I LOVE a great bag!, February 19, 2010
This bag is all about the details. Really *Good* details.
I have a 15.6" HP laptop, with that bulky battery on the back, and wanted a bag that would let me put it in *without* having to take off the battery. This works perfectly!
I also wanted a bag that would work well for me for travelling with my laptop. This might not be the most conducive for going through security, but since they keep changing how we go through security... it's easier for me to be adaptable with a great bag. I like using a bright color for my travel stuff (luggage, etc.) to make them easier to spot.
I think the picture represents the colors very well. This bag appeals to me, because it wasn't boring black, and was a bit feminine (Red Blossom). I also like the light colored lining. Dark linings often end up being a black hole where I lose pens, jump drives, etc.
The connections that hold down the outside flap are perfect. Not time-consumingly awkward to open, but sturdy and secure. The zippers all seem to be heavy duty. The side pocket conceals a net perfect for holding a water bottle, or a compact umbrella.
The flat pocket hidden by the flap was a welcome surprise. I hate to carry a purse when I'm wearing a backpack, and this seems like a pretty secure place that would be challenging for someone to access without your knowledge.
The shoulder straps have some comfort padding to them, and there is also some shoulder and back padding... perfect, since the laptop would gouge your spine otherwise! It's not so heavily padded that you feel like you're wearing a pillow, or can't negotiate narrow places (crowds, etc.). Also, the handle on the top is a good design for picking up the bag without having to put it on.
This bag just seems very well organized, with lots of compartments and pockets for organizing the odds and ends. And *plenty* of space for some extra non-laptop stuff, without feeling like a sherpa on an Everest expedition. I LOVE a good bag, and this is great.

Perfect laptop backpack, May 14, 2010
Okay. First off, this thing is HUGE! I'm 5'7" and by no means a small girl. BUT, unless you're Mary Poppins and can make your 15"+ laptop fit in a smaller bag, then get a different bag. I have a Macbook Pro 15.4" with a neoprene case and it fits perfectly. Not too tight, not too loose when I put it in my bag.
Some things that I REALLY love about this bag are...
+ INCREDIBLY durable. This will last!
+ There are multiple secluded compartments. 2 zippered (laptop sized) compartments, 2 smaller (zippered/Mac charger sized) compartments.
+ WATERPROOF!
+ Modern snaps
+ The bottom of the backpack has hard plastic spikey-type panels to help your bag stay clean, upright, and not get worn out.
+ Comfortable straps and back-padding
+ Multiple security straps for across chest and waist. But, not too many where it's going to make you look like you're trekking across the Himalayas.-- whether you choose to wear them or not. They neatly tuck away so there's not straps dangling every area.
+ Sleek design (not bulky!)
+ VERY secure. You won't be worried that someone's getting into your bag.
+ Surprisingly spacious (you can carry a lot other than your laptop without it feeling like your stuffing the bag to capacity.
Only con: the size (on my back), but again how else are you going to carry a large laptop comfortably and securely?
Overall, I highly recommend this bag. I was weary about the cost, but this will last me a very, very long time.

Absolutely Love It, February 7, 2010
I am very satisfied with the quality. When my laptop and books are in it, the weight it distributed evenly. The inside has two main compartments. The rear one has a space for a laptop and a space for other items (books, whatever). The front large compartment has a net that divides it into two. Besides the two small pockets visible just below the flap, there is one more thin one that has spaces for a cell phone, pens, and cards--you could also put papers, a little book, and other small objects in that pocket. I bought this backpack for it's look and ability to carry a laptop. I had no idea what kinds of pockets/compartments were in it, so I'm glad I get to tell others.
