Well, my back hurt the next day from carrying around my laptop, so I may not need a laptop tote if I can avoid carrying the laptop. The iPad may have to do, or I may have to look for a lighter laptop if I need it to be mobile.
I did see this tote online which I like much better. Haven't seen it in person yet. It looks almost as big and has a zip top:

I really like the luggage color in the saffiano leather, so I may wait MK out until they have this in the dark tan color. (They have the dark tan in smooth leather in a smaller tote. I really want the saffiano so I can bang it around a little.)
I figure a big bag like this could hold my lunch, tablet and all the other stuff I would need for the day.
