Subtle but welcome upgrades
By Benson Hougland
I purchased this Wenger backpack bag over 2 years ago from a local Best Buy, and without delay loved it. The huge problem (for me) with former backpacks is all of the contents rest near the bottom of the bag (gravity in action). This bag however, offers 3 compartments for storing items such as keys, USB sticks, iPods, even heavy power adaptors in pockets "sewn" to the top. This results in a very balanced bag and quick access to items oftentimes used.
Although this bag is lasting and travels well, over time and global travel, the bag started looking a bit tattered. So I purchased a new one on Amazon (through samscause.org) expecting to get the same bag. However, Wenger has made various key additions and upgrades that make this bag even harder to beat.
Now, each compartment is wholly lined. The bag now has a stiffer bottom permitting it to sit more upright. They've got rid of the useless waist belt, freeing up space and the annoying buckle in my lower back. The side zippered pockets are now much more spectacular and more useful. The padded computer compartment offers much better shelter and is more form-fitting. In summary, I got much more than I'd anticipated.
Finally, I've read other reviews that stated 15.4 wide-screen laptops don't fit. I have an HP/Compaq nc8230 business 15.4 wide-screen laptop, and it fits perfectly (14.1" x 10.1" x 1").
My only negative (not reflected in my rating) is I wish the bag was available in all black. Perhaps then it would appear a bit more "business-like" which is comparatively necessary in my job. But each laptop backpack I've tried (including the $485 Tumi) doesn't offer near the functionality of this bag. So function wins over aspect in this case.
This is the basi review I've ever written on Amazon. That's how impressed I am with this buy and this backpack bag.

Fits 15.4 widescreens w/ ease
By Ryan A. Fritz
I read a few reviews which stated that there is no way that this bag will decently fit a 15.4" widescreen laptop. I just purchased the bag and it fits my Dell Inspiron E1505 (which seems like a "full" sized 15.4" widescreen) easily.
I just wanted to set the record straight for any individual who is looking for a bag but afraid that their 15.4" widescreen won't fit. Unless you have numerous gigantic machine that I haven't crossed paths with, you'll be happy with this bag.
PS - I firstborn purchased a OGIO Nyquist from eBags and found it to be a POS... unconfortable, HUGE, and my laptop didn't even fit into it is ridiculous side zippered pocket.

Awesome backpack for school!
By Doc Stew
I was looking for the perfective bag to carry my books and laptop at college, and this is it! It's got a ton of pockets including room for a 15.4" laptop that straps securely in a padded pocket. Even with the laptop in the bag you may fit books and notebooks with no problem. I likewise carry around my AC adapter and a car charger with no worries. It's got a hard shell on the bottom of the bag to protect your computer from harm if it's dropped. You couldn't ask for more!
