Tank bag recommendation

[CruiserGoneSport]

Thanks!

My current (hoping for an upgrade) laptop is 14.1 X 10 inches, I also carry the power adapter and a usb mouse as well.

I've been using a backpack but it's getting a but ragged, is no waterproof, and can be hot to wear.

I was hoping other regular commuters might have found a good workable solution for less than the price of designer purses....

Anyone else?

I found this: anyone own one?

high-strength magnets will most probable affect your laptop's HDD life

Good point but, I'd assumed the magnets were for attaching the straps and would therefore not be in close proximity to the laptop.
Is this not the case?

Oxford bags are awesome but a bit $$. they have expandable zippers, and weather protection for rainy days.

I have not seen any tank bags for like a 15"/17" inch laptop size.

What about a Tail bag?

I have an Icon tank bag, but I never carry my laptop in it - the magnets are very strong and accidentally can damage my laptop.
When I need to carry the laptop I use a backpack (not the perfect solution for hot summer days - the laptops straps cover shoulder ventilation on my jacket)

Exactly why I don't want to buy another ( replacement ) backpack.

Tail bag maybe but, I had a bad experience with one in the past ... I arrived but it didn't .

what is your lapto size?

Edit: And brand?

another option would be to replace the laptop with an abacus - no damage from magnets

I personally love my AXIO Tank bag. I would never carry my laptop in it tho. I use the AXIO hardpack for that.

I wouldn't get a tank bag for a laptop. The magnets are VERY strong for one. Second, depending on the riding position on the bike you're using it on, it may get in the way.

What brand tail bag did you have by the way??

Many moons ago, sorry don't recall, probably something I picked up at Canadian Tire....
