Gregory Fury 40 Backpack

Gregory Fury 40 Backpack, Cobalt Blue, LargeI've had this pack out twice now, and I'm delighted with it. Very comfortable loaded up to 27 lbs or so (maybe more -haven't tried). No bottom or side access to the main compartment, but lots of very functional exterior pockets. Gregory packs tend to fit a more curved spine like mine better than any other brand I've tried, and that's true for the Fury.

I currently have a Z35 backpack which I really LOVE. I wanted just a little more room and I wanted to keep the handy outside pocket, but the new Z40 does not have it, so I bought this. It looks like the Z35 in the picture, but it arrived in a glorified garbage bag that was about 1X2 feet in size. That's because there is NO support NO frame in the back at all. This pack is NOTHING more than a glorified duffel bag! I returned it immediately. I wander what Gregory is thinking when they made this thing! Your back will sweat like crazy with this thing.

I looked all over the web looking for pictures of this pack, and there are almost none out there that show the pack pannel. I guess this is on purpus, so DONT BUY IT TILL YOU TRY IT AT A STORE.

If your from Gregory I think your marketing is a terrible. The information on your website is very limited and your product line needs to be more organized. Why did you make a Z40 that looks like the Z35 but completely do away with the expandable pocket? Why not simply make a larger Z35 which is your best-selling backpack. Instead of like a backpack you make it like a piece of luggage! The Jade 34 is make just like the Z40 but the Jade 40 is made like the Z35???

Scuba Deluxe Mesh Backpack

Scuba Deluxe Mesh BackpackThough I wasn't sure what the brand name of the bag was, this turned out to be: Akona Deluxe Mesh Backpack (AKB234)

This bag is made of very sturdy, high quality material and I'm very happy with it.

There are 2 minor problems.

1) The "water proof pouches" don't have water-proof zippers. If you submerge the bag in the dunk tank (as I did) don't expect the contents of the pouches to remain dry. In fact, the pouches will fill with water completely.

2) The drawcord at the top of the bag had a cheap piece of plastic on the end which broke off on the bag's first use. A stopper knot works just as well. Also, the Drawcord Barrel Lock's spring is not strong enough. when one picks up the bag the barrel lock slides out of place and the bag opens. I'm poking around the net for a replacement barrel locks now.

High Sierra Tech Series 59205 Hawk 45 Internal Frame Pack

High Sierra Hawk 45 Frame Pack Amazon/Pine/LeafBeen traveling the world for 7 months with this pack, so I feel I can write an accurate review now. I was attracted by the light weight and the price, and I haven't regretted the purchase. It has held up well despite getting tossed around a lot, used as a seat on the floor of many a train or bus, or squished into overhead storage bins. No seams have come apart, but the little plastic toggles at the end of every cinch-strap disappeared within the first month. No loss, though...simply knotted the loose ends together. It's a "stovepipe" style bag, meaning whatever's on the bottom will be buried unless it's unpacked or you go up through the zippered sleeping bag compartment. Many people prefer a side-zip style because of this, but I tend to keep my more valuable items down there so they're hard to get at by sticky-fingered types on packed busses and whatnot. The included rain cover works well in all but the most torrential downpours, and even then only the top of the backrest gets wet. I've found the benefits of the arched mesh "Air Flow" back cooling design to be negligible; in hot, tropical countries like here in Sri Lanka your back is going to get sweaty no matter what the mesh still presses onto your clothes the same as a normal pack would and there isn't much air flowing through there. One nice side effect is that if you pack the bag with your heavy gear down at the bottom, the arched frame keeps most of the weight on your hips and off of your shoulders. The shoulder straps aren't adjustable, but they've been comfortable on my 6'3", medium sized frame. Mesh elastic side pockets can each hold big 1.5L water bottles with ease. Hidden zippered pocket under the top makes for a nice place to stash journals, souvenirs and such. The 45L is small enough to be allowed as carry-on baggage on every flight I've taken it on through a wide variety of airlines (so long as you keep the contents to under 11 kilos you won't even have to check it in). Souvenir patches glue tightly to the nylon fabric, but the glue doesn't permeate through to the inside. Doesn't sound like much, but previous bags were a pain to try to get patches to adhere to without sewing them on. Only other complaint would be that the back rails aren't adjustable like in higher-end packs, meaning even if you're packed lightly, the bag is always the same height; the upper pocket just droops down to however high your gear is when you buckle it closed. I chose a bag in the gray and burnt-orange color, and it's held up well and resists looking dirty despite the fact it must be filthy. Much more expensive bags by Deuter look really similar but perform the same from what I've heard. All and all a nice pack for the cheap price. If mine fails as I continue along on this trip you'll be the first to know!

