This bag defines me as an individual. If only Patagonia made a laptop bag. But since they don’t, Lowepro is almost as elitist. It really lets people at Starbucks know that you went the extra mile. I couldn’t be happier!

Bag is nicely made but way too small for my bike commute. With my 15″ laptop and a power supply, there isn’t room for anything else. Not a textbook and not a change of clothes. I’ll have to try something larger.
I also have already gotten tired of the double clips that hold down the front flap. The bag hangs funny when they aren’t clipped, but you can’t get anything out of it when they are clipped. I’m continually doing them then undoing them.

Description says, “M Computer Bag–Fits Most 15.4-Inch Laptops…”.
The tag on the product clearly states for 14″ notebooks. A 15″ notebook is such a squeeze- you’ll look like a fool in front of people trying to make it go back into the bag!

I think this bag is actually pretty good. My Manhattan Portage bag finally broke this year (RIP) and it lasted me almost 6… so I was almost naturally set to get another one. But I decided to shop around cause there were a few things I thought could be more useful to me in a messenger bag. The first was the ease of pockets, and pocket access. This Lowepro bag features 3 internal “slip” pockets “(no velcro or cover, but nothing slips out) which is perfect for my day-to-day notebook (fits a small Moleskine perfectly, along with a pen) and some small USB cables or snack bars to get me through the day. The laptop slip has a small velcro “latch” that holds my 15.4″ laptop perfectly (HP Pavilion dv5000), but as others have noted, it is a VERY close fit, almost not fitting without a slight bit of finesse. There is also an outside pocket on the bag flap which is useful for carrying a sandwich or some tissues for even easier access during the day. The bag material is water-resistant, not waterproof in my opinion (I had the MP “Dana” bag, which was waterproof), which is fine, as the water simply beads up on the outside of the bag, but I have seen other materials do this before absorbing a little bit of water at a time and eventually getting soaked. So a little note of caution on that. Lastly, the bag has a small cushion that lies between your laptop and your rear end that all but removes the annoying feeling of having 8 pounds slap against the backs of your thighs as you walk. Big plus there
I have no real gripes with this bag, I guess, although the material does seem a bit thin; but while this makes the bag lighter, it also makes it feel like it won’t be very substantial.
For the price, I would definitely recommend this bag to whomever is looking into it. And for a guy who doesn’t review many of the products he buys here on Amazon, I think that is saying something.
