Messenger bags aren't just for toting books and folders; a well designed one such as the Brenthaven Fusion MB can securely house laptops and needed accessories. A front organizer panel, netted interior pockets, and two major outside compartments offer several gear storage opportunities. When maxed out, the bag can be expanded another 20 percent with some quick zipper work. The ballistic nylon shell and removable CORE Light system protects 12- to 15.4-inch notebooks by enveloping them in adjustable, cushioned walls.
