One of my favourite sites – Lifehacker – has started to do a feature on what’s in people’s laptop bags, quite a nice idea, so here what’s been in mine today:
So this Belkin Laptop Messenger Case is my selected laptop enclosure. It’s got an internal removable laptop sleeve, loads of internal storage and good number of zipped external storage points. It’s really light weight, but robust enough to take an occasional battering!
The VIP Passenger
My Dell Latitude D830 has served me well for the past 20 months. 
Nicely described as a 15.4″ business notebook, it’s slowly become a desktop replacement and isn’t really ideal for people who are always on the move.
My favourite feature is the quality of the build and especially the keyboard which is a pleasure to use. The least likeable feature is the overall bulk of this laptop, especially when compared to a netbook.
The Cables
- AC Adaptor for the Dell laptop
- Apple iPod headphones
The Data Carriers
A single 4GB SanDisk Cruzer is all I had today, but various size variations of that brand and drive can often be found in my laptop bag.
The Analog Stowaways
- A4 Ruled & Margin 100 Page Recycled Paper Notebook
- 2 x Biros and 1 x Pencil
- 10 Business Cards
In Ear Entertainment
I love to take my first generation iPod Nano out and about with me. It’s only got 2gb of storage and it’s been around the blocks a few times, but the battery retains charge well and it holds the perfect about of music & podcasts.
Other Misc Technology
- Three 3G USB dongle – great for getting online on the move.
- Logitech MX Revolution laser mouse
- LG Viewty mobile phone (soon to be replaced by the next gen iPhone?)
