After 15 years with my almost indestructible Samsonite rolling laptop bag, I wanted something slimmer and lighter. That's what I got with this case, after reading countless reviews on it and other offerings. I was hard-pressed to find detailed descriptions of the layout of the bag, so here it is for those interested: the front pockets you see in the illustration are a bit misleading, but in a positive way. Both top pockets extend to the bottom of the bag and are well-gusseted, allowing storage for longer items. The top left pocket has an interior pocket about 3 inches across an 1 inch deep. the top right pocket has very shallow card slots from top to bottom. The bottom left pocket is wide but not deep. The bottom right pocket is also shallow in depth. The first main pocket has two file folder dividers in front which do not extend fully to the bottom of the bag. Behind them is the laptop sleeve, with a top that folds over and closes via velcro. This sleeve purports to be x-ray friendly for airport security checks (have not tried yet). There is only one more compartment, the bulk of which is taken up with handle storage. There are two pockets, one on either side of the handle, which I'm using for laptop power supply in one and wireless mouse and usb in the other. There is minimal remaining storage in this compartment, aft of the handle assembly. Also, the zippers here do not extend fully to the bottom of the bag, making access just a bit limited.
Other notes: the handle extends easily and long enough to be comfortable for this 6-footer (same height as my Samsonite). The wheels are very smooth, but just a bit louder than the composite wheels on the Samsonite on pavement, though whisper quiet on carpet. The leather is of good quality. The carry handles work well, though I would prefer a single handle to the two leather handles provided (requires some groping to gather the handles, especially when the telescoping handle is extended - something you might run into when approaching a stairway in an airport. Finally, the zippers on the small, front compartments look a bit suspect to me. They don't have the substantial feel of the Samsonite bag. Also missing is an interior, zippered full-length compartment. I had one in the Samsonite in which I kept documents that required extra security.
To sum up: I got what I asked for: a lighter, slimmer, easier to manage briefcase. I did find it a bit challenging to fit everything in that I had in the Samsonite, with its extra compartment. But, I'm enjoying having shed at least five pounds in weight, and the price was right as well...
