This laptop case seems to be very well constructed and intelligently designed. I say "seems" at this point because it hasn't stood the test of time - I have traveled with it yet, and it's only about a month old. It is bigger in terms of how much you can put in it, than it appears because of its efficient use of space and shape: it doesn't have unnecessary dividers and heavily-padded sides, just the amount of padding that I think is enough, with one thin divider and an external pocket that expands to hold a lot. So far, I'm very happy.
