Customer Review: Can't be beat for the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this bag for $16 but even at its current price of $20 it's a steal.
I intended to get an expensive, but good quality, bag because I bought my 15.4" laptop (HP dv6830us) as a desktop replacement (and home entertainment center) and did not intend to travel much with it (getting a work laptop I'll travel with more). This bag was PERFECT!
The first and most important thing to look for in a laptop bag is padding. Anyone who's had a laptop for a long time will likely tell you that. This bag actually has a decent amount of padding on all sides of where the laptop is kept. I've actually dropped the computer from a couple of feet off the ground (on accident) and it didn't damage the computer at all. If you tossed this from several feet up or against a wall or something, the padding probably isn't strong enough to protect you ;) For everyday situations though, this should be sufficient. However, if you're going to travel with your computer a lot or are quite worried about dropping it you may want to look into a higher end bag with more padding.
Despite being a thin bag, it has plenty of room. I was quite impressed with this as it was one of my concerns before I bought it. The laptop pocket fits the laptop nice and snug, and has short velcro strap to secure it even further in case you forget to zip it or the zipper breaks. The pocket in front of it is semi-accordian style so that it can expand a bit more if you put bulky things in it. Then there are the pockets depicted as being for CDs, which I clip things onto and put cloths and Tylenol in. Then there's the pen/pencil loops and an additional pocket for a small personal electronic (I keep my mouse in there, but it easily can hold a digital camera). Plus, it has a slip pocket in the back for thin items (like loose paper) that I keep my ethernet cable in.
So I usually can easily keep my laptop, the laptop battery, an ethernet cable, a dust cloth, pens and pencils, hand sanitizer, my VX revolution wireless mouse, a mini-USB cable, my mp3 player (iRiver clix), and some Tylenol in this bag with PLENTY of room to spare in the front pocket. I've even fit my big external hard drive in there (though it weighs it down).
The cloth quality overall is pretty nice, and the strap is sturdy as is the handle on top (padded with rubber, or something like it). The bag can feel a bit heavy (though I don't think that's a specific problem with the bag), but the strap doesn't ever hurt me and it's quite a while before weight becomes an issue.
I highly recommend this bag for the price-conscious laptop bag shopper! It's the best I've seen so far for the money!
