If you're anything like me, your laptop is precious cargo. But why tote it in a plain black bag like everyone else? Get a little style and be good to the planet with laptop bags made from recycled materials. If you want to go green, without making your very own laptop bag from stuff around the house, there are quite a few to choose from. These are the most stylish I've found on the Web.
