The My Documents folder found on Windows PC’s is a popular place where you find a bunch of your images, videos and other types of documents… hence the name. Now the My Documents folder has been made in to a laptop bag that lets you store all of your documents, ie your laptop, in a nice handy case.

The case it’s self is bright yellow to reflect what it looks like on the desktop. The font used is pixelated to give it that computer look. The laptop bag can hold laptops with screens up to 15.4″ in size.
