If you want to bring your laptop with you on a trip, to work or school, you should think about
protecting your laptop. You should not simply just shove your laptop into a regular bookbag
or briefcase, where it can easily get scraped and possibly damaged. There are laptop bags
that you can buy to provide proper protection for your laptop. Laptop bags are specifically
designed for laptops with traveling in mind. This article will talk about the best new laptop
bags released on the market for laptops.

The Barcelona is designed by Zegari. This is a very stylish and well designed laptop bag.
There are two pockets outside with the front protected by a flap where you can place
documents, papers, etc. There is a side pocket where you can slide your cellphone in
neatly. The main compartment inside the Barcelona is well padded but with enough space
to slide in your laptop. The Barcelona also have a comfortable adjustable leather shoulder
strap.
Zephyr
The Zephyr is made by Tom Bihn and is brilliantly designed. The bag is made of ballistic
nylon and you can order your Zephyr in a set of a variety of colors. The bag has 3 pockets
outside for quick access to any objects you may need to pull out immediately. Inside of the
Zephyr there are 3 dividers to organize different items. The inside is nicely padded to give
your laptop a nice snug protection. The bag has a absolute shoulder strap that is very
comfortable and will not tear into your shoulder.

bag to use if you travel a lot, especially for business trips. The Racer X has a corporate look
and feel to it. The bag have a black nylon exterior, and two separate compartments for a

Laptop Growth, Evolution And Review
Since 2005, the sales of laptops have displaced those of desktop PCs in the United States.
Due a constant drop in price rapid technical improvements and the swift evolution and
extension of the WAN technology, notebooks are destined to replace desktops in most
areas both professionally and at home.
Laptops will account for more than half of the worldwide PC shipments by 2011, according
to a new report by IDC.
According to the Gartner Group, worldwide some 257.1 million PCs will ship this year, and
60 percent of them will be desktops. PC growth for 2007 should be around 7% while laptops
will grow by 18.6% and will continue to maintain a double digit growth at least until 2010.
Desktop sales are still strong in the EMEA and Latin America with about 60% of all
shipments.
In more mature markets notebooks have taken over and continue to grow at a much faster
pace. This would hardly shocking news.
Notebooks take up much less space than desktops, they're portable, and given their
relatively low cost compared to a few years ago, you can just buy a new one when you
decide you want to upgrade.
Specific reasons of the evolution from desktop to laptop:
- Price: While laptops are still more expensive than desktops for the same power/capacity,
the gap is constantly narrowing. In 2000 you could expect to pay almost double for a laptop
comparable to average desktop priced around $1,000. In 2007, you can expect a $300 to
$500 difference depending on brands.
- Power: The same applies here. Even in the early 2000s, any heavy database user or
serious gamer would not hesitate one second in between a desktop or a laptop. While there
is still an advantage for desktop, this barrier has come down drastically; in fact many IT
departments have migrated to laptops and only the most serious queries are run on servers.
The same applies to gamers where only the most demanding games need to be run on the
most advanced desktop. For the average user using office and going online the desktop
have no specific advantages
- WiFi/Portability: The explosion of wifi spots is a decisive factor that explains the migration
to laptops. Years ago, laptops where generally used because you could take them with you

3. when traveling, nowadays in many areas you can work while traveling (airports, trains,
restaurants, coffee shops') are among the location where you can actually go online at a
very comfortable speed. You can even use such tool as Skype with a wireless laptop and
have video conference anywhere you have WiFi access.
In addition, laptops are continually getting lighter and screen sizes bigger. Most new laptops
come with 17 inch screens and weigh under 7 pounds. Those with 15 inch monitors
generally weigh under 5 pounds. You can buy them new starting below $400'
The desktop will not go away anytime soon, they will slowly evolve in a different market
demand such as Media PC environment (TV tuner, DVR, radio, music) for the home or used
as back up device for your laptop. Chances are that when it is time to replace your DVD
player you will may buy a PC and you will also get use to download TV shows on your
computer and watch them on your TV.
What's next for laptops?
- On one hand they will continue to improve in the traditional 'way' catching up with the
desktops in term of power and capacity and slowly replacing desktop for most needs.
- Another aspect is the extra portability evolution already underway with mini laptops,
palmtops, tablet PCs and touch screen laptops. Combining extreme portability and WiFi,
these mini laptops will replace gradually paper and pads, order sheets, notebooks and
others... As you write or type any information on your mini laptop (orders, notes, drawings,
questionnaires'.) you have the ability to immediately save, sync or communicate the results.
