Nobody carries briefcases/attaches anymore.

I carry my laptop/shit in a black nylon backpack (Patagonia).

In before somebody mentions that overhyped thing with the strap that doubles as a belt in case of emergency. LMAO at that thing. ETA - Saddleback

For some reason I don't think black nylon backpack qualifies as super professional if you're in a formal business setting. But WTF do I know, I'm the one asking for advice.

I use a brown leather briefcase from Jack Spade.

I find it hilarious when senior guys at work come in wearing a suit while two strapping a backpack.

Cape buffalo. Purchased in Joburg SA in 1985. It's a classic but I don't use it any more. It couldn't have been more than 150 Rand.

Wrong there, these days many big companies are open office, and most everyone's switched to backpacks. On my old floor, only ones with an assigned desk were admin staff, only ones with offices were senior VP (fortune 10 company, four on that floor). Everyone else had a floating workspace (think lord of the flies, people no joke stole my chair several times) and a school locker, from people making high three figures on down. Everyone had a backpack after the first 6mo of switching to the new floor plans, even people concerned about their image. Plain black backpacks were the go-to after everyone had to carry everything they needed for the day with them. tumi, victorinox, Targus, anything not flashy. I've used a goruck for five years now and the straps haven't even worn in.

Maybe in sales or a consultant who can do their job with a tablet or something, but anyone else is dragging around 10lbs of laptop and cords, concessions have been made. I've got a few briefcases still I miss using, but I'd feel awkward using one now.

Osprey Flapjack.

Mine holds the laptop and chargers and notepads and cigars and cutters and sunglasses and my wifes titties and pmags and ccw and ccw mags and twinkies and water bottle with ease. I love it.

You can get a really nice used Zero for cheap on Ebay if you shop around. Even I own one.
