Laptop Thoughts: News & Reviews on Laptops, Netbooks, Slates, and More.

"Skooba Design has added a collection of products designed exclusively for women to its award-winning line of laptop bags and tech/travel accessories. The bags in the new HarmonyTM collection blend the look, fashion and quality of a high-end tote or handbag with the capacity and protection of a laptop bag. Skooba's Julie Zepke, who lead the Harmony project, says "Harmony was designed by women for women, to make sure that the bags reflect the way we really carry and use things." Zepke continues, "too many other laptop bags are just masculine, tech-centric designs slightly modified or decorated to be marketed to women. We took the reverse approach-designing beautiful handbags and then making them work with technology." Zepke says the Harmony name represents the ideal marriage of fashion and function."

I've tended to think of Skooba Design's bags are being basically unisex, but the new Harmony line is certainly more fashionable than anything Skooba has done before. Remember you can use the coupon code DIGIDEAL to save 20% off any order of $50 or more.

Skooba Design has launched a whack of new products - and they look great! Pictured is the Techlife Compact Laptop Messenger bag ($54.95) - I reviewed a smaller version of this bag, the Netbook Messenger, and it rocks. This new version has slightly re-configured internal pouches designed to accommodate a 13" laptop. After the break, more new products, but before you go there, remember to use the coupon code DIGIDEAL to save 20% off any order more than $50, and to sign up for the Skooba newsletter - they often have special promotions and discounts.
