught me that wheels are a necessity. (Or I should pack less in my carry on - but that probably won’t happen!). Flying out of rural America means lots of connections & I want to be able to shop comfortably in the Denver airport. Seriously - they have some great shops there! My favorite is the jewelry store…
So how do you protect your laptop when you fly? It’s unthinkable to leave it home! When I went to New Orleans last summer for work, I LOVED having my work laptop with to check on local sites, restaurants & menu prices online. Granted I had prepared in advance, I still wanted to connect online. (yes - I AM addicted). Now I have this 17″ laptop (my investment) & I wanted something with wheels.
After doing some research online - I purchased this Contour Roller by Kensington (model 62348). There are more images at the website.

If you like zippers & pockets & a place for everything! This is for you. I am very tall at 5′8″ and the telescoping handle at 3/4 is perfect, so extend it all the way & it would be great for men too! When you put the telescoping handle down, it tidyly zips out of site. My 17″ laptop fits in snugly & there would be room to carry up to two EHD’s - can we say digiscrapping crops? The person that designed this bag did a great job!

How much you say? Well that’s the amazing part - it can be purchased for $60-100 and the reviews are phenomonal. (I do a lot of online purchasing - did I mention I’m geographically challenged? :) quite rural — and read reviews). It’s available at Amazon, Circuit City & ebags.com

Happy travels to you. Mine will hit the skies soon!