This pack is absolutely terrific. Just used on a trip from Georgia to Olympic Park, Washington. Carried onto the airplane no problem. Stows overhead easily. Plenty of room and fully adjustable. The mesh back was a key issue for me and it works great. Kept my back comfortable and cooler than with my older packs.

The price is great compared to most other bags with same size and features. I paid $85 on amazon (with Prime). I had been planning a trip to climb Kilimanjaro and needed my first bag. The bag came and i worried it maybe too small. However, so long as you pack each light, i was able to pack a weeks worth of clothes and gear (around 30 lbs). I did not need to carry food and cooking supplies. I was also able to use this as my carry-on without problems. the camel-back pocket works great and has a hose hole on both sides. The bag could use an extra pocket on both sides just for convenience for smaller supplies and quicker access, but is very useful with the few it does have. The built in rain cover is plenty big and durable even with extras strapped outside the bag. The straps and frame are perfectly comfortable for 30lbs and 5-15 hrs a day. The bag made it through the 2 week trip with heavy usage with minimal wear and tear. I did notice a few seams starting to pull apart once i was home and unpacking but nothing that was even close to something i would be worried about yet or even while on the trail. The most important stitches and seams were fine.

I bought this pack based on its size and price. I love it, it is lightweight, has extra compartments in the waist straps and a very appropriate handle I never seen in similar packs. I recommend it.

This was what I expected and a well thought out pack, good quality. One flaw, the handle on the front compartment had missed stitching and I will have to have someone stitch the under side material where the stitching was missed, otherwise a great pack. Quality control needs to be checked by the manufacturer. Other wise would be 5 star.

Jordan Flight Sacky Style # 451880-104-OSIt was made ver poorly, most of the bags are very heavy and I liked them very well but not this one at all. Even the strings were made very poorly to tighten up the top of the bag. I wish I would not have bought this item.

Manhattan Portage The Empire Jr. Small Messenger Bag

Manhattan Portage The Empire Jr. Small Messenger Bag, BlackI've been a commuter for about 10 years now, and this is my favorite of the 4 bags I've gone through. I've used it about 5 times/week for at least 4 months. It's extremely comfortable I've had almost no problems with it at all, no matter what I carry it it which is much appreciated. The back area is well padded and breathable. It has a mesh back on the pad that keeps my back from getting as sweaty as some that just have the nylon directly against your back. The shoulder straps are perfect. There is a side slit to access stuff a bit more easily. I really appreciate the safety stripe and bright color I mainly wear dark clothes, so it's nice to not have to worry about that with this pack. As much as I love black and olive green, it's nice to have an orange pack with a reflective stripe every day at both rush hours. I've not had to weather any huge storms since we're in the middle of a drought, but it's gotten me through two light storms with perfect dryness. It's go an outer pocket that you can carry a jacket in, some waterproof pockets that are smaller, great reflective straps and a flap that's big enough to cover the whole thing. The closure velcros shut and folds over under the flap for extra protection and security. Like I said, this is my favorite pack so far. My only suggestions the inside lining is black, which makes it harder to find stuff when I'm changing in the dark-ass closet in my office. I'd like a ligher colored lining, like yellow. I'd like more inner pockets, which I suppose I could add. The handle on top is awesome, but if I forget to fold it down into the window, it rubs on my neck the whole ride. But, compared to all my other packs, this is FAR beyond good. Each pack has a serial number too, so you can register them and get a follow up if you ever have any problem. I'd probably give this a 4.5, or 95%, but I'm the only review, and really want to stress how much I love this pack. VERY high quality.

My wife uses a small Portage bag as a purse, and also loves it.

