Inc. Magazine Has “The Goods”
By AndyG | November 19, 2009
I don’t read a ton of magazines, but Inc. magazine is one that I read cover to cover each month. In both its feature articles and its recurring columns, the magazine does a great job of promoting and celebrating entrepreneurs, small-business owners and the innovative products and services they’re passionate about. One of my favorite sections is called “The Goods” in which they highlight a handful of consumer products each month. Many times the featured products include electronics and other “cool” gadgets, but in a recent issue, the column focused on something a little closer to home for me – laptop bags.
The May 2009 issue highlighted four different laptop bags that each serve a unique purpose. Of the four that were highlighted, my two favorites are the Nuo Tech and Travelon bags. Nuo Tech also makes messenger bags and totes, but the real stars are the laptop bags which were designed by Project Runway winner, Chloe Dao. Nuo Tech describes the bags as “a unique play on colors, geometry and shapes to create fashion forward designs without any boundaries.” Even though I don’t fall in the target demographic for the bags (they are geared toward female consumers), I still think the collection has some of the coolest designs on the market.
As for Travelon, well, if you’ve ever read my bio at LuggagePros.com you know I love Travelon’s Checkpoint Friendly Laptop Bags. Not sure about everyone else, but I can think of a lot better ways to spend my time than in a security checkpoint cattle call at the airport, so if there’s a product that can help me get through quicker I’m going to use it. For those that aren’t familiar with the term ‘checkpoint friendly’, it means that when using one of these products you don’t have to take your laptop out of your bag and put it into its own tray. Rather, your laptop and case are viewed in a single, unobstructed image by the TSA screener allowing you breeze through airport security. Pretty cool stuff.
If these bags don’t do it for you, don’t worry, check out our site for hundreds of other options that might meet your specific needs and personal taste.
