Something vertical
So this, this would be love.
A vertical laptop shoulder bag for us snappy mac users with the bigger than 12"ers. All the horizontal bags are lovely, but, when you get a big flat laptop in them, they become unstable and uncomfortable in "active lifestyle" activities. And a backpack (often the "vertical laptop format") is sometimes too "coligiate" to be as versatile as it could be. The styling of the "European Men's Bag" would be ideal... snappy and professional, without being a briefcase.
I adore the cafe bags in almost every way, but there is just not enough height. Maybe add a padded built in sleeve on the back of the main compartment, increase the bag by an extra 1.5", and then a zip on the top flap for stuff you need quick easy access to. Cut out a slightly deeper arc in the front of the compartment to keep the bag from feeling "too deep/dark" in the "stuff compartment" and you'd win all the prizes.
Thanks for listening, I'd love to see it happen!
(Ps, I read the later posts that said that a big vertical bag would look silly -- and it might... but if you keep the pockets and the external 'gorp and frou frou' to a minimum, or utilize a 2 tone color scheme, you might help us shorties get away with what we want... since all I want to carry is a laptop, a book, an ipod, a cell phone, and only a little bit of flotsam...)
