Whats a good female-specific purse/laptop bag for a 13″ Macbook?
I suggest you check out etsy.com. Not because I know there’s a fantastic bag that perfectly suits you there, but because I found a really excellent, and excellent-looking, laptop bag there when I was looking for one for my SO. It was just streets ahead of anything from a computer store or overpriced-funky-bag company. My SO’s bag was from the apparently-slightly-famous Janine King Designs: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=78675 …who may or may not have something to suit you. There’s a ton of random Fimo/knitted/blah stuff on Etsy that’s of little use to anyone, but there are also some quite serious small businesspeople who specialise in things like this.
I have several bags for my new 13″ macbook, but my favorite is my funky-looking green Built cargo laptop sleeve — the neoprene makes for excellent padding, and it has 3 pockets – a big one for the power brick, a medium one for your ipod, and a little one for your headphones or USB stick. Even loaded up with peripherals it’s very slim, which makes transporting it in my hand luggage or backpack very easy.
