This passes Betteridge's law [1] just fine, since I guess the answer from those of us who actually have to carry the laptop any distance is a big "no". A backpack or messenger back is way more comfortable, right?

Also, one usually has other things to carry along with the laptop, and there's also the question of the environment in which the bag is to be carried. That bag wouldn't be great for carrying electronics in heavy rain.

My thought is, for carrying a laptop, I'd rather have a backpack or messenger bag made of paper than a fabric grocery bag. The primary reasons I wouldn't carry a laptop in a grocery bag don't include the fact it's made of paper or the sounds of it rustling (though, it is nice to not have to worry about this one ripping).

I think the author just wanted to brag about their movie prop paper bag.

		No, I was quite serious. I like carrying my laptop to/from places in an inconspicuous bag. I used to use random bags and found these movie prop bags to be ideal.
