Awesome Laptops

Booq’s Boa Nerve is their take on the classic courier/messenger bag, with ballistic nylon shell, seatbelt shoulder straps, rubberized bottom, zipped compartments and 17″ laptop sleeve.

The DormVault protects up to a 17″ notebook by internally mounting itself to furniture; thieves will have to dismantle your bed or desk to get it off, as it weighs 9 lbs and is made of steel.

Designed for netbook and MP3 players, PowerTraveller’s minigorilla is a portable 9 oz. 9000 mAh battery with up to 6 hours of juice; included are 20 tips for netbooks plus an iPod adapter.

Ideal for laptop users in need of extra screen real estate, the Mimo 740 Touchscreen is a 7″ 800×480 display that weighs 1.3 lbs, rotates between portrait and landscape, and runs on USB.

Oakley’s Mallet Messenger Bag is a vintage take on their normally modern fare, with faux leather accents, a waxed cotton shell, large front slip pocket and detachable shoulder strap.

Blind Ear Music’s Wi-Fi Symphony is remarkable not just because it’s run wirelessly via a system of laptops; the composer is dynamically creating music using real musicians in real-time.

Maingear’s eX-L 18 laptop claims to be the world’s fastest, maxing out with a quad-core Intel X9300, 8 GB DDR3, dual GeForce GTX 280m’s, an 18.4″ LCD and custom laser etching.

Chrome’s Soyuz Bag hits the sweet spot for semi-athletic geeks: you’ll get a waterproof side-access laptop compartment, molded back panel with air mesh and four external cargo pockets.

QWSTION’s Office Bag looks like a normal laptop case, but can also be worn as a backpack; a neoprene-padded 17″ laptop compartment and five multi-use pockets seals the deal.

Nick and Beau Trincia have managed to combine a desk, a chair and a laptop case into one unit: the Openaire separates into a laptop desk and a plush chair when unfolded.

Available for both the 13″ MacBook and 15″ MacBook Pro, the Shadow Case is tough on the outside with triple-layer hybrid carbon/leather but soft on the inside with a plush inner liner.

Panasonic has been hyping the durability of their Toughbook for years, but here’s something you can sink your teeth into: it survives a trip to the zoo with tigers and elephants.

New York-based HunterGatherer partners with Arkitip and Incase for an iPhone 3G/3GS slider case and 15″ MacBook Pro sleeve, both of which sport a sharp woodgrain pattern.

Cradia’s Mini Fit XL makes two interesting innovations to the laptop cooler: not only can you adjust the position of the fan to maximize cooling, but it serves as a 15″ case and stand.
