Re: [PhillyOnRails] MacBook Choices

The Timbuk2 Commute bag is very nice.  Has a padded pocket for the  
notebook and enough room for charger, iPod, a book or two.  The  
medium is a perfect fit for a 15 inch PowerBook so it should fit the  
15 inch MacBook Pro as well.  http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/
