Mk VII "style" laptop bag?

[Ihatesnakes]

Hey everyone. Sorry it's been a while since I've posted on here, but I was wondering:

Does anyone know if there is a laptop bag out there that someone sells, which looks similar to Indy's bag (the Mk VII) with a similar strap/buckle, only slightly bigger? I've got a 15 inch mac-book pro and it just wont fit in my Mk VII. I've searched the web, but only found leather, "rugged" bags that don't really look anything like Indy's

I apologize if there is a thread for this somewhere already, but
I didn't see one.

Thanks in advance!

The obvious solution... Is to buy a Solid State Drive (SSD) netbook small enough to fit in your Mk VII. IMO, any other kind of computer would not be adventure-worthy.

Of course, you might want to bring your big MacBook with you. In that case, I know there was a thread on COW about this, back when I browsed those forums.

I think there is, I've seen people post bags that can hold your laptop. There are some threads in COW covering this very topic. If I can find something, I'll show you.

You could always go custom-made, though. Maybe Magnoli could do it. Perhaps he could include "laptop-ready" as an option.

Just keep in mind the things Indy might've gone through. There's always the danger of dropping your laptop and ruining the hard disk. That's why I suggested using an SSD Netbook for adventures. Solid State Drives are more durable than hard disks, even though they have a smaller capacity. Then, of course, there's always the Rugged Laptop.

I might get either one to put in my Mk VII someday.

The only adventure I'll be doing with my laptop is commuting to and from work with it. It's a work laptop that I need for my job. I just hate the boring standard looking bags for laptops that everyone has.

If I ever need a computer for a real adventure (kind of a contradiction if you ask me, lol) I'll consider a SD drive netbook, etc. for my Mk VII.

I went to look on COW but I forgot you need to be a member to see any threads there. I created an account, but I'm in the "pending approval" stage so I can't do anything. ugh...

Well, I took your advice and I asked Magnoli if it could be done. And there's good news and bad news.

First, the good news: He said he can probably do it if I gave him the specs, which I did.

The bad news is, he said it'd be pricey since it is a custom made piece... He said he wouldn't know exactly how much until he gets all the materials, but it'd likely be in the 100-200 range

Oh well, at this point, I think I'd spend that much just to get a really good authentic looking bag

If that's what you want, then so be it. I know I want an accurate Stembridge, but the only one who makes it is Artsee1, and his isn't close enough for me. I'd spend $1,000+ for a real S&W converted to a Stembridge if I have to, but hopefully, it won't have to come to that. I've found this site called TMB Custom Models, while browsing sites that make precisely made custom-made models who could theoretically make a model of the Lost in Space Movie Robot. They've made a model of a Colt .45 Revolver (presumably cannot even simulate gunshots), and I might ask them to make a Stembridge. Of course, that'll be in the far future, as I need to get a job first.
