So, I have been putting it off as much as possible, but it looks like I will need to begin traveling with 2 laptops. I travel every other week for work.

I usually prefer to carry on my computers which means I need one bag for x2 laptops. Anyone have a similar issue or suggestions on a bag?

How big are the laptops?  

11.6", 14", 17"

Do they both use the same charger ?

If not is it worth buying a universal charge with removeable ends so you only need to carry one ?

I have been know to carry both a 11.6 laptop and a 9.6" tablet which has a rubbery big case.  Generally, the units are about the same size and thickness.  

The laptop goes into the section of the bag designed for up to a 15" laptop.  The tablet goes in the section intended for papers/file folders since I have no papers with me

I have a Timbuc2 model Dif11 size M.

looks like:

 

I like everything about it, except for those metal hook closures for the front.  Like you will see in the other bag below, they are always falling off since the only thing that keeps them closed is gravity.  I don't think TimB2 uses these any more.  Otherwise, the bag is great.

I second the Timbuk2 bag. I collect them like a sickness.

There's 5? In my house at the moment dating back to the early 2000s.

I have a timbuk2 backpack that I have been using for commuting for 4 years. Just starting to show some wear.

Thanks for the suggestions. Computers are a 15.4 and a 14. One HP and one Dell. They do not use the same charger.
