Prize #1: Echo Laptop Backpack

My first contest for 2010 is a great one. I’m giving away a computer backpack and a laptop sleeve from the line of Frommer’s Travel Collection by Lug. I selected these because I thought they’d be the prefect gifts for my readers as they like to travel and are very technically savvy.

First prize will be the Echo Computer Backpack, an $80 value.

E stands for everything, as in the Echo has it all! This lightweight pack is perfect for travel, work, or school with its pockets for paperwork, pens, and electronic accessories, plus a padded compartment that keeps your computer cradled. The fit is fantastic, and there’s no more scrambling for that buzzing phone with the convenient shoulder strap cell pocket. The easy-wipe bottom helps keep it clean.

Prize #2: Delta 17 Laptop Sleeve

Second prize is the Delta 17 Laptop Sleeve, a $30 value:

The biggest in our series of laptop sleeves, the 17” Delta gets down to business storing all your work necessities in a lightweight sleeve. The padded interior supports your computer, while the large pocket stores papers, pens, and computer accessories like your power cord and mouse. Speaking of mouse, flip the Delta and on the case you’ll find a built-in mouse pad. So smart!

As usual, entering the contest is easy. All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what your favorite piece of travel luggage or bag is. I’ll pick two comments via Random.org and the contest will end on March 7.

  1. There is no better travel equipment than the Teva Dozer sandals! Seriously, me and my Tevas have been through a lot together and they have never let me down.

  2. John says:

    I love my orange hard-shell luggage from Samsonite.

  3. Gianna says:

    Lowepro Compu Daypack :)

  4. My Land’s End Cotton Canvas Classic Attache is my favorite.

  5. Auriette says:

    I have a wheeled, expandable carry-on that has served me well on domestic and international flights. After going to England a few years ago with several non-wheeled suitcases that I lugged up and down stairs to the underground and up the hill from the train station, I will never travel without wheels again!

  6. Lily Kwan says:

    My favorite piece of travel luggage is my wheeled duffel.

  7. Sand says:

    I’m good with any bag as long as it’s a carry-on bag that fits almost everything.

  9. Jake says:

    I like the first bag

  10. Jeff A says:

    Don’t know that I’ve gotten emotional over a piece of luggage yet, but maybe I just haven’t found the right one. I guess my $19 complete luggage set has to rank high because of the tens of thousands of miles on it, but the Lowepro backpack with computer slot and huge storage capacity would probably rank first because of the durability.

  11. I love my Built laptop case, thanks!

  12. Chrysa says:

    I have a Kenneth Cole laptop backpack that I really like but it is just about shot.

  13. i have always enjoyed using all my lowepro bags, but i’m willing to try others too.

  14. Camber Grant says:

    I really like this green shoulder bag that my family bought in 1995 for a trip to Italy. I’ve been using it ever since because it has never worn out.

  15. Shannon says:

    I love my Mac waterproof sleeve for my laptop. Thin, protective, and keeps out rain/drinks/etc.

  16. hazel hunt says:

    Would love to win !!

  17. kathy pease says:

    i have a samsonite suitcase i usually use it is really roomy :)

  18. Hilary Kaye says:

    I love traveling with a backpack that I take onboard with me, I can put my computer in it, books, camera, etc. But am thinking a separate computer bag might be even better.

  19. Bruno says:

    So far my favorite piece of travel luggage is the Lowepro Compu Daypack, can have my laptop, camera and accessories in one bag allowed as carry on :)

  20. kristy says:

    I love the laptop bag that I have now but it is a little bulky. I really want a laptop sleeve.

  21. Carolyn says:

    My favorite luggage is a small wheeled blue suitcase. nothing gets wrinkled and you don’t have to carry it, perfect!

  22. gina says:

    I just received them, but already my favorites are my very first matching luggage set my mom picked up for me for christmas. The carryon is in a unique shape and soft so it’s more like a ‘bag’ than suitcase. It comes in handy when trying to force it in the overhead storage.

  23. R Hicks says:

    My fav piece of luggage is my black American Tourister 25 in. Upright. Built well and convenient!

  24. Sarah Z says:

    I like the Heart Quilted Puddle Jumper Plum!

  25. katie says:

    I have a messenger style bag from LL Bean which I love to take on trips!

  26. Jenny F says:

    I have an awesome Kathmandu backpacking bag with attached day bag, but I also have a smaller gym bag I love for small trips.

  27. a garment bag is the best piece of luggage that I’ve ever used

  28. Jay F. says:

    I love my computer backpacks. I have a large Targus one for my work laptop, which is one of those heavy ones. The backpack can fit most everything I need, even for an overnight trip. My other, very small and skinny backpack is a prize from McDonalds. I carry my Macbook Air in that one. I enjoy taking it to Starbucks – I tend to get dirty looks.

  29. Leesa says:

    I have an orange set of canvas luggage. They’ve traveled all over and they’re tough as nails!

  30. Dixon Hamby says:

    Think Tank Shape Shifter camera bag. Love it

  31. Amy Delong says:

    I love my carry on bag&put anything important in it!

  32. Constance L says:

    My favorite is a small wheeled carry on that I pack one outfit in. I like to have that for back up in case they lose my checked bags

  33. I like the delta 17 laptop sleeve.
