Great bag for the price. I bought it a couple months ago to replace a backpack I'd had for years that I bought to hold a 17" workstation laptop. So it was a pretty big backpack. The zippers finally gave out and I'd recently purchased a 15.6" Dell XPS so I was looking for something smaller and lighter than the old pack to fit the very svelte XPS better. I haul it back and forth between work and home daily so smaller and lighter is definitely a plus. This bag fits the my XPS perfectly. It's 15.6" display but it has almost no bezel so they claim this laptop is closer to a 14" so keep that in mind. If you have a 15.6" with a normal bezel around the display it may not fit or be tight getting it in and out. But they do sell the larger size. The laptop pocket is padded pretty well. I throw my metal travel mug in the bag sometimes and it's a pretty bulky item for such a narrow bag but I don't worry that it will hurt my laptop in my normal travels.
The storage is pretty good for a bag. Not as roomy as a backpack but I didn't expect it to be and that's kind of a plus for me as I tended to carry around too much junk and again I was looking to lighten the load. But it could use a couple small, secure pockets to organize smaller stuff. It only has two small pockets and they don't zip and one is really just for like a cell phone or glasses as it's narrow and deep(and padded on one side) so getting small stuff out of it would be difficult. So I just use a couple small zipper pounces to organize the small stuff and make it easy to find.
I haven't traveled with it so I can't speak to that or the prolonged use comfort of the strap. You could probably fit an emergency change of clothes no problem if it's going to be your only carry on but you won't be packing for a multi-day trip like I could do with my 17" backpack. But again, I wasn't expecting to as I was pretty much just looking for a day bag.
So I'm pretty happy. The quality is good and I think it will hold up for quite a while and I really like the style and several other people have commented on it too so apparently I'm not alone.
