Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)Excellent Backpack for 17" screen laptops
This backpack fits my Dell XPS Gen2 like a glove and also has plenty of space for other peripherals and/or books. Excellent style and functionality. Very comfortable even with the bag containing my laptop and textbooks. Definitely get this if you are planning on getting a large laptop!
(5 out of 5)Superb
I have had the backpack for about 3 years and all I can say is it is very close to perfection. I had done a lot of research prior to buying it and it paid off. The combination of features it truely unique. The material is very sturdy and looks like new even after 3 years of daily use. I had read a lot of reviews about other nicely looking backpacks which were unusable after 6 months due to cheap (but beautiful) material. The laptop compartment has protection on _all_ sides including the bottom. My IBM T41 fits easily. The backpack is big but doesn't look like you are about to go mountain hiking - there is plenty of room for books, folders, lunch box etc. Cell phone pocket is a nice touch. There is a belt you can fasten if you have to run to catch a bus or a train. I only have two minor complaints. I wish it had better organizer for pencils, calculators etc - the one it has consists of 3 basic pencil holders which are not able to hold anything thinner than half an inch and two big mesh pockets. Another thing, I whish the outer pockets were better designed i.e. instead of one horizontal pocket it had two vertical ones and the side pockets were bigger to hold water bottle, small umbrella etc. I looked at other backpacks with better outer pockets but all of them weren't even comparable to this one in terms of all other features.
(5 out of 5)Excellent piece of equipment
The Mobile Edge Premium Backpack is quite possibly one of the finest packs that have ever graced my shoulders. However, when I received the pack the color was not what I had in visioned. I bartered my pack to one of my close friends and immediately bought the exact same pack except in black/silver. Call me picky, call me OCD, it just seemed to suite her better than myself ;-). I will try to highlight all the points which sold me on this product, along with the discrepancies I find with the pack. Let's begin with the appearance.
The pack is by no means a small backpack. It appears large because is capable on carrying a 17" laptop with accessories and a couple of college level text books. However, the pack appears to be designed to be low profile, similar to that of motorcycle equipment. This model in particular is very bright and vibrant. The color is described on the website as "green" however I found (along with several of my friends and associates) to be more of a yellow color. Due to the material used it was also quite reflective, an excellent quality for pedestrians and bicyclists. This is where one my one major gripe about the pack comes into play. The colors portrayed in the pictures are much brighter than they appear to be in pictures. The silver/black model I purchased following this pack is not very bright, though still reflective and thus aesthetically pleasing to me.
This pack fits well on most people. My friend, whom I bartered the model to is on the shorter side and it still seems to work for her as well.
Storage:
There are two large storage areas which allow for most anything a student needs. There are several quick access pockets found on the exterior of the pack as well. Virtually every pocket has some kind of padding/protection, excellent for the tech savy who coincidentally, are paranoid about their gadgets.
Overall its a very comfortable pack which can be worn very close to the body or with some slack. There is ample padding on the straps and back area to reduce vibrations and ensure a comfortable walk or ride. It is also nicely ventilated which helps to keep you from getting too hot. I recommend this pack to anyone who has to carry a laptop.
(5 out of 5)BIgger than it looks
Sometimes good, sometimes bad, this thing is huge. Great for long trips, but can be a bit cumbersome when just using as a laptop bag for work. Overall it's high quality with lots of spaces for lots of stuff. When I bought it, they were offering a $20 rebate from the manufacturer, which I actually received promptly! Mobile Edge keeps their word.
(4 out of 5)Perfect for your 17" Laptop.
This back pack fits my 17" laptop really well. It fits perfectly and had room for lots more. Great style.
