Thule Gauntlet 3.0 15" Macbook Attache

Recently, I had the urge to buy a laptop bag for my old 2011 Macbook Pro after doing some hardware upgrade on it. And I am looking for a more special kind of hand carry bag rather than those typical laptop bag.

Also, it must be the kind of simple hard-case type and similar to a briefcase (weird preference) and open fully like a luggage if possible. After searching for some time, I came across this Thule Gauntlet 3.0 semi-hard case briefcase type of laptop bag. It also seems to withstand a certain degree of shock and the design is pretty modern to me (not those typical leather type of uncle briefcase).

They do have re-seller locally and I managed to find it. It cost $126 locally. Here are the pictures:

Pockets for misc stuff

Mini Review: The feel of the protective shell has a rubberized feel. And it seems to be able to absorb some sort of impact. It can't open up to 180 degrees. It also has the pockets to store some documents, charger or maybe even a jacket if folded nicely.

Holiday Inn Kemayoran

Recently, I had a business trip to Indonesia and I stayed in Holiday Inn booked by my colleague. From first impression, it looks like a new hotel to me and all the facilities is pretty new and clean which is important to me. I stayed in a Junior suite which has a mini hall, 1 bedroom and 2 toilets.

For surrounding facilities, it has a small shopping mall behind the hotel and can be accessed conveniently via the link way at the lobby area. It is basically a food mall with 80% selling different foods from local to international cuisines. Most of them are cafe concept stalls and the pricing is only slightly cheaper compared to my country.

Overall, it is a pleasant stay to me. Here are the pics:
