This bag looks solid. The pads are highly effective. The bag is comfortable even when heavily laden. Its capacity (3 reams of A3 sheets in addition to the PC and its accessories without difficulty) and number of pockets of various sizes are remarkable. Perfect for my immense Asus N73 17.3 "(just entering into the padded case). This internal case could only have a much more balanced handle (to be used independently). Also lack of pen locations. After a few weeks of use, I highly recommend it.
