- For the past month, I tested out this sleek, slim tech and laptop bag called the Elements Tech Brief by Alpaka to be able to give you a detailed, real-life use review. This durable, minimalist computer bag is fantastic, BUT, does it make sense for you? That's what we find out in this video!

Our work, tech, and laptop bags are the unsung heroes - we beat them up, toss them into the car, slam them into transit turnstiles, spill coffee on them, yet rely on them to carry our livelihoods. So finding the best laptop bag for what we carry daily is an important purchasing decision.

For many of us, our weekday EDC includes a computer, and an everyday carry bag, especially for work or school, needs to protect a laptop and other tech. What I love about this Alpaka Elements Tech Brief is that it's so slim, it could basically pass as a laptop sleeve, but also, has a lot of storage considering it's slim profile.
For me, everything I carry when I'm on the road for work is slim - I'm talking MacBook Pro laptop, iPad tablet, Traveler's Company Notebook, and a few other odds and ends, so a clean, minimalist bag is what I'm looking for, and beyond a minimalist look, I love me a great slim laptop bag.
This Alpaka Elements Tech Brief slim laptop messenger style bag fits the bill great for me, but it may, or may not be the perfect options for YOU, and in this video, I hope to help you figure it out, because bang-for-buck, this slim computer bag for work, or slim laptop bag for school is so durable, functional, and packs more organizational options than I know what to do with.

Right there with you
I got this bag , and love it so far! shoulder strap is super comfy and sooo much space! and the orange interior is beautiful
thanks for always being so detailed and providing different packing combinations. great bag to gift!
Great bag!! Great review Maurice, as always you get us excited about a bag, even is we donât need it! Thatâs talent!
This is a great review! Iâve gone down the rabbit hole of researching backpacks and briefs that are convertible, slim and still carry all that I need. I think this is exactly what Iâve been looking for. Thanks!
âŠhave they stopped making this bag :(
I canât find it on their site anymore
My use case is slightly different from a lot of people's so I'd like to share it:
I work in education as a TA and most of my job has me moving from classroom to classroom to assist kiddos. My (free with purchase) Cotopaxi todo, although beautiful and effective at carrying everything I need, gets saggy and unwieldy and everything falls to the bottom of it, making it hard to grab what I'm trying to get. I do have one class that I teach but I specifically wanted a bag just for moving from room to room with laptop and pens/anything else I find is useful to bring to motivate my learners (stickers mostly). I wanted something hyper slim that I can keep comfortably on my person all day if there's no space in a classroom for me to set it down (a common issue).
I also bought a modular sling for the strap of the bag specifically to wear around the classroom as I walk around if I do not have pockets (women's clothing is annoying like that).
My makeup kit for work is just for touchups (concealer and sample sizes of the other stuff), and that will fit great in a small makeup pouch that I can move from back to bag, and the rest of my tiny edc will move from my large Cotopaxi organizer (I'm usually more of a maximalist who casually enjoys edc) to a smaller one that, again, is removable. I have a small tool set, bandaids, a "refresher kit" of deodorant, toner, and hand sanitizer.
If I have to grade anything, thats what packable bags or shopping totes are for, or I'll bring my larger popflex duffel and use this case more as a laptop sleeve.
Im so excited for it to arrive.
Thanks for turning me on to this brand and I hope other femme leaning folk/none business field folk share their use cases as well.
One thing I am not sure I'll like is the orange interior. But the durability makes that easy to ignore.
I have the green variant with backpack harness. It wears really nice and looks fantastic. I really love the neat and compact form factor.
Do they not make this bag anymore? The one on their site seems different
Great review, thank you :). Ordered - Can't wait for it to arrive!
Excellent review. Appreciate your surgical details. I'll be back to leverage your reviews!
lol
Is this no longer available? I can only see their "Pro" version
Editing is A+ đđ»
I find that handle is in a weird position even though itâs supposed to also double up for a luggage pass through
Bag is coolâŠbut what is super cool is the edit of this video!
I don't see the bag on website
This looked fantastic but it appears they got rid of the high vis orange interior and that was kind of why I wanted it.
Thank you for sharing this thorough review!
I've seen a lot of comments/reviews on their website saying that the 14" isn't really big enough even for the 13 ro 14" laptops and people wish they would have gone to the 16" for more space. Is the one you're using the 16"? I'm looking for something to tone down a little from my Vertx Deadletter Sling
I got the 14" and should have gone for the 16"...the bag is great, but a tad small...my new Mac Book Air fits OK, but when you start to put things inside, it immediately feels...I don't know, cramped, uncomfortable...a bit disappointed...
I assumed that for the lightweight commuter, with only a MacBook air and charger, it's a good choice. But if you still need to bring another things, better go with the 16".
Thanks for the tip, i need a new bag.
It wouls be perfect if it has space for lunch box and or a bottle of water
This laptopbag is OP
Would you have a couple of recommendations for backpacks? I use a 12.9â iPad Pro, and carry a fair share of stuff, but it seems like backpacks are either HUGE or just sleeves. Looking for something thin & minimal.
Great review! Pity I got the 14" one...very small...
Loving yoir viddos, but apple pencil without the ipad yet a apple laptop am i missing something?
@mauricemoves what are those MacBook/air covers you have on the top of your laptops? I think I saw a green one on the air in another video. Thanks
Sorry I am curious to know what type of external drive you have that looks so nice and small but Iâm sure stores some good data.
Thank you for the info in advance đ
a bit late but if you still wanna know it's the sandisk extreme portable. i think it comes in up to 2TB configurations :)
Thanks for turning me on to this brand! Just grabbed a bag and lanyard using your code.
where is the link to the item!?!? its not in ur list of links.
Love your channel! Like to see a link for your hat please ;)
Thanks for shearing
Pls info for 15,6"" laptop.
Does anyone have any experience with this bag regarding other laptops other than the macbook 16? Im interested in getting this but i fear my laptop wont fit (Asus TUF). The dimensions are quite similar to the macbook 16 albeit thicker, and one review i saw pointed out that the macbook 16 was quite a tight fit which is why i wanted to make sure
What is the name of the bag?
Alpaka got all the right features, but sorry to say. They are not intuitive.
A very simple example is the modular system they have in the backpacks. Once you have all that latches, it is exfre,ely difficult for you to get hthings in and out of your bag.
I would recommend evergoods, patagonia, or aer instead.
Can this be converted into a backpack? I like to carry on both shoulders because I have a bad back
They sell a bundle with backpack straps as an ad on
Hello! Great video! Does your discount code still work?
J-just 2.5 inches? th-thats... thats pretty big. like... yeah
Can it fit a small lunch box?
MacBook Pro 13in 2015 / 2016 model. Will the 14 in be too small??
Definitely! I have a 14" one and when you start putting things inside, it immediately feels cramped!! Go for the 16"!
i dont think is a carry handle hahaha it a luggage attachment.
Are you big brother of Potato Jet ?
14 or 16 ????
Oh Man why does the shipping cost so much to MĂ©xico? đđ
I'm considering buying this bag and there's no shipping to Mexico for me at the moment.
Maurice~ wha'tup.Yeah,insane job~đ€
07:12 S-Biner AGAIN??? Seriously?
Looks like this bag doesn't exist anymore. :(
Yes the replacement is bulky compared to this. Bummer cuz I would love to have one
Nice review, but all the âbutâ and âthatâs what she saidâ jokes make your video lose credibility
Orange interior is ugly
