Customer Review: Plenty of nooks and crannies, comfy backpack, easy access
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this backpack on an Amazon lightening deal, and for that low price it's an outstanding value. Although earlier reviews admit to some fumbling in what was actually delivered, the backpack I got was exactly what was ordered: a bright red-and-black backpack with a padded laptop sleeve. I relied on it during a recent trip, and it was exactly what I had hoped for. At my great price, it was a five-star purchase; I'm not sure that it'd be quite that special at list price.
Just as it's impossible for a house to have too much closet space, I don't think it's possible for a backpack to have too many zippered pockets or places to stuff things. This one wins in the storage category; it holds far more than I expected.
The laptop itself fits in the "rear" compartment, next to your back, so it's well protected; my MacBook fit comfortably, and slipped in-and-out for the nice people at the airport checkpoint with no trouble. My older Dell, which is too big for one of my older laptop bags (formally it's 15" but it's "big boned"), could be convinced to slide in -- as long as I didn't have to yank it out often. The "mid" spot has cargo space for papers and books, plus a couple of zippered pockets the right size for my travel mouse, network cable, and cell phone charger. As another reviewer mentioned, these areas are open to one another along the floor of the pack, so small items (such as a hair tie) could travel between them. That's a minor issue, at least once you recognize it and learn to store the hair ties elsewhere.
The outside zippered pocket is big enough for a small paperback book, not to mention my plane ticket and (since it took has little "cubbyholes") lots of other little stuff such a my iPod Nano. Every possible spot that could hold something has the facility to do so, such as a mesh sort-of-pocket on the side suitable for a bottle of water.
The straps are reasonably comfortable, too. I'm petite, and some backpacks seem to be made for Mountain Man, but this is fine. It's too early to judge sturdiness but the construction appears to be good. I could easily get through a busy tech conference with this bag. And I'm sure I will!
