Thinnest/lightest briefcase?
I'm looking for a thin and light briefcase. Hopefully something that can fit in the luggage without taking much if any space. I am looking for something similar to the Tumi briefcases (with two small handles, zips in the middle instead of flap and buckle), but with just one pocket for a laptop is good enough. Is there any that you can recommend? What briefcase do you use?

Muji has very good minimalist brief case style bags. Very lightweight, extremely durable and cost effective. I'll try to find the model number for the one I use. Really well put together but with no fuss or brand pretension.

At a much much higher price point, there areally also Porsche Design branded ones. Probably cheapest price and broadest selection on those when you are in Germany.

As cheap as possible. I just need it for one work trip where I don't want to have everything be leather and or big brand names. I wouldn't even mind if it were disposable, if there is such a thing as one-time briefcases.

A lot of laptop sleeves with straps/handles on ebags. Are the ones below the type of thing you're looking for? All are under $35

Or go even cheaper with something like these:

I can't find the same model of the Muji briefcase/bag that I have, but for your purpose of putting inside luggage, this might be interesting:
"Muji Bag In Bags Black"

Even more perfect because of the price, but it looks like it wouldn't be able to fit a 14in laptop?

I use Tom Bihn's Daylight Briefcase.

It serves well when I want to take a briefcase in my carry-on.
