Crumpler Considerable Embarrassment: First Impressions

So I ordered a Crumpler, and I have to say, if you like messenger bags, this one is nice. Looks nice, feels sturdy. I had heard a lot about how big these things are. It actually surprised me how small it is. I was wondering if it would even fit my laptop. It does, barely. It's supposed to fit a 15.4", but it barely fits my 14.1", and it doesn't fit it at all unless I take the battery out. Not positive where I'll keep the battery yet, when I take it somewhere.

Otherwise, when my laptop is in there, it fits a few books and maybe a folder with paper or something, or a notebook. I think as far as all that, it will work for me. If I just took it as a book bag, it would work very well. I fit 5 or 6 books in it without the laptop, and I don't have any small books. All in all, good first impression. Haven't used it in a real world experience yet. When I do, I'll say how it is.
