Logitech Unveils Kinetik Backpack and Briefcase for Laptops

A blogger in the field is only as good as his (or her) backpack, so I’m keen on seeing how these freaky looking Logitech Kinetik bags turns out. I love ballistic nylon and a polyurethane “exo-shell” as much as the next geek, and the lumbar support on this baby looks nice and cushy, for those multi-meeting running-around-NYC days that I’ve been having too many of lately. Both will cost $100, shipping in September. Jump for details including, uh, “system requirements”. Or just have a look at the pretty pics below. – Wilson Rothman
