5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic, period, June 5, 2007
This review is from: Lowepro Tropolis 1300 17" Notebook Backpack (Personal Computers)
I bought it from amazon for $59.99 for my HP Pavilion 9500 notebook (17''). This notebook fits nicely in it. The looks are simply amazing with a bit of leather in front which enhances the cosmetics of it. There is ample cushioning everywhere (sides, bottom, front, back). At the back where the backpack rests against your back, there is a lot of cushion. The shoulder strap has cushion so your shoulders are at ease while carrying it. This bag is not heavy at all if you think about the fact that it is meant to carry a 17'' laptop. You can carry other stuff such as few files, folders and maybe one or two not-so-heavy books. Front pocket can be used to carry stuff such as ipod, camera, cell phone, pens/markers, cigarettes, notebook lock etc. This is a sturdy, well constructed and classy looking bag with ample and relevant features. When I carried my laptop and mounted it on my shoulders, I could not feel the weight of my laptop (9.0 lbs including adapter). Go for it and you won't be disappointed. One of the best out there for a 17'' giant :-)

Satisfied Daily User, January 30, 2008
This review is from: Lowepro Tropolis 1300 17" Notebook Backpack (Personal Computers)
I use this bag in my daily 45 minute subway commute. The bag is not light, but not any heavier than other well padded bags. If you're worried about weight, you shouldn't be carrying around a 17" laptop.
I was looking for a bag with the following characteristics:
1) Small bag size - Don't want to hit people in the face while riding on the subway
2) Reasonable capacity - Need to carry my lunch and gym clothes
3) Good weight distribution - Used a messenger type bag before and it completed screwed up my shoulder and back
4) Professional style - Don't want to look like a grade schooler wearing a backpack
On "1" and "3" I give five stars.
On "2" and "4",I give four stars. I can fit my gym clothes but not my sneakers. And as far as the style, it looks professional but the little "stormtrooper"-ish.

Awesome, June 24, 2007
This review is from: Lowepro Tropolis 1300 17" Notebook Backpack (Personal Computers)
I was a tad nervous that the pack would be too small, and almost made the mistake of going with a different style. I am glad I stuck to this model, and it was the previous customer review that swayed my decision in this direction. I have started comuting via bicyle to work, and all items including my Dell Inspiron 9300 fits into the pack with room to spare. It is quite comfortable and I very satisfied with the product.