Le Donne Leather Womens 3 Compartment Back Pack

Le Donne Leather Womens 3 Compartment Back PackI gave this item as a graduation gift. I have received very good feedback from the recipient. I would recommend it to anyone. :)

Velcro tab closing the top flap was cheap-looking, loud, and annoying; leather lining the top of the pockets inside was becoming discolored; purse was made of soft, pretty leather, but I had to be so careful not to set it down on the floor or ground to avoid getting it ruined = not worth it, needed something sturdier

SwissGear 1591 Black with Red Accents Backpack

SwissGear 1591 Black with Red Accents BackpackBought this to take to Comic-con in San Diego this year and it held a ton of my stuff. Has well thought out design for pockets and zippers. The "stand-up" handle on top is a nice feature that I used a lot. I also like the iPod pocket with headset access hole for keeping your mp3 player inside the bag. My lenovo T400 15.4" laptop fit nicely into the laptop slot and it has a velcro strap to keep it in place. Very nice bag and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I considered a more expensive version of the SwissGear backpack line, but I'm glad I went with this one. It's a great value.

Well, the title says it all the bag is great but is really not the same shown in the picture. The red accents are more than the ones we see on the picture. Still this is a great bag, perfect for laptop carrying.

Buy SwissGear 1591 Black with Red Accents Backpack Now

First of all I have to say this is probably the best backpack I've ever seen in terms of construction quality and finish, this thing is ready to hold whatever you throw at it without tearing apart, trust me, it looks more like a camping backpack than a notebook one. It has pockets for virtually anything you want to store, and even pockets inside pockets. The cellphone pocket is a little narrow unless you have a really small cell, I have an LG Cookie and had to push really hard to get it in.

The only downside is the this baby is HUGE, don't be fooled by the pictures (I was), it is a pretty big backpack, I'm almost 6ft tall so that doesn't usually happen to me with a backpack, it did with this one. Like I said, it looks more like a camping backpack with a notebbok slot, I was looking for something more suited for the urban use. I sadly had to return it and continue looking for something smaller with an awesome build quality as this one, which I'm sure will be hard to find at this price range.

I was looking for a backpack that should look professional and at the same time be light, practical and ergonomic.

This one is great by all means, but for the weight and location of pockets.

It's got a steel made handle and other small parts that together with the robust fabric add up to a weight that is more than I was expecting (though should enhance a longer lasting).

Also, pockets and computer compartment are high in the bag, which is great for easy access but bad for its gravity center (it can't stand still without flipping to the front when laying on the floor, for example).

Want SwissGear 1591 Black with Red Accents Backpack Discount?

I bought this backpack for hiking and I love all the features like sunglass holder, ipod w/ headphone slot, laptop pocket, water pockets. It has lots of pockets for different items. I don't know why it isn't labeled as a "computer backpack" since it has the laptop pocket. Descripton says it fits laptops up to 15''. The one I received looks identical as shown in the picture unlike the other reviewer.

Dakine Rider's Duffle Bag

Dakine Rider's Duffle Bag, Large, BlackI am a mountain biker so i need to carry lots of stuff for my trips, this bag is perfect when you need separate insulated pockets to carry your change clothes and your dirty clothes without mixing them. Also this bag has lots of space for additional gear as helmets, gloves etc. I recommend this product if you carry lots of stuff in your mountain biking trips!

Carries everything i need for a day trip riding. Extremely big... Might get the smaller one later on. I hate writing things when i dont want to.

This is a quality DURABLE bag; the price is hefty, but it is lifetime guaranteed, and PERFECT for the sportier--I use it for Broomball and Dek Hockey. I love this bag. The prints are what make it even more appealing.

Good bag but much larger than it appears. Holds enough clothes for two weeks but much too heavy for me to comfortably carry when it is fully packed so I tend to just rely on a large suitcase with wheels. I guess the dimensions did not seem nearly as large as the bag would actually be.

Size is very generous but I ended up dragging it through the train station because I could not carry it.

Kelty Women's Redtail 26 Daypack

Kelty Women's Redtail 26 DaypackI really wanted to love this backpack. It's made of what appear to be nice, sturdy materials. The fabric doesn't feel cheap at all, and is a good thickness. The padded straps are super soft and cushiony. The color scheme is really nice, the carabiner loops are well placed, and I love how there are handles at the top and bottom to make it easier to grab the bag. The pockets on the inside of the bag are also well thought out. I have a bag from another similar manufacturer, and their bags are strangely narrow and deep. Kelty's has good dimensions, and isn't too big or small for a day pack. The sternum strap is a little higher than men's bags (much more comfortable if you're on the busty side), and it has a removable waist belt. And to top it off, the bag is light weight, at just under 2 lb. (They do not claim that this has a laptop sleeve. It's a hydration sleeve good for keeping a bladder in there when you're hiking. There's no padding at all, so your laptop will not be protected.)

