Loading my necessary pounds of paperwork and gargantuan, yet graphically chic, notebook into the control-freak carryon bag of old really wasn't working for me. I've been caught more than once dashing through the AA gate, 3-inch heels in hand, after being picked apart by airport security. But last time I had my great new tote--capacious yet streamlined--and I felt very... together. This tote gives style for the miles: topstitching to match my bag and shoes; pull out laptop section for a last-minute, laptop-free dart to the beach before flying home. Everything I need to get girl-y with my geek-y gear. It's The One!

I love this tote! I like the fact that it doesn't look like your typical laptop case--it's actually very attractive! I also LOVE the fact you can unzip the top and pull it out--very handy at airports! Lots of room for lots of accessories. It is big, but I don't see that as a negative. I looked at hundreds of totes before choosing this one and I don't think I could have made a better decision!

I ordered this bag along with two others for side by side comparison: Solo 15.4- Inch Womens Leather Laptop Carryall (Dark Brown) and Targus TLT004 15.4 Ladies Deluxe Tote.

Basically, the Targus and MobileEdge bags look absolutely identical from the outside. They both have durable nylon-y fabric for most of the bag except for a leather (or leather-looking) stripe around the top and for the handles. They are identical in overall size and capacity, which I found to be too large for my needs. They both seems pretty plain-vanilla and utilitarian and bulky. I'd say the Targus bag's leather trim is ever-so-slightly higher quality. The insides are fairly distinct - MobileEdge has a removable laptop compartment which I found really filled up the bag with lots of dividers, leaving not as much usable space, but a removable laptop compartment is not a feature I personally value. The targus interior is an interesting metallic copper/brown stripe while MobileEdge was black stripes. They both have cell phone pockets and a zipper pouch and exterior pockets (2 for targus, 1 for MobileEdge) that are placed between the handles on the exterior. I was pretty shocked that it seems one of these must be a knock-off of the other. Or perhaps that there is only so much variety in women's black laptop bags. If I needed a larger, more easy-care bag I would have chosen Targus but with MobileEdge very close behind. In the end, I kept the Solo bag because its smaller size and more interesting styling was an advantage for my needs (see the review for that bag).

I love that this bag is so fashionable and practical! It's so roomy, very comfy for my laptop to sit in, and the laptop case is removable so I can use it for a normal bag. The straps could maybe stand to be a little longer, but all in all this bag is a great investment!

This is a nice size but it looks very cheap. Functionally it would be good as it's big and has several compartments, but if you want it to look good, get something else. I returned this the same day it came in.

Very good bag! Only issue I have is there no inside organizer. No place to put pens and things, except on large open pocket. If there were a place to put pens and a pad or even a place to put business cards it would have been the perfect bag.

I bought this bag both for graduate school and work so I needed the bag to be very functional, but also nice looking and professional. I could not be happier. My 15" Mac powerbook fits very well and I can carry several files with me. Unexpectedly, the little detachable pouch ended up to be useful thing because I carry touch up powder and lipgloss it it. It's a great buy.

I've used this black bag exclusively for 5 years to tote my 15.4" screen laptop everywhere. This bag looks and functions as good as the day I bought it. It's a bit hard on my shoulder because I have a big laptop, but this is not the fault of the bag.

For holding files it is a bit deep, but I do use that space. I really like it because it doesn't show dirt and it's light weight. It fits over my shoulder, but I can also carry it with other things. The outside pocket and inside zip pockets are great features. I also like the three compartments on the inside.

Very durable and reasonable price. I have been using this for at least four years! and still in good condition. I use it almost everyday.
