Penny wise, pack foolish.
We’re cheapskates. You know that. We never met a penny we couldn’t pinch. Saving money is practical, sure - but it’s also a matter of principle, of honor, of morality. For uber-skinflints like us, as with your billionaire wolves of Wall Street, money is how we keep score.
So we understand that you could buy a cheaper backpack than this one. It wouldn’t take you more than a few seconds on Amazon to find plenty of backpacks for $20 or less. And if the alternative is spending fifty, sixty, seventy bucks for a top of the line backpack, we’re right there with you.
But what if that top-of-the-line backpack is $25? Five extra bucks. For a bag that will carry a laptop worth hundreds of dollars.
For one of the best bags to carry that laptop, we should add. Targus is the good shit, with that combination of padding, structure, and space that makes a clearly superior backpack. It’ll last way longer, hold more stuff, organize that stuff better, and wear more comfortably than that twenty-dollar job. Some corners are worth cutting. Not this one.
Not for just five bucks. If we could always get that kind of return on our investments, maybe we never would have been so cheap in the first place.
