I prefer a softer, less serious look, but if I were buying a laptop bag for an executive type person who doesn't like briefcases, I'd consider getting Koyono's Booq Boa Backpack Laptop Bag. What impresses me about this bag is the interior design which, after comfort, is what matters most. The four main compartments are staggered, which makes a lot of sense in a bag that's tall - this ensures the best use of the different levels of space. There's a utility pocket on the outside for a phone or music player, and the main outside pocket consists of a main compartment with 5 smaller utility pockets and 3 pen pockets. If that's not enough, there's also a secret pocket on the back panel for things like passports and other small valuables. The bag opens wide, so it's easy to lift things in and out - really useful on trains and planes.

The exterior is made of high quality ballistic nylon and other rugged materials to withstand abuse. It's a versatile bag for travel, and wouldn't look out of place in a conservative work environment (see more photos after the jump).

The Booq Boa is on sale now for $149.50 (down from $165), and comes with free Cool Feet Hot Laptop Air Stand (normally $14.99).
