Being able to carry a laptop in a backpack just wasn’t enough for the Swiss Army company! They went the extra mile and created a sensational backpack with everything an avid laptop user could ever dream of. The new Swiss Gear Wired Laptop Backpack is the answer to many prayers and an invention heralded by every techno-geek around.

When it comes to durability and creativity, this model of backpack can’t be beat. A self contained power supply that can provide up to four hours of additional power, on top of what the laptop’s own battery can supply, can turn a quick trip to the coffee shop into a day long adventure away from it all.

Not only does the backpack come completely wired, it’s totally moisture and waterproof, designed to protect your expensive electronic gear from almost any storm that mother nature throws your way. Rustproof Teflon zippers and large overhanging pockets add to its charm and functionality.

These backpacks are sold in both electronics stores and outdoor / camping stores. No longer manufactured just for the occasional outdoorsman, these now provide functionality for just about anyone who can’t leave home without a well powered laptop.

Pricing varies, and occasionally you’ll find a sale, especially at local retail stores. However, do expect to pay about $100 no matter what, and don’t expect a huge discount no matter what kind of sale you’re heading to.

Since these have been on the market for about six months, there’s a chance you might even find one for sale online by a private party who could be upgrading to the newest edition. Another good place to check out some deals is at a college bookstore. Find a student who can purchase things for a discount with his student ID and you could save about 20% off the regular price.
