Which bag between the C.O and the Alpha do you think does best for business and meetings? To me the Alpha seems more functional being able to stand easily on its own, having a single strong handle that there is less fuzz with, a large covering so you don't have to worry about ziplock scraping or the repair of it, and better buckle positioning. But the C.O. seems to me to be more fitting with what people are looking for in a bag, having a ziplock, and a more contemporary look that might now get too much attention from others. 🤔 My feeling keeps ending into "I NEED BOTH". (Edit: Both bags might be the same with standing on it'self when I've taken another look at the alpha.)
Dear, that´s a pretty good question. If you had to go with one, I´d take the Alpha, but in the 15 inch version, not my 13 inches. (That´s because I have the F.C. in 15 in leather and I love it! ) The more contemporary bag would be clearly the C.O., the Alpha being the way more conservative bag. The truth is, I take my surroundings into consideration, having a meet with creatives calls for the C.O., where as negotiations with lawyers will be assisted by the Alpha. Doesn´t help you to much, I´m afraid?
You say a tablet for meetings; or second screen. Do you join your meetings on the tablet and use laptop as main driver? or you use both screens at one time? (How?) I am VERY interested in this!
Most meeting-apps run well on a modern Android device, so I run Teams, Zoom and Google meet on it. That covers about anything. Business meets with Facetime are pretty rare. The video/audio quality is above what most business laptops offer. Bluetooth helps with headsets. If I want to use my ThinkPad with two screen,s I just connect the tablet via spacedesk. It´s an app which allows fot the android tablet to be the second screen, just like Apples Sidecar. If I know I will have to sketch something, I use the tablet and the pen, so I have a digital copy in real time. Hope this helps?

Nice bag and loadout! Like the red color on the inside. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure! And yeah, the red helps a lot, particularly in dark meeting rooms. Contrast is all :-)
@@credenhill7385 my pleasure! Did I mention that the lining is bullet proof?
....sorry, my John Wick moment, the lining is waterproof....🌊

@thehunt226 Clearly two equally superb bags. Thanks though!
@@blah10101 Exactly, youll end up with both at the end :-)

@@thehunt226 That was so helpful! You do not have a office you go to then I assume? Thank you for your reply.
