Review on πŸŽ’ Solo New York Duane Hybrid Convertible Laptop Briefcase, Slate, Universal Size by Alex Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great bag except for one major flaw.

With new problems on international flights and with my old scooter and my (dying out) big computer bag I reinvented my luggage strategy and this was part of it. For the most part, I really liked this bag. There wasn't much room for small items and things I like to take with me when I travel, but I still managed reasonably well. I downsized a few things and just sorted them out - there were still some pretty good places to put things in and I liked the outer bays. The interior padding was good enough for a computer, and the iPad slot was cool (it used to fit an external slot, but this bag didn't have an external compartment or full-length slot). The biggest downside, which I consider a huge downside for no apparent reason, is that there is no strip of fabric to slip over the handle of my roller bag! It could easily be sewn to the back detaching revealing the backpack's straps and I can't understand why they aren't there. I quickly unscrewed the strap from the backpack and clipped it onto the outer clip to do the same, but not tight enough to hold it firmly to the handle. So on an uneven surface (sidewalk, etc.) the bag still slipped and fell off the back of the handle and hung from the back. Maybe I'll see if I can sew something in there. That's why I don't give it 5 stars. In addition, a small, light, flexible bag, suitable for your travels for your computer and accessories.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Weak
