Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Laptop "Briefcase" was a very apt description for this bag. It has 4 main zippered compartments, one clearly for a laptop as it is padded and unzips around past the bottom cornors to make it easy to put a laptop in or take it out, there is also a divider for papers and a velcro strap to keep your porable secure.
Then the next is for files, papers, whatever, could even fit a folded, light, change of clothes (but that would really be pushing it), then comes the "junk" compartment, every good case needs on, there are 3 pockets, one for a phone, another for a PDA perhaps, and a third for a big MP3 player, of course any of the three can be used for anything, I keep my passport and check book in two of them usually. It also has pen holders, another nice feature so you don't need to dig for pen.
Inside the "junk" section that also fits papers, is a pseudo-hidden inside zipper pocket, not sure what I would use that for, likely losing something I really need, but actually perhaps a good place to keep anything paper you don't want easily seen, like contact lists.
The final is a small front pocket, ideal for again, more loose stuff, but perfect for a wallet, tickets, and all your pocket junk you need in the bag for going through the airport or other situations where you need the stuff handy but don't want it in your pocket.
It seems every well built, lots of heavy sticking, solid zippers with removable pull cords. semi-stiff ribs for keep the shape, very thick botom material. The only sort of out of place thing on the bad is where ever important part is metal, the "D-Rings" for the strap holder are plastic, pretty beefy plactic, but not metal, so I am saving the ones from my old bag just in case one of these breaks, but most bags I looked at have plastic there now, so no points off.
I travel a lot and even when I don't I carry my bag to work everyday and like to get 5 or so years out of one, this one looks like it is up for the job. The padded strap that came with it was one of the best I have ever got with a bad, but I am hooked on those "CaseCrown Comfort Air Cell Padded Netbook Notebook Briefcase Bag Shoulder Strap", you can even get them here on Amazon.
I picked one over 5 years ago and while it is still going strong, all I can say is once you get one and if you carry a med-heavy bag a lot, you will be wondering why you had not got one years ago, one of the very few travel gadgets that work.
Last note, even with all of this the bag empty is pretty light, not cheap light, but good light.
