    That is a really nice one, and is a bit larger, but it cost's almost twice as much as one of these others in this deal, which are still very roomy. ;)

    Those are the original "sale" prices before the began really "blowing them out".

    Other places sale prices on these are around $65.00 - $75.00+. ;)

    True, but it would be really nice to put a laptop in a sleeve, and then puth the sleeve in the laptop compartment. The metroid is too small for that.
    This is certainly a nice deal though

    Yeah, I know what you mean.

    I currently have no use for these packs, but I couldn't pass up such a good deal, and I just bought one anyways.

    I'm such a knuckle head! :p


    I got the Metro, figuring it will be great for general non-notebook usage, as well as with a notebook, and it has plenty of room for about everything else I need to carry.

    Man, I should be getting some commission on these things! :p


    The opening arrangement is a bit different, and the capacities are slightly different as well, and of course the looks a bit too.


    Here's the capacities,

    Metro 2200 c.i.

    Metroid 2250 c.i.

    just bought one! thank you! I'd been looking for a sleeve for my new T61 14" Thinkpad, but sleeves are around $20 so I figured I might as well get a new backpack for this price. My other backpack is always salty and sandy and I can't submit my new laptop to that, and a whole new backpack will protect the laptop from that sort of abuse a lot better than the sleeve.
