Looking for a back to replace my Timbukt2 backpack. Like it to be small. Travel a lot and have my MacBook Pro 13 constantly with me. This any good?

I think so! I carry my MacBook Pro everyday in a slim laptop bag that also fits perfectly in the backpack. It still has room for my small purse and wonderful small zipper pockets for small items. I think it's the perfect traveling pack. It's not super bulky yet can carry many items. The small outside pocket fits keys, pens, snacks, tissue, etc. and there is a small soft lined pocket right at the top by the handle that is perfect for a cell phone. I attached a carabiner to the top handle to carry my 32oz Camelbak but it can also carry a bladder and has the holes for the hose if needed. Truly a great pack! I think so!

I carry my 14" Dell Ultrabook in this pack all the time. It will carry a Macbook with ease. It is not my smallest backpack, I have a smaller one that I can squeeze my ultrabook into, but it is much smaller then other packs I own. The benefit, if you are carrying anything other then your Macbook, this will be a good fit for you. You can fit a decent number of text books or other items in addition to your Macbook and not be carrying a whale of a pack.

I use it for work. I carry the mac book. Ipd, charger, mouse, thin books, diary, small pencil case. Could easily fit more . I like it roomy to easily find things. But could fit a few small books. It is great that it stands up by itself - can pick it up by the handle. I am not carrying it around all day it goes to and from my car and office. I do enjoy the design and looks. I have had it around 2 months, light rain runs off.

I purchased a bag off of SFBags.com - it is minimalistic - but really high quality. It is made specifically for the MacBook Air - size 13-2 - it is a sleeve, with a velcro flap, and a shoulder strap with a 'pad' on it to prevent slipping. Under a hundred bucks...weighs about 2 lbs.In addition, I purchased the Ethernet adaptor - we all have to use Ethernet at somepoint - an extra power cord, and the airline adaptor.I am absolutely loving the MBA - I used to lug around a 17" Dell - always making the 'decision' on whether to take it or not - based on weight, and size...unlike the Dell, I carry the MBA everywhere....Hey, what's the iPod battery settlement? I own several iPods - did I miss out? I purchased a bag off of SFBags.com - it is minimalistic - but really high quality.

I have a 13inch macbook pro, and it fits perfectly. It is a very good backpack with lots of space.

It fits inside my Swiss gear back pack. I don't travel with it though... I do use it at local tech events when I know there will not be a desk.

It could be a bit more roomier than what you need for the 13 mac. It will even satisfy travelling needs with full accessories and personnal items.

Definitely will fit a 15-inch laptop. I just tested it with my girlfriend's macbook pro 15". It will fit in the main zipper pocket. There is a retainer within this space to keep it from bouncing around. I am very happy with this back pack. The only problem I have had is when I load it up with books and ride my bike with it on. The rigid plastic protection rubs against my lower back when I stand up to pedal up hills. Other than that, it has plenty of padding and holds weight close to your body as long as your back is straight. There is plastic protecting the front and back. I think you will like it. The materials are good and the zippers are the easiest I have ever use, while somehow remaining zipped shut. Definitely will fit a 15-inch laptop.

Hello - I'm debating which style to get - the backpack or the tote, and wonder why you like the tote better. Is it just a style choice, or is the tote bigger or more functional? Thanks!

I would only recommend this for slim laptops. When I first got mine, my MB Air barely fit into it... Very snugg. After some time, it has stretched and more easily fits my laptop. But I doubt that it would fit an old Mac. Nice bag, but maybe not the right one...

I have the laptop, did you get this backpack? if not what did you get and are you happy with it?

This was bought for my daughter. She got Mac from her college. I like smaller laptops (11-12 inches). I am actually selling one with Office 2013 loaded on it. You cannot go wrong with this one.

Yes, I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" and my 2nd gen iPad and it holds them nicely, well protected. This is the best laptop/backpack I've ever had. Great water bottle holders and lots of pockets. It stands up by it's self and can be carried by the handles or on your backl. Thin enough for me to keep it on a sit in a chair, which makes a nice back cushion. Highly recommend it. and I love the color.

It's a great back pack for school, with quite a few assorted pockets. The only thing I wish had was a collapsing strap with buckles. It's got a laptop sleeve that's good for a 17 inch 2010 laptop and a great little compartment for something small, like a portable hard drive. The second biggest zipper pocket is good in theory, but I always get stuff lost in that pocket, since ours so big. Not my favorite back pack, but I'm just set in my ways.

It does not work like a back pack. The one I bought has a shoulder strap to carry like a computer bag and wheels to roll like a carry on bag. If you are looking for a backpack type computer bag I would look at a different option. Have a great day. J

I use this backpack to carry my 13" Mac Book and iPad while traveling. Has secure pockets for both.
