Great as a book bag, I can fit a bunch of textbooks and notebooks inside along with all my everyday items like wallet, etc. Also, can use this to carry my laptop if I wanted too. The bag itself is sturdy and the straps feel like they will easily hold the weight of all my books. Fits over the shoulder and has outside zippered pocket as well. The black plaid is great. Love this bag!!

I wanted a bag that I could shlep my work around in. Not necessarily a laptop bag, though i use it for that sometimes.

Pros:

Very sturdy. I carry ALOT of files in this (and sometime a laptop too), and it's definitely up to the task.

It is lightweight. Since I put heavy stuff IN it, I don't want it to add to the weight I carry around with me.

It zips closed which is nice to keep things from falling out when i throw it in my car, or shove it in the luggage rack overhead on the bus.

It has end pockets that fit a small umbrella and a bottle of water.

The outer zipper pocket has room for a laptop charger, and organizers for pens and stuff.

Cons (and these are just my personal issues with it - they are not really product defects or anything):

It's not really all that attractive, but it was more important to me that it be lightweight and functional.

I does NOT fit a 17 inch laptop. NOTE: It does not claim to, so that's not really a defect, but since my work laptop is 17 inches and i sometimes have to take it home, it would be nice.

All in all, a decent value.

I just got this bag today and I love it already. It's just the right size to hold about 2-3 standard text books OR 2-3 2" binders, plus my laptop and large wallet. The outside zipper pocket has an organizer that holds a cell phone, another small electronic like an ipod, and three pen holders, plus lots of room to hold other stuff. The outside end pockets are big enough to hold my umbrella on one side and water bottle on the other. I feel so organized now!

This is a perfect sized bag for school--Enough room for everything, and a nice, secure area to store your laptop. And it's cute!

This is a very nice bag. It is everything that the description states. The colors are vibrant and pretty. I have machine-washed it with no problems. It seems to hold up very well to the wear and tear it gets.

I took it on an airplane trip with my laptop inside. Going thru security is always a hassle, but with this bag, it was very easy to get the laptop in and out of the bag, with little delay or difficulty. That in itself, was worth the purchase!

The only negative I have is that it is bigger than really necessary for a standard 15-inch laptop. You could certainly put a lot more in the bag with the laptop, which would make it way too heavy for the average traveler. But, all said, I am happy with this bag and will continue to get lots of use from it as a laptop bag AND a general tote bag.

Excelent tote, not too confortable for carrying a laptop, and it's too short if you want to carry it in your shoulders.

This tote was perfect for daytime excursions during a recent cruise. It held my purse contents and two beach towels without difficulty. I liked the fact that it could be zipped close, and could hold be used for a laptop. I did find it amusing that the calypso blue grunge pattern had lots of skulls. I should have paid more attention to the "grunge" part of the description.

This tote is very useful. I use it to go the gym and also to carry some stuffs and my netbook.

The most important thing in ordering a tote bag for me was getting the correct/accurate size. The tote bag I received was larger than I remember. The picture on line appears smaller and that is what I wanted.

I gave this bag as a Christmas gift. It was greatly appreciated. It was everything as described just a bit on the expensive side considering what features it offers.
