PocketPCTools Review Victorinox Mini-Backpack
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 12:00 AM
"Like all mobile techno-geeks I'm always looking for the right bag to carry my gadgets while stumbling out in the streets. When I first got the Toshiba e-800 and later the Sony U-70 I was using a JanSport field bag that I picked up years ago in a Discovery Channel store in the mall. Not very chic, and didn't hold very much, but it worked OK. My wife calls it my "man purse" and generally made fun of it so I had my eye out for a replacement that would work better and carry all my stuff. I found a good solution for me at a Bag N Baggage store in the local mall. I've always liked Victorinox stuff as it's usually very well made and rugged. They're the Swiss Army Knife people, if you're wondering why that name is familiar. The bag I settled on is the Mini-Backpack by Victorinox."
The PocketPCTools review sees Jkendric giving the Victorinox backpack a good going over. The photos showing all the ways to carry this versatile bag are interesting and they do indicate the scale of the bag well. It's rather small in case you were wondering. :wink: Still, Jkendric manages to pack a Sony U-70, a Fellowes Stowaway keyboard, cell phone, Keys, a Toshiba e800, a Canon S-50 camera and a whole lot more into it. I usually carry a larger ransack around with me when I need to carry a similar full day's worth of gadgets, but this does look an interesting more compact alternative. What storage solutions do you guys use for similar situations? The final endorsement in the review just goes to show that this bag just isn’t suitable for Brad :wink: :
"My wife likes this above all other gadget bags I've tried as this one is less geeky."
