Pacsafe adds some security to your laptop bag

K-locks and thick cables are well and good -- when they work, and when you're tethered to some relatively immobile object. But when your laptop's in your bag (which it is most of the time when you're on the go), you might want something a little sturdier than a plastic zipper and some nylon fabric. Enter Pacsafe's latest computer bags, which boast what's claimed to be "tamperproof" zippers and a middle-layer of "eXomesh" anti-slash wire mesh, and stainless steel wire for fastening your entire bag to that same relatively immobile object. Prices range start at $90 for the MetroSafe 300 up to $180 for the DaySafe 200. Be wary, though, we have a feeling Marc Weber Tobias may make short work of these things.

I think my dremel would slice through that cable like butter.

...if it didn't get gunked-up on the nylon, snag, and snap... and if nobody were around to hear your subtle WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I got the Pacsafe messenger bag for a semester in Costa Rica. It made me feel much better about carrying my laptop around. The Daysafe is an awesome day pack too. You can also get a steel cable mesh to put around a large backpack as well.

too bad these bags are fugly

Surely being fugly is an additional anti-theft measure? Your potential crim will hopefully assume that a cheap and nasty bag won't contain anything other than cheap and nasty contents.

I lug my laptop around in a tatty old rucksack.

i don't think they are designed to look cheap and crappy, I understand the logic.
