Thom Allen Loves His Powerpack
I have yet to find a laptop bag that I truly love, but that’s not the case for Thom Allen. He broke the shoulder connector on his previous Outdoor Products Powerpack Travel Laptop Backpack, and he went right out to buy another one because he loved it so much.
His favorite feature is the ability to charge his laptop without taking it out of the bag:
One of the really cool features of this pack is the ability to connect the power system to your laptop, internally, and plug the power cord into the wall without removing the laptop from the pack. This makes it nice if you’re traveling and want to recharge in airport or restaurant.
According to the reviews on Amazon, it looks like it’s a favorite. D. Camp writes:
I’ve bought three of these laptop backpacks and this is the best. Well-made, well organized, and lots of space. Seems durable, but haven’t used it enough to vouch for it. Will protect my laptop physically with its padded pouch, but also from theft. How? The backpack doesn’t yell out “I contain an expensive laptop” – it looks like a cheapo student bookbag. And you can’t beat the price. Highly recommended.
I would love to see pictures of that nifty inner pocket that allows you to charge your laptop without taking it out of the bag. Anyone able to send me one?
To answer your question Laura, yes, I’ve taken photos of how this looks. See my blog post about it here.
