hi Dave Taylor here and this time I want
0:12
to talk about bags well let's start with
0:14
a backpack I'm looking at two bags from
0:17
a company called case logic and fair
0:19
disclosure the company is actually not
0:21
located very far from our offices in
0:23
Boulder Colorado but I don't like them
0:26
because of their location I like them
0:28
because of their bags so this first one
0:30
we're gonna look at is the lodo which
0:32
actually is a nickname for a region of
0:34
Denver but we won't worry about that and
0:36
it's actually kind of a really cool
0:38
backpack has all the things you'd expect
0:41
padding and zipper pockets and all this
0:45
but it also has magnetic catches on some
0:48
of these you can see it's a very nice
0:50
style but what's really kind of
0:52
interesting is the top actually opens up
0:55
it's like this big mouth top and then
0:57
there's lots of space inside I know it's
0:59
not super easy for you to see so let's
1:02
put some things in first off my tablet
1:06
comes in a very nice tablet holding area
1:09
or compartment that's padded and then
1:13
15-inch MacBook fits right in there and
1:16
so now you can see a little bit better
1:18
is that the laptop goes in here and then
1:22
here's the tablet area and then there's
1:25
a zippered compartment in here there's
1:27
really lots of space space for books
1:30
power cables all that and of course on
1:32
the outside you have a compartment up
1:35
here and down here you have a zippered
1:39
compartment and in there you have
1:42
compartments and you know I'm saying all
1:44
this and I'm thinking who the heck needs
1:45
that many compartments I do I actually
1:48
use different computer bags and it turns
1:50
out that I actually organize things
1:52
pretty well oh and then there's these
1:54
also these magnetic flap compartments so
1:56
more places to put stuff so very very
2:00
nice and what else can I tell you about
2:02
it is it has let's see it's a really
2:07
really nice finish to it and this is in
2:10
petrol green the low dough
2:12
and let's see high quality cotton canvas
2:16
exterior and it's nicely padded and
2:21
structured you can probably barely see
2:24
here is that there's a cord here if
2:28
you're one of those people that likes to
2:29
have it strap around your front in
2:31
addition then they have you covered
2:33
there but just like this this is a
2:35
pretty easy way to carry all this gear
2:37
so this is the load oh this is the
2:40
smaller one that still carries my
2:42
15-inch MacBook and it's in petrol green
2:45
very nice but let's pull stuff out
2:47
because this unit it's eighty nine
2:51
ninety nine at Case Logic comm the load
2:54
oh but I also want to look at one of
2:56
their other ones so I'm gonna pull out
2:57
these and then this bag will put aside
3:01
because we have another one so this is
3:05
more of a briefcase style right with
3:07
little handles and everything and this
3:09
is called the huxton this is the huxton
3:11
15.6 inch laptop bag and i want to show
3:15
you because it has two different
3:17
compartments on top right and the
3:20
compartment for your laptop and
3:22
everything is actually again very nicely
3:25
padded and I can also slip my tablet in
3:28
here in another padded area and then I
3:31
have a that's the front section and then
3:34
the other side I still have available
3:38
for all sorts of other stuff maybe a
3:39
books some notes
3:41
maybe my cords go in here and then
3:45
there's some other neat features they
3:47
really pay attention here so this you're
3:50
wondering what's this strap for it's for
3:52
roll on luggage right you lift the
3:54
handle up you slip this over the handle
3:56
and I got one less thing to carry as you
3:58
go through the airport and on this side
4:00
if we open up these there are two little
4:04
pockets on the front two which could be
4:07
perfect for oh I don't know things like
4:09
maybe that power cord for your phone or
4:12
your smart device very nice it's you
4:16
know obviously I have the same amount of
4:17
stuff in as I do with the backpack so
4:19
it's not the lightest thing in the world
4:21
with all my gear in it but it's very
4:22
easy easy to carry it comes with
4:25
shoulder strap which you can adjust I
4:27
don't have that out hooked up right now
4:29
but you can see there's the little Handy
4:31
loops here that you can connect it to
4:34
and then you get to swing it over your
4:36
shoulder very nice it's slim elegant
4:38
this is the huxton 15.6 inch and this
4:44
one runs $54.99 again at Case Logic comm
4:47
so between this and the load o green
4:50
backpack I got to say Case Logic
4:53
probably has you covered in the kind of
4:55
bag that you need to have more - they
4:57
have messenger bags they have bags for
5:00
your cameras they have all sorts of
5:02
stuff I really really like their
5:04
products I like the materials it has a
5:07
real nice feel to it and I have to say
5:09
that with padding in your computer bag
5:11
this turns out to be really important
5:13
years ago I had one where it slipped off
5:15
my shoulder and hit concrete and it
5:18
actually damaged my computer so ever
5:20
since then I've been very paranoid about
5:22
the padding in the bag that protects my
5:25
devices so I'm a big case logic fan and
5:29
I hope that these to show you why this
5:31
is Dave Taylor and I guess now that I'm
5:34
all packed up I need to go somewhere so
5:36
I will catch you in my next video