I really wanted to keep this bag, but I had to return it because for some reason, the back panel of the bag would not lie flat against my back. It's made of what appears to be a plastic panel. Kelty has padded portions along it to create an "airflow" along your back which I'm sure is useful while hiking, but the core of the back panel is a plate of plastic. I put in my normal day's carrying load--my netbook (yes, I still have one of those), two small books, a notebook, and a few papers along with pens, pencils, and phone. There was plenty of room in the back to put in much more. The weird thing was that the back panel actually concavely warped, and and pulled the bag away from my back. It was completely bizarre considering how well made the rest of the bag is. I lightened the load, but still the same problem. When the bag was empty, it lay flush against my back.

I cannot understand how the rest of the bag is so well made, but the back panel could be so poorly constructed.

I really wanted to keep this, but I sent it back. I can't have my bag pulling away from my back. Had the back panel been functional, I'd have kept it and given this bag 5 stars.

In my rating, I added an extra star because of the rest of the rest of the bag's construction.

2 stars/5

Thanks for reading my review!

I received this as a gift from my husband. He said I needed another "pack" because I've been using our Redwing 3100 for a few years and it always looked like I was ready to leave on a multi day trip. Although for a guy the 3100 may seem like a decent size, it was always too bulky and overwhelming for day to day stuff with the kids (traveling, pool, beach etc..) We are headed on a parent's only trip and he got this for me as a gift since we will both need separate packs for our trip. It is just the right size for my frame. Where I had extra room before, I'm now packing it right and it feels great for "running" around. Kids towels, extra clothes, wallet, cell phone and iPad fit great without the extra bulk. It's more the size of what I would think as a college backpack, but works great for what I need and do. I'm looking forward to our trip since it will carry what I need and not be overpacked, but not under packed either. Overall, it's Kelty construction, same material, but without the added features of some of the larger packs (no optical case or the long side pockets like on the 3100). It's definitely a day pack since I couldn't imagine going overnight with this, but for traveling or a day trip, it more than adequate and comfortable too! I recommend it if you are looking for the above qualities. If you wanted something more substantial and you're a woman, I would recommend the Kelty Redwing Womens Pack which has the same features as our Redwing, but the fit of the Redtail.

Agree with the reviewer who returned it because of the concave back. I thought the charcoal colour was very nice, the construction sturdy, enough but not too many functional straps and buckles. However, the way it bends away from your back (even with hard objects like a laptop and books inside the back sleeve) doesn't make it good for carrying heavy loads. I know a couple of brands do this sort of anti-sweat construction, but it's not for me.

My 10th gr daughter has been using this since last September and it's been enduring the daily abuse with amazing grace. It's been packed with incredible amount of heavy books and binders every morning and afternoon but no sign of torn seams or flattened cushioning. Some one the previous backpacks she got from more major brands didn't last long. So we are very happy with this purchase.

Great for day trips, this was exactly what I was looking for as a smaller alternative to my kelty 44 which was excessive on just day trips. Mild back support and ample room for day needs. I like how this one has two pouches and is bascically a scaled down 44.

Tumi Luggage T-tech Gateway Ulsan Top Handle Portfolio

Tumi Luggage T-tech Gateway Ulsan Top Handle Portfolio, Black, One SizeBought this briefcase as a lightweight travel alternative to other Tumi briefcases which I have, but they tend to be heavy empty and even more so when loaded. The Ulsan is well made, with good hardware, and plenty of room for a computer, iPad/e-reader, charger, cables, etc. PLUS other stuff. The zippered compartments (two on the outside and one one the inside) offer good volume and security. I really like the fact that the main compartment zippers so no worries about things falling out. The main compartment is larger than it may appear in the on-line images. Finally shoulder strap is well-made with sewn in shoulder pad which is nice. Inexpensive for Tumi, expensive in comparison to other brands. My experience with Tumi is that their stuff lasts years; really!

P.S. Just noticed that the Limited One year Warranty also covers damage to the bag; not just manufacturer's defects.

Dakine Girls Wonder Pack

DAKINE Wonder Backpack - Women's - 900cu in Jasmine, One SizeI need something on the smaller side to throw in a few things for hiking, swimming, anything where I needed my hands free but something small enough I could run around and not have it bouncing all over my back. Discovered this backpack, and love it! It has a waterproof shell and seems very durable. I'm 5'7 135 and I have all the straps pulled almost as tight as they will go so even though it's labeled for girls it would fit anyone. It's already survived the river, woods, trunk, and mud pit with flying colors. I would buy again for sure.

