Do you have to carry laptops in a laptop case/bag?

I understand that a lot of people carry around a laptop bag but I don't get the point of it. My question is can you just carry your laptop in a backpack or a hand bag if not why? And has anyone try this before, if so was it convenient if not why?Do you have to carry laptops in a laptop case/bag?
Laptop cases are designed for laptops...





They are ';Crush-proof'; and sort of water proof...Do you have to carry laptops in a laptop case/bag?
Personally i use a backpack because i carry other things in the other pockets along with the laptop. But it is more of a preference thing because some people may like laptop cases or over the shoulder bags better depending on comfortability or conveniance or style. I would not suggest carrying it by itself only because you have a greater risk of the laptop getting knocked out of your hands and getting damaged.
You can carry your laptop around whatever way you want, unless you live in Germany under Adolf Hitler. No, my guess as to why people carry laptops in laptop bags is because it will help cushion it in case of a fall. Thats the only reason i would use a laptop bag.
You sure can use a backpack. They make those for laptops also. It is the reason for having a laptop vs. a desktop. A laptop goes with you so you can use it whenever you want to.
You don't have to carry it in a laptop bag, however most come with straps and such on the inside that help keep the laptop from being damaged by moving around and such.

yea you can... make sure theres not sharp plastic or anything in it that would scratch the outside of the laptop... backpacks work fine
The only time I've ever used a laptop case is A] Travel (planes) or B] Going outside in winter.


Bags work, but they dont have as much protection
I like to carry my laptop in my @ss, and as far up as possible.
a lot of ppl do. if you look around. look around college places or coffee shops
