A few months back, I wrote about my travel machine, the Macbook Air 11″. The bag I used to carry it around back then was a freebie that I got at QCon a few years back. Needless to say, it was cheaply made and it started to disintegrate. Quickly.
I started looking for a new bag after seeing a nasty tear on the side the bag (I threw it out before taking a picture. Sorry.) During my search, I stumbled upon the Tom Bihn Ristretta for the Macbook Air 11″. After comparing it to other alternatives, I decided to buy it.
And boy am I glad I did![[MORE]]
The Ristretta is light, compact, has plenty of room for someone on the go, elegant, sturdy, and best of all, it’s “Made in USA!” If you love your MBA as much as I do, you’ll treat it to something awesome like Tom Bihn’s slick bag. 
I currently have the following items in my bag:
- MBA 11″
- MBA charger with long extension
- Kindle 3
- Magic Mouse
- iPhone charger
- iPhone
- Three pens
- Headphones
- Eye mask (when traveling)
- Ear plugs (when traveling)
- A New Yorker magazine
- Business Cards
- Keys
- Passport bag (when traveling)
This is the perfect computer travel bag I’ve had to date. I have a feeling you’ll love it too.
