Laptop Traveling

Posted by Chris under Apple, Technology, Travel, Uncategorized

Well I’ve just found out I’m either way ahead of the curve or just keeping up in regards to travel. For two years all my stuff went into my Dakine Terminal Backpack but most recently I’ve been using the Timbuk2 commuter (in large). Both are great packs for traveling with a laptop, all assoc. cords, ipod phone, papers, magazine, etc.

*note to self I’ll have to do some unpack shots of all the stuff in my pack*

Anyway this is great until you find yourself at the airport and you have to take your laptop out. That’s where I’ve been using a Incase Neoprene sleeve to protect my MacBook Pro for the last couple of years. Funnily or luckily as the case may be I almost never have to take it out of the case. And strangely when I do have to go sans incase it’s only been at smaller airports (Louisville and Charlotte) but not in Heathrow, Chicago, New York or Miami.

But I guess it’s all about to be legit or at least official. According to the NY Times the “TSA has given the go-ahead for passengers to use newly designed carry-on bags that will let them pass through security without having to take their laptops out for the X-ray inspection”

Not sure if my Incase is “official” but it’s been working for me and I hope to continue to use it.
