Can anyone here recommend a good laptop bag that can hold two laptop computers and at the same time meet the UK carryon size restrictions?
I'll be travelling with both my personal laptop (to check my pesonal e-mails and look at websites I wouldn't look at on my work leptop) and work laptop.
All I can think using my current bag is to save room by putting the power supply of my personal laptop in my checked baggage.

http://www.lazarsluggage.com/brri11doexco.htmlThis bag is too big for the current UK carry-on limits (not even close, it is 25% too big, unexpanded!). It would have to be checked in the UK.
However the rumour is that as of Sept 19 the carry-on limits will be relaxed in the UK, perhaps to standard rollaboard size. But no announcement yet, however BBC has reported that this is imminent.

I have a Timbuk2 messenger bag with a padded laptop compartment. My 15" MacBook Pro fits into the padded compartment, and my 12" PowerBook (in a neoprene sleeve) fits into the main compartment with enough room to fit the chargers for the two machines, mobile phone etc.
This is approximately the model:

You'd have to COMPLETELY stuff it for it to expand to the dimensions quoted. I measured mine with the above described kit and it was within the reduced dimensions currently in force.

I don't think so. It's a soft bag without wheels, and can be squeezed down in width to fit inside the template.

You are correct. If it can fit in the sizer, it can go as carryon luggage. Unless things've changed, I saw not one bag being measured. It was all about the piece fitting into the sizer completely.
