    I'm pretty sure it is cheaper at Dell. I like it.

    Some shortcomings:
    The flap on the outside can get annoying but kind of protects against people stealing it.
    Pockets on side don't hold water bottle.
    The headphone jack is way too tight to get the tip through so you have to cut it a little.

    Besides this, I like it a lot. The corner protection is great and is holds it snug but not too tight like the Swiss brand one. That ticket pocket is great for the charger and cords.

    Is the one sold by Dell, a Samsonite re-badged backpack good enough? Or is it that because it has a Dell badge, it will attract too much attention?
