it would be awesome if you could design a pocket for the laptop cord in the laptop messenger. Laptop cords are usually pretty bulky. It'd be great to just stuff it somewhere and be done with it.

There's a fairly-well pocketed accessory panel in the laptop messenger that would fit a laptop cord. Our messenger bags are rather minimalist in design so we don't dictate too much how the owner uses the space. It's mostly designed to simply be a big space to carry stuff.
Thanks for the idea, it has been noted!
