(More customer reviews)The Microsoft 17" MT Checkpoint-Friendly Portfolio (39107} strikes a nice balance between form and function. While it doesn't look large enough to swallow my ASUS N73JN 17" widescreen, it does so with ease and with room for much more. In my "fill it up" test, in additon to my laptop I used two large interior pockets for my Logitech Trackman Wheel Optical (Silver) and for the ASUS battery charger and cords. Still lots of room. Next went in an assortment of pens, a writing tablet, and some business cards. Into the removable and expandable file folder went 3 manilla folders with an assortment of documents. Sound like it's filling up? Wrong. Next went in my Logitech Comfort Lapdesk. Now the interior of the bag is getting full, although not yet filled to capacity so I added some keys, a wallet, and gave up. I couldn't think of anything else I would normally take on a trip. Next, on the outside, in goes the mp3 player another big set of keys and a bottle of water. That left empty a pocket for airline tickets. Oops, here's another pocket secured with a magnetic flap. Room for the cell phone, more pens, an ipod, more business cards. Well, you get the picture and yet there is still more room. A suitcase it isn't, but it just has an incredible amount of organized space with pockets that aren't too small for the necessities.
It addition to being well laid-laid out, the fit and finish is very nice. There is a padded shoulder strap included but I prefer to use the hand grip. Everything lines up with no loose ends or strings. Zippers work without hanging up or sticking. Everything works as it should in a good quality bag. The only place I could knock off half a star would be in the padding around the notebook compartment. The padding is there, I just thought it could have been a little more robust. Although the images of the bag made me assume it was a light to medicum grey, in reality it that it is a charcoal grey, almost black, with blue and grey interior trim.
All in all, this bag is a great choice and I'll be using it for many years to come.
