The holy grail of laptop bag design is matching form to function—and companies that make bags with MacBooks in mind have the additional challenge of designing totes that look as good as the Apple portables they hold.

The LimeDrop's bright interior is an eye-opener.

Despite its odd name—the company’s French, OK?—the be.ez LAbesace LimeDrop 15 is anything but idiosyncratic. It’s durably constructed in lightweight nylon, with modern lines, plenty of zippered compartments, pockets, and hidey-holes for all your stuff. A padded compartment protects your 15-inch MacBook Pro, and the bag’s lining is made of a bright lime-green material, so you can’t lose things inside of it.

Best of all, the shoulder bag is comfortable to carry, with a fully adjustable shoulder strap—complete with moveable pad—and enough room inside to stow extras, such as a file folder or two, a paperback book, pens, ID or credit cards, and of course, an iPhone or iPod.

Bag Your 'Book

If the census happened today, how many laptops reside in your household? As many as one for every member of your family? And for every ‘Book, a bag of its own…

Be.ez’s laptop bags drip with style, and the gray-and-green LAbesace Lime Drop we tested is no exception. (It also comes in Classic, which is basic black.) Compatible with the MacBook and MacBook Air, this bag is compact and lightweight, weighing just 1 pound, 10 ounces. But it’s still got room for a padded laptop pocket, a space for files, organizer pockets, and two zipped pockets inside, as well as two more zipped pockets outside. The bright interior lets you easily find what you’re looking for, and the curved shape and tough webbed strap make this an attractive as well as functional option. The LAbesace measures 15.5 by 9 by 5 inches and seems tough enough to last for years.
