I recently received this bag as an early birthday gift, and I couldn't be more thrilled with it. My laptop is the ASUS Eee PC 901 8.9-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB Solid State Drive, Linux, 6 Cell Battery) Pearl White, and I wanted a briefcase-type bag big enough to hold the Eee, its peripherals and stuff I usually carry in my handbag. The Mobile Edge Element does the job quite nicely, and with plenty of style.

I love all the pockets inside, which allow me to be as organized as I need. So many, and several obviously designed for specific purposes: cell phone, PDA, business cards, even a flash drive (or your favorite tube of lipstick!). There are four compartments for paperwork and files (or magazines!). The central section (which is 14.5" x 12") is fully cushioned, so your laptop is well-protected. A matching detachable cosmetics case is generously-sized, so there's actually room for all my makeup products. And even with everything else inside, there's still room to tuck in an Eco Friendly Laptop Lunch Bento Box-PBA Free-Pink.

This bag is extremely well-made, but be aware that it's polysuede and faux leather, not the real thing, even though it looks and feels like it is. That's a plus in my book. I also appreciate that the detachable, padded shoulder strap can be expanded long enough to wear across your body for greater security while traveling. In fact, I can't think of a single thing I'd change about the Element briefcase!

UPDATE: There IS one negative about this briefcase: It's notably heavier than the streamlined microfiber bags. And once it's loaded with your stuff, it can be uncomfortable to tote around. I've now replaced this with a nylon laptop tote for everyday use, and save the Element for times when I "dress to impress." If I could, I'd change my rating to four stars.

I love this briefcase for carrying my laptop and accessories. It's pretty and extremely useful. I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend this item to anyone looking for a nice laptop bag.

This bag is the best bag I've ever owned and I've carried a briefcase for 30 years! It is lightweight, so when full, it's not pulling my shoulder out of the socket! It has plenty of pockets on the inside for all my stuff: a special holder for my thumb drive, cellphone, disks, business cards, pens etc. Oh, and computer, too! I have more than I can fill. There are 2 big outside pockets as well. I didn't think I'd use the cosmetic case that came with it, but it is large enough to carry plenty of small items and I am very glad to have it after all. I was a little worried about buying a bag sight unseen, but I am completely thrilled with this bag. No regrets!
