Twelve South’s new US$79.99 SuitCase is a minimalist hard shell case for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. I’ve found it especially suited to the latter thanks its longer battery life. I’ve tested it with a 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro. (See my review of the laptop...

The US$199 Inkling from Wacom (http://www.wacom.com) is a digital ink pen and receiver clip combination that allows you to draw or sketch anywhere and digitize those sketches.
Simply clip the receiver to your notebook or sketchpad and you’re ready to rock! The receiver captures all of the information from the pen. Push the button on the receiver to add new layers and set up the drawing for export to Photoshop, Illustrator, or Sketchbook Pro. This alone is cool enough but it does have some drawbacks, even on the sketching side.
I don’t travel as much as I once did. However, when I am on the go I pack my Retina Display MacBook Pro, and a couple of accessories: the power adapter and an external SuperDrive (the laptop doesn’t have a built-in optical drive).
To accommodate all these items I use the US$99 Travel Express from Waterfield Designs (http://www.sfbags.com). It’s a rugged, good-looking case. Add the optional shoulder strap for another $22 as I have and you also have a protective carry bag.
