It turns out that you may not have to sacrifice style for convenience after all. After announcing that the TSA would approve certain laptop bags that you wouldn't have to take your computer out of in the airport security line, the first prototypes were underwhelming, and had me thinking I'd just continue to take my laptop out of its bag. But now it seems that's unnecessary, because the TSA has approved a few common laptop styles that you won't have to remove your laptop from!
They are: Butterfly style, trifold style, and sleeve style, and this policy went into effect on Saturday.
The TSA specifically says no to backpack and accordion styles, and of course, gives the stipulation that carrying these styles doesn't guarantee that you won't have to pull your laptop out of its bag. But still, baby steps.

How timely! I was just looking at these today!
1i usually have my lappy in a sleeve inside a computer bag, but i have a double-size battery, so most sleeves dont fit it
2why do they continue to torture us!?? if it's approved, why on earth would you not get the convenience of using it?
3My laptop sleeve is approved.
4Does anyone know of a cute butterfly style that I can find in store?
