The Tumi Alpha T-Pass Medium Laptop Brief met or exceeded all of my admittedly high standards.

In looking at the bag, I am shocked how much I am able to fit comfortably within the bag. My daily contents are: 15" MacBook Pro, Kindle, iPad/iPhone, removable hard drive, Bose QC2's with carrying case, newspaper, magazine, Netflix DVDs, pack of gum, passport, and all applicable chargers.

I travel between 20-30 round trip flights per year. This bag is specifically engineered for a business commuter. In addition to holding up to every stress test imaginable, this Tumi is comfortable to carry, easy to mount to your suitcase, fits underneath an economy class seat and it's very classy looking.

Perhaps the best feature is the T-Pass. Put your laptop in the padded laptop pocket when you pack, when you head through security simply unzip one zipper and put your bag through the x-ray machine. No hassle when flying domestically. On international legs, I've been asked to remove my laptop about 75% of the time.

A perfect 5 out of 5 stars: I'm not sure if Tumi is even able to improve this incredible product. Have recommended it to many of my colleagues, several of whom have said when their existing bags run their course they will upgrade to Tumi.

I have owned this bag for over 10 years and it is still performing well. The ballistic nylon holds up better than any other bag I have owned. Although more expensive, this bag is certainly worth the price. Before this bag, I seemed to go through one every year or two because straps would break, zippers would falter, or holes would appear -- leather bags being the worst of them all. Being black, this bag matches everything and because of the nylon you never see scuffs or scratches. Highly recommended if you want to buy a bag once and not think about getting a new one for 10+ years. Because it is soft, I have also found it flexible enough to carry and pack the things I needed.

I would not recommend the larger expandable bag from my experience, as you could likely pack too much in it and make the bag uncomfortable (weight perspective to carry)...unless for some reason you like carrying a really heavy bag with you.
