5.0 out of 5 stars Fills its purpose fantastically., August 2, 2009

By	K. Kelly - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brenthaven 2251 MetroLite BackPack (Titanium/Orange) (Electronics)

This backpack is slim. It is designed to carry a laptop, a couple spiral notebooks and maybe a 1" binder. This does not carry your books for all 4 periods, and makes no claim to do such. For me, I wanted a compact pack which I could justify carrying only my laptop in (without the excess material for my laptop to slosh around in when empty). The pockets are appropriately numerous and likewise designed to fit your very specific laptop accessory needs.

Best features: very robust laptop compartment keeps a notebook very safe; ergonomic shoulder straps (there are 2 of them = not metro!) and mesh back padding (minimal back sweat!); looks pretty, in a not-at-all-metro kind of way (which is important).

This the perfect laptop bag. If you are looking for the perfect laptop + textbook bag, I think it also comes in a larger model for that reason. Check it out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Top handle breaks easily, February 19, 2009

By	P. Murakami (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The top handle stitching broke within a month. Had to pay to ship it back to Washington for repair, going for a week and a half with no bag. After I got it back, the same thing happened again a few weeks later (this time on the other side of the handle). Sent it back again (again at my expense of cost and time). Once the seam bursts like it has, it starts ripping down the length of the rest of the seam, at which point it's only held to the bag by weak stretchy material that will soon rip itself. They would not refund the item (after 14 days from the date of purchase), only repair, replace, or maybe exchange. I only carry my macbook pro in it--I do not abuse the bag. I have reinforced the top handle of this third bag myself by wrapping it up in duct tape. The rest of the bag is good.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you want a shiny turbo jet pack, this is for you. :), November 7, 2009

This review is from: Brenthaven 2251 MetroLite BackPack (Titanium/Orange) (Electronics)

Although it looks great in the picture, I was surprised to see how shiny it was. To be honest, the look and feel of this backpack are very cheap. The shoulder straps were uncomfortable and shoddy. It looked like I paid $20 for this backpack. I was not impressed with the inside as well; the padding around the laptop was minimal. Finally, when I put it on my back, it felt like a huge and stiff box was on my back. I was ready to turn on the jets and fly away. But then I realized that although this looks like a jet pack, this is only a very ugly and poorly-made laptop backpack. Sorry, nothing good to say here. I returned this the very next day.
