I had purchased bag after bag to carry my Dell Laptop, keep flight attendants happy and not dislocate my shoulder but none really fit the bill. This bag caught my eye at an airport kiosk and it's the best money I've ever spent.
It's the right size for the laptop and feather light. And, since it holds only the laptop, I'm not loaded down with too much stuff.
A very inexpensive way to transport your laptop.
Regardless of the price this is an excellent lightweight product. Its my 5th try and finding a case that won't let my laptop fall out and gives it scratch and dent protection in normal everyday use. I've used it for 18 months and its still working great. The only weak point is that after all its daily use the d ring attachment point is wearing and I've ordered a new case for the day the strap attachment wear seems critical.
The case holds my 15 inch Macbook Pro in the case case and there is room with the laptop for a couple magazines. The back pouch holds more papers, an ipod and my ac adapter. I load it up and its stood the test of time.
The best value in any computer related product I own.
My only caution is that there is no padding in the case so won't do much if you drop it. That being said its protected my laptop perfectly in everyday business use plus car, train and air travel. Its small enough to fit in cramped airplanes and large enough for its intended purpose.
I used to carry far too much with my laptop--I basically had a portable desk. This bag forced me to leave most of that behind and it was the best thing I've ever done! Simple, sturdy, no bulk and forces you to travel light. My first one finally is showing wear after 18 mos of hard travel. I'm ordering my second and would recommend this to anyone.
