5 out of 5 stars excelent and versatil bag!!.......2007-05-07

best messenger bag for my macbook. comforable, and looks excelent

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding quality & protection with room for extras.......2007-01-29

I've had this bag for about a month now, and it does great for keeping my new 15.4" MacBook Pro safe with the Core protection system. It's rugged and has a fair amount of room for the usual suspects of extras the MacBook Pro ships with out of the box(AC adapter, power cable, DVI to VGA, even a snug pouch for the Apple Remote) and still affords space for my cable lock (yes, I'm paranoid), iPod, and whatever 1.5 - 2.o inch thick software development book I'm reading at the moment (two books if I fit them snug). As of this writing I'm on a business trip to Singapore and it's with me almost all the time. The shoulder strap makes it pretty easy to carry with little or no slipping, the front clasps are easy for security screening at the airport, and the velcro back pocket is great for quick access to important things safely between you and your MacBook (e.g. your boarding pass or a map of that foreign city you just landed in).

I'll warn up front, that I may be a bit biased. The only other laptop bag I've owned was for my 12" iBook and it too was a Brenthaven. The bags may be priced a bit more, but when it comes to keeping your portable Mac safe they are worth it. To me in terms of durability, protection, and quality of construction, anything cheaper is just that: cheap!

5 out of 5 stars Great bag.......2007-01-12

Great protection. It has enough extra room to put things in for the day, and i love the removable sleeve so I can just use it as a bag.

3 out of 5 stars Sturdy bag, but large and doesn't hold much..........2006-05-08

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15.4 inch model, and of course, I wanted to protect my new baby. There are literally hundreds of bags to choose from, but the reviews on this bag at the Apple Store website were inspiring, as was the design, and the testimonals on the Brenthaven site itself.

Now the bag itself *IS* a nice bag. It's certainly sturdy, there's no questioning that, and I feel extremely confident that my MacBook will survive in there unscathed.

The problem is, the bag is big, and yet it doesn't hold very much, at least by my standards.

The "CORE" protection system inside takes up a lot of room, and of course, the MacBook itself, while thin, is big, because of the beautiful widescreen display on it. The bag itself weights about three pounds, the MacBook another five and a half, plus then the charger, so you're talking about nine pounds right off the bat to be carrying all the time.

The bag I had before this, a Jansports green "messenger brief" which I could sling over my shoulder, or carry like a briefcase, just like this, was, and still is a great bag. It held a lot of things, and I would pack it thusly. I can't do that with this Brenthaven bag.

If I have my MacBook in this bag, I can fit, say, two half liter bottles of water, the MacBook charger, my cell phone charger, and two 120-page spiral notebooks for class. And it's an uncomfortable fit then, and the bag is very bulky then. I can't fit my copy of The Times in there either anymore, with said items.

With my Jansport bag, I would usually carry around notebooks for school, two bottles of water, The Times, random food items for the day to save money (can of soup, pouch of microwave rice, things in a Pyrex glass container so they wouldn't get crushed), along with other odd ends. I can't do this anymore.

So, again, while the Brenthaven bag is nice, don't expect to carry much in it other than the MacBook itself, and a notebook or two, espcially if you use the mesh holdings inside to store things like bottles of water.

The back of the bag has a pouch to store stuff in, but don't expect to put much in it because to close it (via velcro), it can't be bulging out much. Also, items in this pouch, if not flat, will beat against your leg if slung across your shoulder.

There's also a front zipper pouch which doesn't hold much, and is annoying to use.

I'm probably going to return this, and purchase the "Brenthaven Metro," which is really just to hold the MacBook itself only, and nothing else. Then I'll just have to carry around two bags each day, probably just carrying the MacBook around like a suitcase.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Home for my MacBook Pro!.......2006-04-30

It's not easy choosing a laptop bag from the millions on Amazon but I couldn't be more happy with my Brenthaven messenger bag. I just bought the new MacBook Pro 15.4 and wanted to make sure my $2500 investment would be around for a while. This bag has ample protection for my computer and, on days when I don't want to carry my computer, the sleeves pulls out leaving lots of room for my gym clothes and books. The water bottle pocket and expandable zipper are great little extras as well. If you're looking for great protection and style in a messenger bag, look no further.
