Saw this in a magazine and thought it might be just what I needed to contain my laptop mess. Found it locally for much, much less than here or at Belkin's site (hint - the store has a bulls-eye for a logo). My 15" Powerbook fits great, room for the charger and my trackball plus pens and a ruler. Before I bought this, everything I just listed was in a different room, which made working at home a mess. It's sturdy enough to be left upright by the sofa in the living room, and the handle makes it super easy to use. I'd give it 5 stars if it had rubber feet - I'm afraid sliding on the floor is going to lead to an early demise.

I needed a place to keep all the accessories and my laptop together and this seemed like a good solution. Let me just say though that it is very difficult to get my 15.4' Dell in and out of.. It is tight! I found that if I put my laptop into the sleeve I bought it is easier to get out, I don't know why since it adds to its thickness but I think makes it smoother to pull out. The handle is right in the way of trying to pull the laptop out and makes it difficult. I also think that this is way over priced and only bought this with a special offer and rebate otherwise I can't imagine paying the 50-70$ prices I have seen online. I like having everything together and next to my chair and it does have three seperate compartments to keep things, laptop, small comp. and med. comp., which are tight to and if you squeeze to much into take up more laptop space because the walls are flexable.. I like it and would buy it again (for a deal) and think its a good idea if it's what you need, but has a few issues I thought maybe you'd like to know.

I love the idea and the look. I really like the product but it was designed too small and the handle is in the way. My 15.4" Dell will not fit in it.

I absolutely LOVE this for keeping my laptop/accessories handy near my favorite chair. The product description says that it will accomodate a 15.4" or smaller and it does, but just barely. I also wish that it was made in a larger size to accomodate 17" laptops. I use it with my 17", I just turn it on it's side.

Thanks for the bullseye tip...saved $20.00 and didn't have to wait for shipping. Great little tote. Holds laptop, cord, and small book. Fits great beside the couch. Handle is sturdy and works great to carry around the house, or over to a friends. Both my husband and my sister really liked it! I posted some pics also.

I just purchased this item at Target and was instantly attracted to the sleek design and the sturdiness of the product. By the way, I got it for an incredible $14.50 since it is on clearance (9/14/09). Don't wait long though there was only 1 in the store I was in. I love that I am able to completely free up my desk drawer! I can store my battery and my mouse also. My 14" laptop fits perfectly and looks great too beside my desk. I was thinking that I may have to return it when I read in the reviews that it doesn't hold the larger laptops, since I intend to get the 17" or 18" laptop, but was reassured when I read that it can easily be stored sideways. I would not pay $40+ for this when the full price at Target is only $28.99, but they will probably no longer carry them after this. Amazon's price is pretty great too with free shipping also!

I just bought this today. I agree with the other reviewers, it is a bit pricey online. I bought mine at Target for only $24.99 (and that is the regular price). It is too small for my 17" laptop, but I have the laptop in a foam sleeve and slide it in the tote on its side (like it is kept in a backpack). I like the extra pockets for the power supply and head phones. I like being able to get the laptop out quickly without zippers and a bulky bag. Looks orderly and neat beside the couch, unlike a computer backpack or messenger bag, which I think looks sloppy out in the livingroom. Great Product, I just wish it was big enough to hold the laptop the other way too. All in all I LOVE this product, it keeps everything together and very handy.

I had been looking for something to keep my laptop to use around the house and this fits the bill. It has three compartments, a small one that I I use for the cord, a larger one for the laptop and mid size one (on the same side as the small) to hold books, papers etc..I have a mini net book and and ut fit perfectly in the the medium sized compartment...no more laptop laying on the floor or whatever..glad I purchased it

My wife wanted a place next to the couch to put her MBA 13" and a paper notebook.

It fits perfectly and looks nice.
