Carry All
The Yeti Crossroads backpack 23 is designed with separate laptop and tablet pockets that are lined with shock-absorbing foam for protection. The pack fits a 15.5-inch laptop, and there’s a spacious top pocket for accessories. The bag’s “structure arc” keeps it upright and open wide for ease in packing and unpacking. The shoulder straps offer custom shape with dual-density foam for comfort, and the articulated back panel provides a comfortable fit that adjusts to the user’s shape. There are also two exterior bottle pockets that stay collapsed with magnets when not in use. www.yeti.com
Fold Out
Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Fold is a fully functional PC with a folding OLED display that opens to a fully flat 13.3-inch display. The X1 Fold weighs less than 2.2 pounds, is built from lightweight alloys and carbon fiber, and is enclosed in a leather folio cover. In landscape mode, with the built-in kickstand, users can review and annotate a presentation or use the Bluetooth Mini Fold Keyboard. When closed, the keyboard stores and wirelessly charges inside the system and is secured with magnets. In its laptop orientation, users can use two independent displays during certain multitasking activities. Join a video call on the upper screen while reviewing and editing a presentation on the lower screen. Compare documents, one above the other, or take notes on one screen while watching a lecture on the other. www.lenovo.com
