As somebody who brings a plastic box of food to work regularly (food on campus blows bigtime), some of the slim bags would be fine for a laptop but fail to hold a laptop and Tupperware. This may not be an issue for you, but it's a complicating factor for me. You might want to go the other direction, I've seen some attractive leather bags with front buckles that can hold a laptop quite easily. They're more satchelish than briefcasey, but they have character. The shoulder strap quality varies, since they're primarily meant to be handle-carried, but some have a decent shoulder strap apparatus.
