Phorce Pro: The World's First "Smart Bag"

There's a "Smart" for every kind of piece of equipment you own these days – why not a smart bag? Phorce Pro suggests that they're the first to this market, bringing a bag that tells you how much battery life it's carrying. The battery it carries also powers your devices – up to three of them at once.

More importantly – since there have been bags that power your devices in the past – is the fact that this bag is able to charge your laptop as well, not just your smartphone or tablet. This is done with the "Phorce Pro Smart Power Core" – including a laptop charger, "universal laptop charging cable with 11(?!) connectors, MacBook charging cable, and worldwide travel charger for USA, EU, UK, and Asia.

The "smart" bit is included in an iOS or Android app. The app simply tells you how much battery power is in the pack inside your bag as well as how much time is left before each connected device is fully charged. The app will also send you an alert if you've accidentally left your bag behind.

Also included is the ability to convert from a messenger bag into a briefcase as well as a "360 degree expansion" to double the bag's size in an instant. Water-resistant fabric, protective padding, waterproof zippers, and coated natural canvas with dark gunmetal hardware are all included as well.

This bag comes in black and red and will be available for two separate prices, depending on if you'd like to charge your Mac or your PC. The Mac model will cost you $699 while the PC model will cost you $649 USD. They'll begin to ship on September 30th for the first time this year.
