I had the Tulita tote (on the bottom--bag 2) in black, I really liked that bag and I would get tons of compliments every time I carried it, very easy to carry and get into. For some reason (probably in the quest for another bag....LOL), I sold it, in new condition, and probably should have kept it. I think it's my favorite style from the Tulita collection. It does fit on the shoulder, don't think it would hold a laptop (unless it's a really small one)--great bag. I'm not familiar with the other style.
Good luck with your decision, you can't go wrong with a Choo!!
