Good backpacks arenit as easy to come by as you might think, and a good backpack thatis also a good computer bag is even harder to come by. Spireis Torq manages to do both quite nicely, and despite a couple minor issues, managed to leave me happy and impressed.
The Torq is designed to holder larger laptops, and can easily accommodate a 17-inch MacBook Pro. That size, coupled with some of the bagis other features, means it weighs a bit more than some other laptop backpacks. Empty, weire talking three pounds.
The trade-off for the weight is functionality. The Torq includes a removable padded sleeve for your laptop that you can use as a secondary bag when you need to travel light. It also includes a shoulder strap so you can keep your hands free when toting just the sleeve. That modularity proved invaluable when I needed to cart my 15-inch MacBook Pro around, but didnit need the extra storage the full bag offers.
