I cart a laptop computer around on my travels, and its poorly-designed case can be agonising. It is not only uncomfortable, but the strap leaves my shoulders aching for hours on end. Are there any good alternatives for mobile boffins like me?

Atlantic's Euro Back Brief, a kind of rucksack briefcase, is designed to remove the pain and strain of laptop lugging. It has two shoulder straps and is worn like a rucksack or baby-carrier, evenly and effortlessly distributing the burden of your weighty kit across both shoulders. You can also expose a single shoulder strap at a time if you prefer.

What else is good about the bag?

The main chamber of the zip-closing bag has a padded nylon sleeve, to further protect your PC in transit, and the lining has a number of pockets and pouches, as does the lining in the second chamber at the front. There is also a smaller zip-secured pocket.

How much?

The Atlantic Euro Back Brief is available in a black nylon finish for £79 or in soft black leather for £179.
