$200 bag put a dent in my $2000 laptop., October 25, 2010
Beautiful bag, but really poor design. TUMI has been missing a great market - bags designed for specific laptops - a nice line of quality MacBook Bags, like the Kenneth Cole line, would be great. This bag highlights some of their most critical mistakes.
Most current computers, or at least many of the more expensive models, are widescreen models, and are wider then tall. To start with TUMI bags are too tall, they seem designed for a corporate computer from 10 years ago. But that is a minor problem compared to the glaring design defect this particular bag has.
High-end computer purchasers are also more likely to appreciate the extra quality a TUMI bag offers. Well, as just such a person I purchased this bag for my 15" MacBook Pro. It turned out to be a disappointing choice. The zipper for the rear slide-through pocket is so uncessarily large and unprotected that is when the bag is loaded it pin-points enough pressure to dent the outer aluminum body of a MBP.
All I can hope is that the dent does not cause any functional problems - it certainly has reduced the value of my brand new computer significantly. I would warn anyone using these bags about the possibility of this design defect.
