 Great Buy August 15, 2007
Great backpack hold the laptop perfectly with a lot of padding around it. I love all the pockets more then I need to hold all of my stuff.
 Great backpack, but zipper gets caught January 18, 2007

Love this backpack, it's been with me to numerous cities and countries and survives the trips very well, while protecting the contents well, laptop included. The outside large pocket is larger than you think when you realize just how much stuff you can fit in there, and still fit under an airplane seat. Love the two water holders on the outside. Love the zippers are a loop so you can attach a carabiner, compass, or whatever. The support is great, you'll barely feel its there, and if you do, just use both straps, and then strap the front for great support. The pen storage area could be larger to accommodate larger pens, but thats quite minor.
My only con is that the outside two pockets have gotten stuck twice already. I am now on my third backpack(gotta LOVE REI's return policy). Hopefully this one will last as I have yet to find a better more complete backpack.
Update 1/30/2007 - Third backpack , third zipper to get caught, time to return, again. I wish I could change the scale down to 2 stars :(
Great Laptop Case January 10, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased this to help lower my back pain from lugging a laptop in a normal brief type case.
It has far exceeded my expectations, I do wish that there was something just a bit bigger. This bag is 3500 cubic inches, and really if you have tools, gear, books and a laptop to carry around, this bag just barely cuts the mustard, but it is the largest laptop protected case that I have found.
The specialized pockets are great, even if you are unable to utilize them by designation.
I found there not to be enough pen pockets, but I stored them other places as well.
The book/file area could be larger, and when fully stuffed with support equipment for the laptop this space is full.
I had hopped that I could find a case with support much like a overnight backpack, but this was as close as I could find.
I have had this almost a year at this point (most cases only survive for about 4 months for me) and it is still holding strong. Strong enough that 2 other guys I work with have purchased the same model.
Great Way to Kick Off the School Year August 9, 2006

As another reader said, this backpack is designed "for nerds, by a nerd." The backpack has three separate sections, one for the laptop and its components, one for your music (CD player, mp3 player, and a built-in, detachable CD case), and one for your miscellaneous items. For someone like me who have to have everything VERY organizes in the backpack, this is excellent. I actually have a 17" laptop and it fit in the backpack but not in the laptop compartment, but I loved the backpack so much I expanded the sides and lowered the bottom of the compartment to make it fit in that compartment. As far as the straps go, the backpack is designed to keep most of the heavier components such as the laptop and notebooks closer to your back to make it easier and safer to carry. I definitely recommend this item.

It is as the description says. They don't skimp on the features. I recommend it for any computer geek who needs (or can't be away) from the computer :) Great gift, lots of storage, looks great, high quality... I'm very satisfied and recommend it highly.
