Of course if you use your laptop on a desk you will be unaware of this ‘hidden bonus feature’. But if you’re like me and sit watching TV on the sofa and whilst surfing it can be a problem.

If you've read my previous reviews of Crumpler items, you have a good idea that I think they make a quality product.

This time I am reviewing 'The Luncheon', an attractive bag that is designed to carry your 15 inch notebook and a modest amount of accessories. Constructed with a heavy duty 1000D Cordura water repellent shell, it's made to withstand day to day abuse and look great at the same time. At first glance, you may not even expect a computer to be inside it. READ MORE »
