Customer Review: Perfect for a big laptop!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this backpack because I needed one to hold a Mac 17". The previous one I bought turned out not to really be big enough. This one is big enough and then some. I dare say it could hold a 19" laptop if there were such a thing. I love all the pockets. One can almost lose things with so many pockets. I love the separate compartment for my iPod, too. In addition, I love the bottle holder because of the adjustable chord to fit any size opening. My other backpack had two places for bottles but were both getting stretched. This bag has turned out to be big enough to hold my LCD projector as well. I love the handle on the top; very comfortable. The back straps are mostly comfortable. However, I have never encountered a backpack that I believe is truly comfortable. Maybe they exist.

Customer Review: It's a pretty good bag
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this bag because my last bag didn't fit my fat laptop in the laptop part. My laptop fits easilly here! I can also fit my laptop cooler that's rather large easilly in the bag with its fans still attatched. I can put a LOT of stuff in here.

Pros: Huge, comfy after you put your laptop in a soft case (which fits easilly even on a fat laptop), plenty of big compartments with some supported shape as well as some smaller compartments for your random small stuff, zippers zip ALL the way down to the bottom (way more than any other backpack I've had).

Cons: It was a bit uncomfortable with my laptop in it until I put the laptop in a soft case (though only a bit, it wasn't that bad), the compartment that's held by only plastic clips that would get rained in.

Customer Review: the best one for 17" notebook computer
Summary: 5 Stars

A while ago my comapny upgraded my laptop to DELL Precision M90 which is a good one but very heavy on the road with a case. It's ok with a carry case when you transfer at a small airport like Harrisburg,PA. But if it's like Philly or Boston's Logan airport, carrying the case and walk half a mile is painful. So I decided to go with a backpack.
This backpack got a good number of people reviewed and with a excellent rating, I want to give it a try when I saw it on the Amazon's today's deal with a attractive price. I am happy with it. My dell laptop fit perfect in this backpack and it still has many pockets for other stuff. The padding is thinner compare to most of the carry case. But the computer is still well-protected. Most important, carrying it is very comfortable.

Customer Review: BEWARE! This thing will hold a TON of stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an awesome notebook backpack but those with a weak back should proceed with caution when loading it as it will keep swallowing up stuff until you're not able to lift it onto your back! Very nicely organized and the quality appears to be topnotch and it's certainly a great value (paid $54.99). Use it to haul 17" notebook and HP portable printer (with their power supplies), over a dozen video cables, 15' heavy duty extension cord, camera tripod, USB hub, USB to serial adapter, assorted DVDs, LED flashlight, 30' tape measure, Leatherman Wave, etc. to my customers' homes.

PROS: tons of convenience, well thought-out storage, decently balanced, rugged construction

CONS: could be a bit hard to carry fully loaded for anyone of diminutive stature

Customer Review: Plenty of space, good backpack
Summary: 5 Stars

Plenty of space for your things. Has held up nicely and I usually put alot of things in my bag. I carry up to 60 lbs of stuff in here sometimes and it is still in good shape. Maybe a tad big for someone who just wants to carry the laptop and power adaptor with some books. But if you have a quantity of items you like to carry with you, this bag is great.

I like the bag alot. I can fit everything I want to carry in here and seems to be of good quality construction. I've even temporarily "lost" things in this bag because there is alot of different zippers and compartments and when you carry alot of items like I do, its easy to misplace something in the wrong pocket or to think you checked all the pockets, only to check later and find the item.
