    I don't have this bag, but I do know that Booq makes amazing bags for laptops!

    I think it looks pretty good but I'm more of an backpack guy. I like the inside color scheme though.

    looks nice, but man the price.... 179$

    don´t know if this " i have an id please send me home thingie" really works, but thats about the only interesting part of it. you will get lots of bags that are way cheaper and look good also....
    another thing is the weight, and thats already 1.4 kg´s , dont´forget you will have to carry all this stuff around......
    i wouldn´t buy it, but thats only my opinion.

    the weight of the bag isnt an issue for me, but light laptop get a big bag end up with ok weight. lol and i realise that the chances of geting the bag returned arent high but im not buying for that, mainly i want a bag that will last more than 6 months, i recently bought a quicksilver backpack $60 and it lasted five months. yes 179 dollers on a bag is priceyish but if it lasts 3 years and looks good then its better value than a cheapy bag

    look harder man, have you considered the north face brand? I also live in Australia (where rushfaster is based) and they have some awesome lightweight bags that will suit most peoples needs. seriously I've been looking for ages and the north face seems to have the best all rounders I've seen, only catch is you might want to consider buying a sleeve for added padding :p.

    good luck!!

    busy lad your kinda missing the point that im buying for, i want a stylish but secure reliable bag. i have heard both horror and glory stories about north face. i really want a messenger. the bag granted is heavyer than i would like but then again i would like it to weigh less then .5 kilos. my laptop has to be one of the lightest 15 inches out there so it sorta evens itself out. i would rather have a bag that had been designed especially for a laptop and booq actually design for my computer :) i have looked at probably every bag under $300 and this one seems to suit my usage and style and is backed by a 5 year warranty which fills me with confidence. i think booq is the bag for me im afraid.....unless you have anything else ou could recommend?
