This bag holds my laptop, extra-large Franklin Planner, several thick files, a binder or two, my purse, electronic accessories (pager, phone, etc.), lunch, water bottle, and still has some space to spare. If you are a student, work in technical or legal fields, or just want a double-duty bag you can carry to work and then take to the gym, look no further.

Under the flap you'll find a smaller zipper compartment perfect for cables and wiring, with extra little pockets sized for diskettes and pens. The zippered main compartment is *huge*, though my laptop is about 1" too tall to take advantage of the velcro closures on the laptop compartment flap--however, the flap also has an adjustable quick-snap strap to hold everything securely in place. The back of the bag also has a very large flat zipper pocket that can hold a bunch of legal-sized files with ease. In addition to the shoulder strap there is a handle on the top of the bag so you can carry it by hand.

The color description claims it is a bright, high-visibility citrus color and shows up as a cheerful yellow online. In reality this bag is a dark mustard-gold color, which took a little getting used to. The trim is reflective but not enough to be considered any sort of safety feature.

I liked this bag because it has a lot of space and now I can carry everything in one bag instead of three, yet still be able to mash it all under an airline seat (the back and bottom of the bag are constructed of solid black heavy nylon fabric). It's also a security advantage that it doesn't look as if it would have an expensive laptop inside.

I took a star off for the following points: inaccurate color description, smallish (10.5 x 12)laptop compartment though the adjustable strap allows larger units to fit, and because I think the balance of the bag would be improved by setting the straps slightly closer to the front of the bag. This is a bag that is most comfortable with the strap worn crossways over your chest (weight of the bag resting behind you), but most people carry loads on one shoulder only.

Overall, though, you can't beat the practicality for the price and I really enjoy using mine.

I bought this bag for my new laptop after try it in a shop just to see if the dimensions fit it. It is a huge bag and I think you can use it with every notebook. I don't like so much the color of this bag, but without this, it is an excellent product, easy to pack, you can hold many things besides your laptop like paper, CDs, battery, accesories or clothes ! And now, I cannot dispense with it ...

Nice looking bag. Laptop pouch way too small. Will not accommodate basic Dell notebook. I had to return this item.
