PorTable

Laptops are supposed to add efficiency and portability to your work, but lugging around that bulky laptop can be anything but convenient. Now there is the PorTable from ItalianOriginale Design Creative Lab. It is a stylish laptop bag for your notebook that doubles as a portable workstation.

The PorTable encloses your notebook neatly and safely, and allows users to work on their systems without the need to pull them out of the bag, meanwhile the sleeves of the bag become a mousepad for both right orleft hand users. Furthermore, the PorTable is customizable with different accessories, materials, and dimensions to accommodate notebooks of various types and sizes.

Some people buy netbooks because they are really portable. Others buy them because they are really cheap. I can’t imagine why would anyone buy a netbook and immediately after go for a Goyard netbook bag that has twice the price of the netbook. What will such a bag do for you? Can it show pictures? Go online? Edit documents? No, it only wraps around your netbook to prevent it from scratching. But what if you saved the money and bought two more netbooks when the first one died?
