My letter-size notepads and files also have plenty of room. There is a $100 Commute for 15-inch laptops. </P> <P>There are pockets for my iPod and cellphone and several zippered compartments and a key ring tether. </P> <P>The back of the bag is nicely padded with D-rings for an included waist strap to keep the bag close to your body in transit. </P> <P>The exterior is ballistic nylon and the bottom is double-padded and rubberized. The bag is held closed with ample hook-and-loop material and plastic side-release buckles. </P> <P>My only gripe is that the shoulder strap is not padded. A removable pad is optional. </P> <P><B>Pros: </B>Easy to carry, holds everything. </P> <P><B>Cons: </B>Shoulder strap is not padded. </P> <P><B>Bottom line: </B>Great mix of functionality and good looks. </P><!-- vstory end --> lisa ryan Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:26:00 GMT great laptop bag