This backpack is very small. It is well made and will last. It is not well-suited for a high school student. My daughter is very small 4'8" and this backpack was too small for her. She also could not put her books and binders in this bag.

I bought this bag for a Maui vacation. I didn't want to use an expensive purse since I planned on doing a lot of sightseeing. I wanted a nice backpack that wouldn't get in my way and would hold everything my purse could. This bag definitely did just that. It has 2 side pockets which are nice for bottles of water. A small zip pocket at the top of the bag which held my chapstick and other little things that I didn't want to fall to the bottom of the inside of the bag. I got back from Maui a month ago and I've still been using it. It's perfect for throwing everything in and just going.

SwissGear The PEGASUS 17inch Computer Backpack

SwissGear The PEGASUS 17inch Computer BackpackThis is a superb computer backpack. Very well built, good attention to detail, beefy zippers, good padding for protection of your laptop, and my 17" laptop fits in it comfortably and safely.

The main top handle is a steel cable, encased in a rubber grip for comfort. The shoulder straps are strong, and well padded. There is a short strap with a sturdy plastic buckle that connects the two shoulder straps and goes across your chest, to keep the bag from creeping down as you walk. That cross-strap is partially backed up with two layers of rubber strap so it does allow for some flexible movement which makes it even more comfortable.

There is also a long and narrow separate zippered bag for your cords, power supply, mouse, etc. so they can all live in one place and you don't misplace any of the parts you need for the computer. That's a nice touch.

The computer compartment is separated from the bottom of the bag so when you lay it down on the floor, you get that extra protection. The whole interior is well insulated. And the bag is structured in such a way, that when you lay it down, it's center of gravity almost forces it to stand up straight. Be careful with it nonetheless.

If I had to point out a drawback, it's that the looks of the bag almost advertise that you have a valuable computer inside. As long as you don't let it out of your sight or your grip when you travel, you should be safe.

Definitely a good purchase.

While the bag is very durable, and has lots of useful compartments, I'm looking at replacing it. The chest strap is the major disadvantage for me. It is placed to be very uncomfortable for women. A waist strap would have been much preferable. With all the places the chest strap could be fastened, I'm surprised they didn't make the placement adjustable. It's not possible, as the plastic fasteners holding the chest straps to the shoulder straps are solid pieces.

Just one month into this and so far, it's great. Carries many high school text books and notebooks, room to stuff a lunch bag on top and carry a water bottle on the side. protects an ipad inside as well. Pros" seems to be well constructed, time will tell, but my son carries such a heavy load of text books, the bags always seem to give way around the handles and straps, but this seems to be reinforced in all the right places. We didn't want lots of little pockets to consume room, and this bag seemed to have just enough to be functional. the handle is perfect comfortable, reinforced, strong. the straps are padded yet have a great air-flow fabric. best bag i found after searching online and in staples/athletic/department stores for something to carry heavy loads, not just camping gear.

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Mobile Locker

Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Mobile Locker, BlackI am a professional woman who walks 4 km to/from work most days. Often in the Vancouver rain. I used to be able to keep my professional wardrobe at the office, but that changed with a move a few months back. I searched for a lot of options to get my suits and shoes to the office in my backpack, and I am so glad that I found this. I neatly stores a pant suit, shirt, clean underwear, and shoes while crammed into my Kelty Redwing 44 backpack. Things come out looking tidy at the other end as long as they were folded tidily to begin with. I don't wear cotton blouses -usually just a thin viscose shirt -so I'm not sure how well it would perform with those. The shoe bag is my favorite feature.

Works perfectly for my motorcycle top case. I throw in a pair of shoes, jeans, some miscellaneous things, and there is a separate zipped compartment for jewelry. The front also has what looks like a water resistant pouch that might come in handy later. The hook was the selling point for me. It's made it easier to get dressed at my locker when I get to work.

Belkin 15.4-Inch Messenger Bag (Jet/Cabernet)

Belkin 15.4-Inch Messenger BagThis is a great bag if all you need to carry is your laptop and few other small items. I am using it for a 15.4" MacBook Pro, a second generation iPod Nano, WD Passport HD, a few cables, USB thumb drive. Also, a few pieces of paper. I'd never be able to add a text book or anything like that. It's exactly what I was looking for. It's small, light and the strap that goes over your shoulder is very wide. I haven't had to carry this for a long period of time yet, but I am sure it will be nice. I used to have a laptop bag with a smaller strap and after a couple hours of travel (airport etc) my should would hurt. With this bag I don't think that'll be a problem.

