Because I have a number of laptops and electronics I like to carry with me, almost daily, I was looking for a backpack that would allow me to carry my 15" Unibody MacBook Pro as well as my iPad 2. Based on the description of this backpack, I thought I found the perfect product. After receiving the product, I quickly realized that it isn't possible to use this backpack with the 15" MacBook Pro because it isn't large enough. Well, that isn't really the worst thing about this backpack. The other issue is that you aren't able to get as many accessories in the bag that would be considered a minimum requirement for power supply, external USB mouse, and other associated devices. Because I didn't pay as much for the backpack, I'm not totally disappointed but if I had paid full price for it, I would certainly return it.

I used this backpack for a couple of months, then gave it away and bought a Swiss Gear instead. This product has good iPad protection with a handy pocket that zips off to carry it in. I never actually used it. The main problem I had was there was very little storage space and very few pockets which for me is the whole reason to go with a backpack. The other minor flaw I found annoying was how narrow this pack is so that every time you set it down it falls over. I would reccommend this product as an alternative: SwissGear SA9769 Computer Backpack (Black/Light Gray)

I bought the backpack to carry more than just my notebook and iPad. I already have computer cases for that. I needed additional room for a Trapper Keeper notebook and 1-2 textbooks (but pencils, graphics calculators and other 'stuff'). This is a no-go with this backpack. It is simply way too small. You can expect to fit 1 binder and 1 large textbook and that it it. Like another reviewer, I gave it away and bought a larger Swiss Gear which has tons of room for everything.

So far I am liking this backpack. I have a 15.4" lenovo with a screen that measures 17" diagonal and a iPad 2. I could not get the laptop to fit in the spot where it goes. Very frustrating. The. I noticed at the bottom of the computer storage area was an extra padding with Velcro that I pulled out. There was still a padded area on the bottom below this area and the computer fit just barely.

The area where the iPad goes is nice. Keeps it from moving around at all. It just may need a little more padding at the front of that storage compartment. Also would have been nice If that compartment fit magazines. They can go in there but it will not zip closed. So you need to store your magazines in the big compartment.

Water bottle storage on one side is nice. Might be nice to have one on the other side also.

Pouches on the inside of big compartment are not very useful.

The detachable mini bag, while intended for tablets, is a perfect daybag for running around town. I put my Cocoon 'Grid-It' (7.5 inch x 10.5 inch) inside the mini bag, and it holds all my daily essentials wallet, smartphone, sunglasses, keys, hat, etc in place. When I go back to work Monday, I zip the mini bag onto the main backpack and head out the door. The main backback is solid. It holds my laptop plus coffee thermos, lunch containers, work papers, even gym clothes! And with room to spare. Unzip the side pocket for an umbrella holder. My one gripe would be the clear plastic film on the underside of the right arm makes the arm strap stiff and uncomfortable. Easy fix for this just use scissors to snip the plastic film off the arm and it will become flexible again. So, overall a well built bag with two-bags-in-one functionality you just can't beat.
