Review on Brenthaven Tred Expandable Urban Active Backpack For 15-Inch Chromebooks And Laptops - Titanium, Durable, Ergonomic Protection From Impact & Compression by Donald Phi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Backpack for my opinion

I'll be short and concise. 4 stars because there are only three things i don't like.Pros:- Great construction.- Many Pockets, and inner pockets, so you if you're organized like i you'll love it.- Great Materials, im not so sure about the handle on the top from other reviews, but now i used it to move a lot of things and my mac, and worked great.- Good Padding.- Great zippers.Cons:- Boring colors : comparing it to timbuk2 is ugly- Is not as tall as i would like. My prior backpack could carry an axiom 25 midi controller inside.- Not airtravel friendly, but hey it's not advertised that way. If you're traveling on a small airplane it DOES NOT fit under the seat if fully filled, and in a big airplane it fits confortably in overhead.so long in the month i've owned it i could recommend it if you carry a good ammount of stuff.And at the end the most important thing is that i feel my macbook is VERY safeUpdate: march 20 '11: well now after more than a year i can say it's a great backpack, lots of space. It is just like day 1. I had one big fall where I though that my macbook would be damage (from a meter high with the backpack completely full of stuff) but it survived with a minimal dent on the side but no cracking. the only 2 things are:1. is that it is not able to stand wile being full of stuff and for me that is a must, but if you dont have a problem with it go with it.2. is not lightweight while being empty.

Pros
  • Can be used as a travel backpack due to its spacious interior
Cons
  • The backpack may not fit in smaller overhead compartments on airplanes