UPDATE (Jan 18th, 2010) I have had this bag for a few years now. I can report that carrying this bag for long periods of time does not cause pain in my shoulder, even loaded up and heavy. The strap is wide enough that the pressure is low.

I feel it's well built, feels solid. There are a few different pockets, but they are all a little small, so I'm not sure what use they are. The area the laptop rests is lined with a very soft velvet like material. I wish the MP3 player slot was the same, but it's not, it's the same material as the rest of the bag. Also, the main zipper only unzips halfway, so that if you are wearing the bag and you unzip it, the laptop will not fall out. This is a great feature when you are at the airport and you need to remove it etc. It keeps your bag from flapping open and spilling your stuff everywhere. There is a quick access pocket in the back that is perfect for storing paperwork, tickets, confirmation info for your rental car etc. Finally, a nice handle on top, if you want to carry it without using the strap. The strap is not removable...for me, I like that, but for some that may be bothersome.

Pros:

Small, Lightweight

Fits my MacBook Pro 15.4" Perfectly

Good Build Quality Excellent Quality even after a few years of use.

Wide Strap to keep from hurting your shoulder. Verified after years of use.

Nice lined laptop area

Does not unzip 100%, so that your stuff does not fall out.

Cons:

MP3 player pocket not lined like the laptop pocket.

(For some) non-removable strap.

Strap gets in way of back pocket sometimes.

Front pocket not really usable.

I purchased the Belkin 15" Messenger Bag because I thought it looked nice and because I prefer messenger style bags in general over briefcase or backpack designs. I find the Belkin bag to be a really good value, but I do have some nitpicks.

First, I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9-cell battery. The 9-cell protrudes out from the back of the laptop and adds about an inch to the depth. It does fit in the Belkin case okay. However, because the padded compartment for the laptop rests slightly under the main zipper, I'm paranoid that the zipper teeth will scratch the laptop. I live with it by putting the bottom of the laptop towards the back of the case. I'm able to throw my AC adapter in along with it and it's somewhat of a snug fit.

Inside, there are 2 pen pockets, 2 card pockets, and 2 larger general pockets. There is also one smaller zippered pocket that runs along the top of the case, which looks large enough to put cables in. Oddly, the outside has one large zippered pocket that does not go through the inside of the case at all. The headphone passthrough can only be accessed from the zippered OUTSIDE pocket. This means you can only put your audio player in the outside pocket, which offers less protection for your god-knows-how-expensive music player.

Though the zippers work well and have a nice plastic colored pulls that matches the case, I wish the material was less slippery. A rubber coated one may have made zipping and unzipping a bit easier. Also, I wish that the strap were attached to 360 degree moving hinges and that it were removable.

All in all, it's a decent bag for the money. It's no Tumi bag, but of course the Belkin costs hundreds less.

This bag is the most comfortable that I've had. It fits my 15" HP laptop along with the cord and adaptor, over-ear headphones, portable Seagate external hard drive and case, and kensington laptop cord-lock. I especially like the velvet lined laptop compartment; there is no chance of the surface getting scratched. There is even a zippered compartment in the back to store the shoulder strap when you want to use the handles instead. Additionally, there is a slot in the front in which to access your headphones without removing your mp3 or ipod from the case. An important note: this bag isn't the dark expresso brown as shown in the picture. It's more of a chocolate brown, and the blue is a bit more grey as well.

I love the look of this bag and it fits my Macbook Pro perfectly. The power cord pouch is extremely helpful, and I love the fact that there is a handle on top of the bag so I can carry around as a briefcase. The only problem I have with the bag is that the shoulder strap is too short for me with it extended all the way. I am 5"7 and I am a little busty and I have found that the strap is very short I tend to like my messenger bags to sit just below by hip. This bag sits at my waist just above my hip and feels a little confining. I had my mother try it on and she is 5"4 and overweight by about 75lbs and this bag was short on her as well but it did come down to to her hip. So, I have been carrying it around by the handle or I don't put it across my chest.

A great bag for a good price! This bag is sturdy, comfortable, fabulous looking, and light weight. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 and it fits great in the extra padded area. I think a 15in would fit well, too, but my computer doesn't slide around, either. I would definitely recommend this bag to anyone who wants a laptop bag that's both cute and functional, and actually has room for all the extras without being huge.
