Easily the best laptop bag that I have owned, the quality of the design and the manufacture is brilliant. Having used this bag every day for nearly 5 months I can assure you that it is worth every penny - it still looks brand new just like the day it was delivered. Works just as well holding my Dell XPSM1330 13" laptop as it does a 15" Macbook Pro. Even has room for my Dell Mini 9 as well as the main laptop. Not cheap, but worth the money, invest in protecting your laptop.

Knomo Stirling Messenger Bag for 15" MacBook Pro

Exquisite!

I have to say that this is the nicest computer bag I have owned - I bought it online and was genuinely surprised by the quality of materials and construction. I purchased the brown & blue model which looks great; it doesn't look like a computer bag and I've had many comments on how stylish it is.

It does have its downsides, however. The 'portrait' aspect does make looking for stuff more awkward than its 'landscape' relatives and the space inside is best described as compact. If you like to carry copious amounts of stuff around this isn't the bag for you.

For me it's perfect: it houses my MacBook Pro beautifully with room for the power supply, an iPhone, Mighty Mouse and a few other bits and pieces without struggling. There's room for some additional paperwork too.

Overall it exceeded my expectation and I think it is well worth the money. Enjoy!

Knomo Stirling Messenger Bag for 15" MacBook Pro

Excellent for 15" MBP

I was looking for a bag to hold my unibody 15" MBP for a couple of weeks without luck. I stumbled across the Knomo website before seeing them on the Apple site... then the other day I saw this bag in the flesh at my local Apple store and intantly knew it was the bag for me.

It's the perfect size for those that do not want to carry much more than the computer around, with just enough space for some magazines etc in the main compartment, the charger in the secondary front pocket and I have my Magic Mouse in the third zip pocket. There is also a hidden handle that you can pull out from the back.

There are a couple of points I should mention...the main compartment is split in two, with a smaller section for the laptop and then a slightly larger section for magazines etc, however with my MBP in it's sleeve, it was slightly too tight a fit for the designated laptop section of the main area so I put it in the slightly larger partition.

Also the bag is only just taller than the 15" MBP so the machine isn't burried deep inside the bag (but I like that).

And my final point is that when you close the flap over, there is a gap at the sides where the flap folds over at the top of the bag, so if it was raining there is a chance water could get in to the main compartment. It would have been nice if the main compartment could be zipped shut. However half the bags I looked at were like this and the ones with zipped main compartments I didn't like the style of.

Overall though, I love this bag. Materials and construction are fantastic and it looks really nice...hopefully even more so when the brown leather flap gets worn in a little. Would I buy it again? absolutely. Would I recommend it? Completely!
