5/5
9.5/10

I bought this bag back in 2010. Since then it gets used daily to lug about anything from my Macbook Air, iPad, gym gear, shopping, uni books, work uniform (obviously not all at the same time!).

It gets so much abuse from weight and overfilling and generally being chucked about - but so far its holding up strong. Not a single loose thread, tear or anything. Plus the rain is kept out nicely.

General abuse aside, the inside is brilliant. Perfect space for a Macbook, iPad and some books and folders. Only thing i wish is the fuzzy furry lining was all over the inside and not just the back wall of the bag. But that aside I can't complain one bit!

Yes it's expensive compared to something you could grab at Argos or a supermarket, but I bet this one will keep you happier and last SO much longer.

I spent a lot of time looking at video reviews but in the end went into an Apple store to purchase. I use the bag with my 13" Lenovo laptop. Plenty of room for iPad, 3G modem, mouse, notepad, sandwiches and a 1 litre flask of coffee. Oh and an umbrella!

Looks smart.

If you are looking for a bag that will offer an modicum of protection avoid this bag. There is no padding for the laptop or anything to hold it in place so if shaken about you laptop jumps about inside. To say its iPad friendly is also a joke as the iPad pocket doesnt even have the soft material that the laptop section has. The compartments are well thought out apart from the top small stash for iphone/ipod which gets in the way of accessing other areas in the main compartment.

It is a comfortable bag to wear and looks ok, but not fit to transport a laptop.

I would never recommend this bag.

This is the most comfortable computer bag I've ever owned. It sits perfectly across the shoulders and squarely with the back. Lots of room for bits and pieces on top of the laptop.

I bought this bag for my very precious custom built Macbook Pro. Considering I spent £2500 on my computer, it goes without saying you want peace of mind when taking it out of the house. Well padded and very secure. Quality materials all round.

This has special space built for an Ipad and you can fit loads of files in there as well. The colour contrast works well with the black and grey. This is the sort of bag that you can take into a business meeting as the design is simple and professional look about it.

One reason to buy a backpack over a messenger is obviously the weight distribution of a heavy load on your back. This is the prefect solution as its not just the weight of the laptop to take into consideration, you will carry chargers, files, stationary and so on. Also the handle for carrying is strong, it feels very nice in the hand to carry.

Great bag, lots of space. Hold my mac pro 15' perfectly, and has room for an ipad and ipods.

It's a perfect design through and through, I switched from a Nike backpack and took a risk on this. It so paid off, as I can store all my school stuff, and all mac products neatly and safely. Oh and it's a much better design for my back as I walk to school 1/2 hour each way and it's as light as a feather.

Also it feels like this bag is going to last a long time as it's tough and durable too.

This is one not to be missed.

Good bag holds all I need for my studies. can handle your laptop and charger with a pad slipped in the ipad pocket and all your pens and stuff in the interior organization pocket there is still more room for books, water bottle, wallet, keys and sunglasses. great bag can hold everything you need for a day in the office or at university. waterproof so far but have not had any really rainy days yet. comfortable as well. definitely recommend.

First impressions of the backpack was it looked a bit naff - the designers could have put more thought into the design / styling of the bag and a few other colour choices would have been nice.

I was however, looking for practicality over style and there is little choice for a backpack style bag which fits the 15" MacBook Pro along with cables and extras. The bag looks deceptively small from the outside, you can fit a lot of stuff along with your computer.

Price wise, £50 was pretty average, a bit more than I wanted to spend but looking around the next best alternative was £80 and "a well known high street retailer" sold a similar bag (though not as spacious) for the same price.

Overall, a good buy. 5 stars!
