A netbook is a small portable laptop computer designed for wireless communication and Internet access. Primarily designed for web browsing and e-mailing, netbooks are perfect for keeping informed while on the go. Just because they’re small and inexpensive doesn’t mean you want them bouncing around in an over-sized laptop bag or compartment- they deserve their own special case.

With several options from trusted brands like Case Logic and Sumdex, Luggage Online is now offering a selection of great netbook cases. Just like their big sister- the laptop case- they are available in a basic sleeve or in a briefcase style…only smaller.

This sling by Case Logic is a simple and convenient option. With a top carry handle, as well as a long cross body or shoulder strap, there are multiple carrying options. A detailed front organizer pocket will hold your phone, mp3 player, USB, wallet…etc.

No frequent business traveler would be caught dead without the right business luggage. The right bag can make the trip a truly productive and enjoyable experience. (minus the hassle of airport security and the airlines) Let’s look at the options for the corporate road warrior as they are very different than the typical vacation traveler.

The Briefcase

The briefcase is slowly dying as the standard business travel accessory, but some tried and true travelers still carry them. If you do not carry a laptop, or have switched to a netbook for your computing needs, a briefcase may be the way to go. Manufacturers like Samsonite and Kenneth Cole still carry a nice selection of briefcases with modern style and functionality.

The Laptop Bag

For those of you with a laptop, your choices are many. To just protect your laptop, you can use a laptop sleeve or a small laptop bag. The newest trend is laptop messenger bags which can be thrown over the shoulder for easy carry through the airport. They can be had in leather or various other fabrics in a wide variety of colors.

If you want to eliminate checking bags, then a wheeled overnight laptop bag is the ticket for you. These bags have ample room for your laptop and 1 - 3 days worth of clothing. Make sure to check carry-on sizes before shopping for this style of bag.
