I am very pleased with this bag. It has a nice zipper pocket on the inside and plenty of pockets in the front to hold your mouse, power supply, etc. There's plenty of room for up to two normal sized text books and a notebook.

I suggest measuring your laptop before ordering. When I first got the bag, I had a 15" compaq and it fit perfectly. Of course after two weaks, that computer crashed and I got a new one.

The pocket of the bag is a little over 9 inches deep by 15 inches wide. The flap that goes around the top can make it accomodate a laptop an inch (maybe) deeper than 9 inches.

My new computer is a Dell Inspirion 1525. It fits snug and there's about 1/2 inch that comes out the top. I am not worried about anything happening because of this. The whole bag is very sturdy.

This bag is designed to be a great laptop messenger bag. It has a built in laptop sleeve for a 15" MBP, lots of pockets for various accessories, it's high quality, and costs only $60! I also like the simple, clean design. No weird logos, straps, stripes, or other standout features. I can carry this to a nice restaurant and it looks fine.

This is definitely a "kitchen sink" messenger bag. It will hold anything you can throw at it. When I go out in the day it carries my laptop, DSLR and 3 lenses. When I go out at night, I leave behind the extra lenses, carrying just my laptop, 5DM2 + 35mm f1.4. It even fits under the seat in an airplane.

I also purchased the Tenba photo insert which fits perfectly inside the Crumpler Dreadful Embarrassment.

The Dreadful already has a padded sleeve for a laptop. The photo insert adds padded sections for an SLR and 3 lenses.
