5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, March 23, 2009

By	S. Green - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mobile Edge MESFBP ScanFast Backpack (Black) (Electronics)

This backpack is great. I have my 17 inch MacBook Pro inside a neoprene sleeve for extra protection (probably overkill) and it fits perfectly inside the computer pouch of the backpack. Zip it open and the pack lays flat on the xray belt at the airport. No hassles from the airport security and no more removing the computer from the bag. That in itself pays for this bag. One security agent thought I was removing my computer as I was unzipping it and when I just laid it flat he immediately recognized the symbol on the bag and the big letters "Checkpoint Friendly" on the pouch. We both chatted about the fact that you don't have the aggravation of removing the computer anymore. There are enough pockets to load all your other stuff as well. I tend to take along more than I really need. Fits easily into the overhead or under the seat. The material is strong and it carries comfortably well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Convenient at security, but inefficient space use, January 8, 2009

This is one of the very few TSA approved Laptop bags that allow you pass airport security quickly. You just open a zipper and the bag flaps open with one part holding the Laptop only and the other part holding whatever you put in the other compartments. It's easy to handle and saves indeed some hassle at the airport.
The downside of this bag is its inefficinet space use. It's a very large backpack (16 x 2 x 11.5 inches) and reserves unnecessarily ample space (about 16 x 1.5 x 11.5 inches) for the Laptop compartment. You are not allowed, however, to put anything else there, so a lot of space is lost. That's a pity because MobileEdge could have designed the Laptop compartment much slimmer which would have left more space for books, paper etc.
I also miss a strap at each side that support the zipper when your backpack is really stuffed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Functional and Durable, November 29, 2008

By	Average Joe 71 (Washington DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mobile Edge MESFBP ScanFast Backpack (Black) (Electronics)

This laptop backpack has lots of pockets for all of the accessories that must travel with a computer (power cords, mouse, etc.). The bag itself is a little larger than I would have expected but it does have to fit my 17" laptop. It is well padded. It lays flat for being x-rayed with the use of a single zipper. I would recommend this bag.
