Customer Review: Almost the perfect laptop bag....
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Nice and roomy, lots of compartments, and great features! I wanted a bag for my new 17.3" laptop, and didn't like the prices of what I was finding at Walmart and other places. Then I found this nice bag and it's just about the perfect bag.
Reading from the material that came with the bag:
"Features:
*External SpeedPocket secures cell phones, wallet and keys for easy access
*Internal Power Pocket holds bulky power cords, book and other accessories
*Inside accessory pockets organize a USB, portable mouse, iPod and pens
*Document compartment fits file folders or magazines
*Luggage strap securely attaches messenger bag to most rolling luggage"
One nice feature is that the compartment for the laptop is on one side of the bag, and then areas for files, notebooks, and other sundries is on the other side. The laptop compartment is accessed by a zipper that goes down 3 or so inches on either side..i.e. it doesn't zip all the way open so that the laptop slides down in. Then, the other side has roomy areas for files, a zipper compartment (about 7" x 12") where you can store pens, keys, credit cards, money, etc., and everything on that side of the bag is covered by a flap that secures at the bottom with a hook-type closure. This closure doesn't close tightly like a snap would, but I actually prefer it because I don't have to wrestle with a snap. I it should come loose, I believe the structure of the bag and the weight of the flap would hold it pretty much in place...and the zipper compartment would be closed to avoid spilling anything. The flap also contains another zipper compartment on its front for really easy access without having to access areas under the flap. Also on the back is the luggage strap with a velcro closure. Overall, the bag seems to be well-padded to protect the contents.
The only negative is very small, but I don't like the fact that the shoulder strap (if used) has metal and plastic parts, which makes me worry that the plastic could fail/break at some point, since a rather heavy laptop is being carried, along with other items. I will most likely not use the strap at any point, but I think a re-design would be in order, as this really is a very nice and useful bag. (I did feel I needed to score a 4 for durability for this reason.)
