I do not carry a laptop ; I have enough problem with one desktop at home and four at work . BUT wrap some `` blue ice '' in a towel and put it and a sandwich , etc. in the laptop compartment , and I have get a semi-insulated lunch bag -- along with plenty of room for everything else . for some reason , I carry half of my possession back and forth to work each day . at this time of year , this bag be almost perfect . I hate to say the price be a steal , but ... the price be a steal .
