works best for a laptop? Carry all or briefcase that PC offers? Does anyone have the briefcase can you give tell me a little about it???
 
I have the briefcase, but don't have a laptop to go in it! But I do use the briefcase to take paperwork back and forth to shows. When I did have a laptop a few jobs ago, I used a very similar briefcase and really liked it. Since my laptop was a bit heavy, I really liked using the briefcase to carry it because I wouldn't overload the bag and make it too heavy to carry.
There... my TCW!
 
I actually put mine in the rolling cart. Just leaving space to lay it on top. I wish that they'd come out with an actual laptop bag that's big enough for one with a 15" screen. That isn't big, but they seem to think it is.
 
I carry mine in the briefcase. It's perfect although I do with it had some padding. It has several pockets inside to carry business cards, little gifts (islice, tongs, citrus peeler, etc), a hook to hook my keys, etc. I love it!
 
Is this the briefcase that is on the supply order form??? My problem is that they really do not make a laptop case big enough for my laptop becasue it has a 17 inch montoior on it...

Yes, it is. I just measured my laptop, closed, diagonally and it is 16.5" and it fits with room to spare in the briefcase on the supply order.

Maybe there is hope for me.. Is the briefcase nice and usable???
 
I have a 17" laptop and it fits, but sometimes isn't very easy to zipper so I usually leave it unzippered. I still have room for show folders and a money bag and whatever else I throw in there at the last minute (I tend to overpack).
