Lowepro Messenger Factor M Computer Bag--Fits Most 15.4-Inch Laptops (Black)

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.

I really loved the features in this bag - but my 15.4" Thinkpad T61 will not fit in the Notebook compartment.

Checking the specs - the bag's compartment is 14" (35.56 cm) wide but the Thinkpad T61 is 14.11" (35.84 cm) - you'd think it would stretch for that extra .11 inch but it won't!

Otherwise, I'd have given it 5 stars.

So, be sure your laptop fits, before you order!

I got this one at a great gold box price - so, I'm keeping it and taking it to work to use to carry my work laptop to meetings rather than the heavy backpack they issue us.

I have a 15.4" widescreen Dell Latitude D820, a fairly common business laptop, which doesn't fit in this bag (it's about half an inch too wide).

Other than that, the bag seemed well-constructed except for the shoulder straps and top handle, which seemed rather narrow.

On the positive side, the bag is lightweight, has a lot of pockets, looks pretty decent, has a cushioned back, and sturdy-looking zippers.

I would've kept it if not for the size issue. Guess I had to learn the hard way that "most" doesn't mean "all".
