i bought this bag about 6 months ago for my MacBoook Air. It is nice and lightweight, but the quality just isn't there. First one of the straps that goes across your middle came off, but I didn't worry about it because I never use it. Then last night on my way out the door one of the shoulder straps just came completely off at the bottom. On inspection, it didn't rip, but rather the fabric stitched into the bag at the bottom just frayed and pulled out. I noticed that the top of the strap is not far behind, either. Very disappointing as I love the slim size and light weight.

There is very little interior space in this backpack. From front to back, it's narrow. And the fabric is stiff, so it doesn't flex to allow more stuff to be fit inside. I was barely able to fit my quart-size baggie of liquids (as per security guidelines), a medium-size notebook pad, a Kindle, and a small purse (clutch-sized) inside. And I still had to take everything out to access what was out the bottom, because there's not enough room in the backpack for my arms with only those few items.Also, as you can see in the photo, there are no front pockets. There are also no side pockets--no drink carrier nets. You have to unzip the thing from the top to access your wallet, keys, phone, and other small items. Very inconvenient.
That being said, the unzip-all-the-way-down-the-middle feature definitely simplifies security screening at the airport. So three stars for that.
I had a similar bag from Targus that was roomier. With the Targus bag, I was able to put my liquid baggie between the large sections of the bag. As a result, unzipping simultaneously made my laptop ready for screening and and enabled me to extract my baggie. Sadly, this bag is too small for that. A completely full quart-size baggie of liquids is a super tight squeeze in the center of the backpack.
