The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Very tempting, if I hadn't bought the backpack from Dell a few days ago . . .

    I got mine in today. For $12 it is very nice. Only complaint thus far is the handle feels flimsy, like it might tear off if weighted down with notebook and two or three textbooks. The rest of the bag seems to be well constructed (for such a cheap bag at least). We'll just have to wait and see how it holds up to campus abuse though.

    EDIT: I would estimate the pocket for the laptop to be roughly 14 x 10.5 x 1.5 inches. Should fit up to 14 inch laptops without too much trouble and might fit 16:10 15 inch laptops--16:9 15 inchers I rather doubt.
