Very nice bag! Works well for my 15" Macbook Pro, a moderate sized book, and paperwork and folders. I wouldn't recommend this for college students that need to carry a bunch of bulky textbooks. But it's perfect for my book group and Toastmasters meetings.

Seriously this bag is perfect. I'm from a big family, we've had laptops and laptop bags around for the past... hmmm, 20 years or whenever they made the first one my dad had it, lol. Anyway my point is that we've tried and experienced many laptop bags. My dad always used those leather Targus bags, and when each of my sibling went off to college he'd do the same. But these bags would cost upwards of $150 depending on the size of your computer. When I got my mac last year, I wanted a bag that I could securely carry around my laptop but wasn't bulky like many Targus bags. I'm a VERY picky shopper and I ALWAYS shop around, pass compare, read reviews, etc... and I chose this one. A few of the things that were important to me: 1. size: will it fit my laptop and give me extra room for atleast 1 book, folder, and pens/pencils. 2. security: is it well-padded for my precious MacBook Pro- my computer cost me $2000 bucks, sooo I need to know it won't get hurt 3. style: im a fashion-conscious person and I wanted a bag that was sleek and that would fit the personality, coolness, and chicness of my mac. 4. comfort: can I comfortably carry it around, are the straps padded enough 5. durability: will this bag last and will it keep clean, This bag offers all of the above, PLUS its gone down ALOT in price since I bought it... last year it was $40 bucks or higher, now you can get it as low as $20... that's a STEAL for this bag, freakin lucky bastards, lol :) Okay, so cons: Not many to really name. I actually can't think of one.... okay, if you want a bag that holds ALOT of books in addition to your computer then this may not be for you... I used it for college, but I would sometimes have to carry the book, depending on how big it wasm in my hand and carry 2 1-inch binders in the bag.... that may be a stretch. Lets see.... The fit: you can fit a slim textbook and a 1-nch binder in easily. you could not fit a 3 inch binder, a 2 inch binder would fit with folders. you could fit an average textbook and folders in there with no problem. If you want to be able to carry your computer and, lets say- 2 or so books for your two classes that you have back to back then I would say invest in the Belkin Sleeve, then just carry a tote.

I looked at a LOT of laptop bags for deciding to purchase this one, and I think I made the right choice. There is a soft interior pocket for the laptop itself, and a little pouch for your power cord and a few other small pockets for discs, etc. The shoulder strap is reallly comfortable and the bag overall is very solid and well-made, but isn't overly heavy. I love the combination of brown and light blue, so that was a bonus! Overall, I think it's a great bag for a good price.
