Macworld's Tom Bihn Synapse Coverage

  • Tom Bihn Synapse Backpack Instead of a device-specific padded compartment, the Synapse offers a place to put your sleeve-encased iPad or 13-inch (or smaller) laptop, making for a surprisingly versatile daypack-sized backpack. Throw in quality materials and construction, as well as a clever design, and you get a standout bag for those of us blessed with both an iPad and a laptop.
  • Holiday wish list: Dan Frakes The iPad has changed many a Macworld staffer's work and play habits, and Senior Editor Dan Frakes is no exception. For his holiday wish list, he's hoping he'll get everything he needs to put together the ultimate portable iPad work/playstation.
  • iPad Cases: Bags and Packs A bag or pack lets you carry your iPad along with a bit (or a bunch) of other gear. Here are our reviews of iPad bags, packs, backpacks, and slings. All products here work with both the original iPad and the iPad 2. (Click on a product to read its full review.)
