today's idea: backpack-tache'

it's an attache that has back pack straps in a pocket. they make similar items, but none as an attache...I think? Will research...

So far, this one is ishy:

This one is almost it:

This one would again be close if the back-pack straps WENT AWAY:

Unfortunately, no one so far seems to make a real attache that can be turned on its side and worn as a backpack. It seems as though once you add backpack straps, the shape of all attaches become utterly backpacky.

After much research, I am settling the matter with this bag that seems to the best reviewed, most travel worthy, but least businessy...we have moved away from attache and entered the world of durable globetrotter bags:

Oh wait, one more that nails it...oops, if your laptop is less than 13.5 inches wide:

Even though I am not a huge fan of Eagle Creek, this model seems to fit the bill:

And with a "No Matter What" Lifetime Warrantee, maybe this is the real deal.

"I bought the Eagle Creek Convertabrief, thinking I'd finally found the THE laptop bag with all the features that I had been looking for and planned on using it "several times a day." It was professional-looking, lightweight and had versatile carrying options, even though it offered less space than what I'd hoped to find. Well, the kicker was the backpack straps. They cut into my shoulders in such a way, once I'd put in the laptop and all my stuff, that I knew we could never live and travel together. It's a great-looking, well-made bag that really prefers to be carried as a brief most of the time. I am still looking for the perfect bag."
