eBags eTech 2.0 Macroloader Laptop Backpack

I was looking for a roomy backpack for travel. After extensive shopping, I settled on a different backpack.

Upon arrival, I found that that backpack just didn't have the room I expected. Therefore, I moved on to this

eBags backpack. I am delighted with it. Lots of room to stuff a light jacket AND my ample purse, along with

my ipad, water, etc. Thus getting around the number of bags being carried on to the plane. This bag appears

to be very well made. I usually don't write reviews until I have used the product extensively. I feel certain

that this pack IS what I need. LOTS OF ROOM!!! And it is a pretty color. ;)

I am a big fan of the eBags brand and own several items already including a Downloader laptop knapsack from 2005. That bag is still going strong but unfortunately I now need a bigger bag to accommodate my many larger and heavier school books. The Macroloader is a wonderful bag and will not disappoint.

The e-reader pocket is a great feature. It lies in the main compartment adjacent to the anterior wall of the laptop compartment so it's protected on that side. The main compartment is huge and can accommodate all of the books I need for class and then some. The front storage area is chock full of pockets both with and without light padding. The padded ones are great for your smartphone, voice recorder, camera or MP3 player. There are mesh pockets which are great because you can see exactly what's in there a good place for headphones, USB cables and small miscellaneous wires. The side pockets are a bigger than my Downloader knapsack. The mesh side pocket is great for a water bottle and since it's now bigger the water bottle seems fit much better. The other side pocket has a leash for your keys so you always know where they are in addition to loops for pens, pencils and lip balm. Last but not least, there is a front zip pocket for things you need to get to immediately.

A few changes I would like to suggest to the ebags design team is to include a 3-sided foam insert inside the laptop compartment. It would be a big help for folks like me who do not have a large laptop. I only have an 11.6" computer and it shifts around so much in the laptop compartment. In order to solve the problem, I insert the computer horizontally so it fits snugly without too much movement. I took the foam insert from my old Downloader and place it on top of the laptop. There is still plenty of space on top of that where I put my power adapter brick and emergency umbrella. For all of you out there with larger laptops, this bag will be perfect.
