Four years of arguing over pockets, and this is what came out. The Protocol Backpack is a 20L tech pack that ALPAKA designed with YouTuber UrAvgConsumer. It is his first product. It has room for a 16-inch laptop, a gaming handheld and headphones, and every bag is numbered: only 1,000 made. Price: $279, sold only on ALPAKA’s site.
Work on one side, play on the other
The idea is one bag for the workday and the couch. A padded laptop compartment keeps a 16-inch machine locked in. Your Steam Deck-class handheld and headphones get their own spots, so they are not rattling around with your chargers. There is also a label system for the pockets, so you always know where the cable went.

Our last bag post was a pack with a built-in chair. This one is much less weird and much more for desk-and-device people.
