The Backpack Factor (Espresso/Latte) combines traditional urban-messenger backpack styling with a dual compartment design. Features include well-padded interior able to fit most 15.4" notebook computers (including wide-screen versions), a generous file and personal accessories compartment and pleated pockets for cords, adapters. Combine this with a slim-styled shoulder harness with breathable DryFlow Mesh and you have the perfect pack for whatever the work-day dishes out to you.
I was looking for a slightly smaller laptop backpack to use when I am traveling internationally-- and this bag is perfect! I've had it for several weeks now and haven't found one thing I don't like. The well padded laptop section is plenty big for my 15.4in Dell Studio laptop.
Pros: very well made, comfortable; 2 mesh side pockets; plenty of types of pockets for various items; more compact than a typical backpack; unique styling; handle on top makes it easy to carry it at your side as well.
Cons: Main compartment doesn't zip closed so there's some risk of things falling out if it tips over. Smaller size could make it less useful for a student who needs to carry more than 2 text books at a time. Cell phone pocket on strap is too small for larger cells or iPods.
I've always liked backpacks, but some styles that fit laptops are just a bit too outdoorsy looking for me. This Factor is really cool because it's comfortable, looks a little more hip and urban, plus I really like the two-tone brown. I can keep my laptop safe and stash extra stuff like sunglasses, keys, cellphone in the extra pockets.
A Lowepro backpack for as little as $12.99? And a stylish one at that. You gotta be kidding. I can't tell you whether you'd love it or not. But someone must've screwed up in corporate pricing or quantity. It's a bargain. I got one and I love it!
