vote for the bays. My first mulberry was tooled bays and she's still the best bag I've ever had.
Hi! Reviving this thread because I am also a recent college grad looking for a great, classic bag that can carry my laptop- doesn't have to be Mulberry, if anyone has any other suggestions, but I've been thinking about the Bayswater. I know Mulberry teamed up with Apple to make the Bayswater for laptops, but I can't find them anywhere- did they discontinue them?? If so, what do you guys think about a regular Bayswater for laptops- will a laptop, in a protective sleeve, take up too much room in the Bayswater to be able to fit much else? Thanks so much!!
Netsirk - The Bays for apple were exactly the same size as the regular Bays, they just had a little divider to hold your laptop. A laptop in a sleeve would be just fine in your bays, and wouldn't take up the whole bag by any means.
Here are some photos I hope they help, I took these a while ago... 13 inch macbook with a full VIP business liner... and this is with the side straps of the Bayswater on the tightest hole, so the least capacity.

the oak bays will be heavy in NVT -especially when there is a laptop in it! <--- my shoulder hurt after that trip! But it can be used on any occasion!
Great pics, Miss Mabel, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
Twinkle Pink, thanks for the heads up- the heaviness of it with a laptop is definitely something I need to consider, especially since I'll be commuting to work on public transportation/walking. I'll have to think about that one...

There's a black patent Bays for MacBook in the Coming Soon section of .com.
It may be true that a Bays will feel quite heavy with a laptop in it, but after reading several accounts on here of Alexas' straps coming unstitched or coming off altogether (Mulberry Ellie's recent thread) I would trust a Bays more to be sturdy enough to take the weight.
