    I have a test laptop where I work for testing some Fat Client software upgrades on the XP operating system. However, as often is the case, it came with no carrying case. I have taken it to remote sites and while it does have a handle, its a Toughbook, it does not have a good way to carry it with a Power Supply and accessories. I was wanting something inexpensive to haul it around with. I also already have a laptop bag and a purse, so my back seemed like the logical place to haul and additional device around. This is super lightweight but very durable. Its easy to get in and out of and has many pockets for my accessories. If memory serves, it was 9.99 on the Monday before Black Friday one hour sale. It was a heck of a deal for a heck of nice bag. If you don't need all the charger and headphones gear in your backpack, this is the one to get.

    I purchased this for a gift and found it on sale for a price that seemed to good to be true. When I received it I found that it was indeed of great quality and well worth the price paid! If anyone is looking for a basic bag to taker their laptop or electronics on the road than I can recommend this bag to anyone on a budget that's looking for a bag to travel with.

    So Far So Good

    This bag looks nice and has adequate space to carry my laptop and files. The only drawback is... there's no padding on the bottom interior of the bag to protect my laptop from a drop or fall. I've added my own padding to help protect it an so far so good.

    This is a great backpack. Very Compact yet has enough space to carry a laptop and quiet a lot of stuff. I also use this whenever I go on small Treks or on vacation. I end up buying a couple every year during the thanksgiving for 9.99 which is an awesome deal !! I would recommend this backpack.

    The backpack feels durable to last awhile. I was able to fit my 15 inch laptop in the back. Comes with lots of slot to place pencils and other tools.
