Small Notebook Bag = Man Purse?
I’m struggling to figure out the best way to carry around the HP 2133. A small notebook needs a small bag if you want to take advantage of its small stature, but how’s a big guy like me supposed to pull this off?
I’d really like to find a bag that’s just big enough for the 2133, but doesn’t scream ‘man purse.’
HP isn’t selling any cases built specifically for the HP 2133 yet, and maybe the company’s product people are struggling with the same issue.
I’ve searched around the web for over two hours and still can’t find anything masculine enough for my taste. The closest thing I’ve found so far is Waterfield Designs’ Sleeve Case (pictured here), but I’ll probably look goofy carrying it.
I’ve never had this same concern with relatively small DSLR cases, but maybe that’s because camera bag manufacturers have spent decades perfecting the art of making small bags look manly.
Hopefully I’ll find a solution soon. Until then, I’m going to have to make my wife carry the HP 2133 for me in her purse…

For now your best bet is the Waterfield Designs sleeve, w/o the extra pocket and probably the strap to. Once you add those two things it definitely become a man purse.
I have a friend who has a black Timbuk2 messenger bag for his Macbook and it’s about as manly as you’re going to get without going to a backpack or a real briefcase.
