Python XL Model Booq Bag

Several years ago, when 17″ laptops were still novel and new, i launched a quest to find a stylish, functional and expansive backpack.  This pack would need to be well-suited to carry both my standard collegiate fair, and also my Dell XPS behemoth, an external drive, bluetooth wireless headset, surge protector and occasionally the odd digital camera, toothbrush and a pair or two of undies (not the tighty whitey kind, if you must know).  What i discovered after much beating the streets, more web reviews and several purchases and returns later … has stuck with me, through much heavy wear, over three years in almost pristine condition.

The Booq Python bag (they make several other trendy, smaller and more popular models) came as a gift from the gods.  It not only lived up to its great reviews and excellent billing, it made me glad to be a iconoclastic geek in-training.  Last month i experienced a buckle failure and went online to see where i could buy another.  Instead of some protracted procurement process i was faced with the awing result of receiving a replacement belt with buckle in the mail, only days later.  I never purchase anything for the warranty and therefore didn’t realize that it is (warranted) for 5 years.  I just think thats’ how good quality products and service should work.  But my social philosophies aside, i am mildly impressed.

While the price point is sure to keep it out of the mainstream of backpack purchases, you would be well served to heed the age-old adage that you get what you pay for. The quality is superb.   The ballistic nylon material shows hardly a scrape.  It is uber-stylish and well received amongst the well-heeled Mac legions.  Oh, and PC people wish they had someone custom designing quality stuff for the accoutrement to their tech hardware, too.  Take heart PC gurus, i’ve tried it … thankfully, it works for our stuff, too.

The Boa - Eat Your Heart Out

I will be joining those carefree, price-be-damned, stylishly productive and couture accessorized Apple fans, as i purchase my next Booq coverings … Boa 3L & Vyper XL2 bundle, for my MacBook Pro 17″.  While i could just keep using the bag i’ve got and just swap the tech stuff out, the linings of their newer bags are a nice bright shade of red.  They got me with that one.  Hey don’t just hate, participate.  A simple click on the photo will get you to their well-designed site to examine and select what series will fit you and your stuff best.  My guarantee is you’ll be glad you did… for a very long time.
