Ideas for a gift
I want to get a rolling laptop case for a friend whose back is hurting from the bag she carries. She's not a backpack kind of a gal. I think the ones that allow you to take the wheels off and use it as a regular briefcase make the most sense. They seem to range in price from $40 to several hundred dollars. I need to stay on the low end. Has anyone tried one out? Any idea which hold up and which fall apart?
(Not sure if this is the right place to put this thread - sorry if it's in the wrong one - call it newbie-itis!) |

Hmm, I've never used one of the rolling cases before so I don't really know the quality of the lower end ones. It seems like something that could be hit or miss (the wheels could come off or the handle could break). Have you tried looking at consumer reviews on the sites you've been browsing? I know a lot of major retailers like Target and Walmart let users make comments about whether they liked the product or not.
As for putting this thread in the "general discussion" forum, I'm sure it's perfectly fine. Probably about 90% or more of my threads go in the "general" section. lol! No one really cares where it is. We aren't picky.

Wish I could help, but I can't. We have two laptops here, but they are never taken anywhere. Good luck to you though...Angie gave some great advice.

Sorry, but I've never heard of a laptop carrier with wheels. Is it like a piece of luggage that you pull behind you? Good luck finding one!!!
