This is a REALLY practical backpack for laptops; I bought it as soon as I could find it in stores, since I’ve been searching for such a compact, yet slack backpack for laptops for quite a while now and I tried to avoid the regular stuffy, rigid design.

I tried to avoid the mistake I made before when I bought a not-so-flexible portable DVD case where I couldn’t even add a bottle of water without adding extra pressure on the zippers. And that’s when I decided to give up using that case and start searching for a new one. I’m also a great fan of the black-fabric-metallic-zippers combination, it gives me that motorcycle rebel feeling ?

Its sporty looks are complimented by plenty of extra features, like the padded laptop main sleeve which can easily hold both my net book and its power cord, the easy-to-access phone carrier placed on one of the comfy padded shoulder straps and the two flexible pockets for water bottles or other small items, that can easily adjust to objects that vary in size. The great thing about it is that, despite the good number of storage places, where I regularly stuff all the misc junk I like to carry with me, it’s still light and easy to handle and it fits to all occasions, even the most formal ones, like conferences and work meetings.

After using it for a few weeks, I only have a couple of things I don’t like about it: the pens sleeves are a bit too small if you normally use pens with any sort of rubber grip on them, so if you consider buying the Mobile Edge Ultraportable Backpack consider buying different pens. Secondly, the cell phone pocket is a bit too large for my phone and that is a bit annoying, but I can live with it.

Overall, the Mobile Edge Ultraportable Backpack was worth every penny, the quality is great, the handle is well padded so it doesn’t hurt my hand at all and the design is right on my taste.
