rplace Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 it sounds like your best option at this point is something along the lines of these:... Oh, I think I am pretty well set in the bike/rack/gear department. I have a sturdy rack and a bag that will carry the laptop no problem. It is the weight I am trying to reduce and have the ability to work in either location. Currently I can move the laptop, safely, back and forth or leave it overnight at the client's location. When I leave it I seem to always need it. If everything would just fit on my phone my problems would be solved. here is a pic of the bike I use for commuting. Along with a bike to work trophy from the Baltimore area folks. I organized the other workers in my office and lent a few some of my bikes and we had the most participation for a company of 100 or less employees.

Thaddeus Smith Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 well there's your problem. stop riding around with that lead trophy slapped on your bike. Nice looking rig -i understand your predicament, but i think the trade offs and hassle you're trying to acheive through a technology solution far outweigh (pun intended) the weight of carrying the laptop back and forth.

Marvel Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 buy a macbook pro - pretty light, very robust, and very powerful for the package size, even the 13" models. They aren't light! The 13 inch is 4.5 pounds, without the external power adapter. The 15 inch jumps to a little over 5 1/2 pounds. For hauling around, they just aren't that light.If you have two computers with the applications on them, the data files you are working on should be able to be stored on an external drive, even usb 2. Of course, faster is always better. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 you guys need to hit the gym. i carry my 15" mbp + a ton of accessories, camera, ipad, etc daily without issue. unless you're comparing to an Air or some other ultralight - they aren't that heavy in real world usage.
