Posts with tag laptop accessories

We've covered all sorts of accessories for our tech-ish lifestyles, and we've cetainly given love to those things that help us stylishly carry our laptops. However, if you're a MacBook carrying Apple lover, then you might not want to hide your baby in a bag. Case-Mate makes these cool little things called Handle-It that attach to either a MacBook or a PowerBook, allowing you to carry just your laptop and show off the sleekness of the machine of itself.

The Handle-It also "doubles as a passive heat sink with fins, promoting better airflow," and allowing "your laptop to run cooler, maximizing it's performance." When you're not carrying your laptop around, the handle converts into a stand. When the laptop sits on the desktop, the Handle-It folds under and converts into an ergonomic stand.

Case-Mate also has other leather accessories for laptops, PDAs, and iPods.

Back when I was hauling my laptop from city to city, I did what probably would have given my company's IT director the equivalent of a network coronary - I would literally throw my laptop into an oversized purse, completely unprotected. I just didn't want to carry those horribly plain black nylon laptop bags that were also just begging to be mixed up with another person's.

I don't have to carry the laptop from place to place anymore, but if I did, I'd love to carry one of these laptop bags from Abbi New York. Because it's a laptop bag, it's lightweight but strong, and protects your computer (unlike allowing the poor thing to jostle around in my oversized handbag with my wallet, makeup, and other purse goodies). There are three collections: "Prints" that are printed silk brocade like the Jade pictured, "Classics" that includes leather and faux leather, and "Sequined." The bags range in price from $90 for the silk prints up to $250 for the white leather Valerie bag that is my personal favorite.

You can buy the bags from the Abbi New York website, but I've also seen the bags on sites like eBags.
