Laptop bag maker Speck is hoping to save you the hassle of taking out your laptop every time you go through airport security with the launch of a new laptop bag that circumvents the need.

Called the CorePack FLY, the airport checkpoint friendly notebook messenger bag splits in two like a butterfly to allow the storage and notebook compartments to separate and lay flat during screening.

Hoping to save you time routing around for your laptop in the overhead lockers on the flight, the company has also added a zip to the side of the bag to allow side access

Available in "Speakeasy Grey Pinstripe" and "Restart GrayScale Pixel" the bag will set you back $89.95.

  • This is great relief for me since when I am going to abroad with my laptop then airport security checking me a lot and my bag more than me.
    This is great solution for me.

  • Not in the UK.

    Airport security here do things by rote and are sh*t scared of change.

    When I have my laptop in a protective sleeve in my bag, they have me take the laptop out of the bag but not the sleeve.

    When I travel with it only in the sleeve, they have me remove it from the sleeve...

    Go figure eh?

  • I'll don't see much benefit in this. You're likely to still have to take the laptop out of it's sleeve. So I don't see any changes there inn the absolute. Posted by Flavio, New Zealand
  • I just got one of these and I am loving it.

    Last week flying from San Francisco to Seattle I just flipped the bag flat with my macbook still inside it and it went through security without comment. I picked up the handle at the other side and walked off without any hassle. Cool!
