Perfect commuter day backpack for the professional.

Excellent quality backpack from Brenthaven. Looks and feels professional and you will not feel self-conscious carrying this pack into a meeting in the office. This is a pack that is perfect for both men and women.I spent quite some time researching commuter backpacks before finally settling on the MetroLite.I had previously ordered the Osprey Pixel Daypack, which in itself is another excellent bag, but found it too long, and did not have enough pockets for my needs, so I returned it and went…

Pros
  • QUALITY: 100 Percent Lifetime Quality Assurance
Cons
  • Limited color options

Very good bag but just a little too small

Great quality backpack. Very professional looking. You will appreciate this backpack. The one downside for me is that it is a little too small. I like to have a couple of side pockets for a water bottle and I like to stuff papers and folders in the bag. You can't cram too much in way of papers, books and electronics. So I will use this backpack for going into the office when I don't need to fill it up and I will need to use a larger backpack when it comes to overnight trips when I like to bring

Pros
  • DIMENSION AND WEIGHT: Height 18 Inches, Width12.5 Inches, Depth 6.50 Inches; Weight 2.6 LBS
Cons
  • Inner lining is prone to tearing

Do yourself a favor and buy this bag.

yep its smaller but thats its best feature. This fits under the airplane seat with enough room for me to put my feet on each side. I have traveled heavily with this bag for almost three years. The ONLY issue I ever had was the strap breaking. And by that I mean the stitching came undone where it is normally attached to the bag near the bottom. That is after three heavy years of traveling. I have had zero other issues including things like broken zippers or stitching issues. Looking at many bags

Pros
  • Takes weight off your back but unable to locate beverage pocket.
Cons
  • Large, bulky design

great looking professional bag, very protective and practical

I got this for my boyfriend to use professionally. It looks great - sleek but understated. You might want to know that it's also not shiny (I thought the material looked a bit shiny in the picture, but it's more muted and looks as high quality as it is; very professional). Also very functional and very well-constructed. It's not very big, but that's an asset since it reduces bulk while there's enough room for everything on the daily commute. Due to the ample protective cushioning provided in…

Pros
  • The black color of the backpack is sleek and professional-looking
Cons
  • Zippers are prone to getting stuck

Don't be fooled by the pictures - nicely compact but adequate.

Everything I wanted in a backpack for my ultrabook and iPad, with just enough extra storage for a minimal amount of cables, portable hard drive, charging bricks, etc. I ordered and returned 3 others before getting this one, thinking it would be to bulky. In my opinion, the pictures don't do this pack justice in regards to size/bulk. For me, it's perfect in size - not the slimmest, but not as big as the pictures conveyed to me. The laptop compartment is very well padded, the extra pockets are…

Pros
  • The backpack has a convenient top handle, making it easy to grab and go
Cons
  • Lacks necessary organizational pockets for frequent travelers

Compact backpack for daily use

If you want compact and not very big backpack, you'll love this one. Enough space to put all your daily needs and walk around or bike with ease. And if you travel a lot and use airports, the X-ray feature will make your life easer when you pass through airport security. The only thing that I miss is better zippers that are waterproof, or some kind of a extra layer that will prevent rain from entering the backpack.

Pros
  • The backpack has a luggage strap, making it easy to attach to a rolling suitcase for seamless transportation
Cons
  • Straps are prone to becoming loose over time

urban professional good for me

I am exremley pleased with this product. Brenthaven designed a bag that is comfortable, with great function, style and durability. I use this bag daily lugging my laptop and business material, walking the city all day I don't feel the weight of the cargo it's properly balanced with good padding on the back and thick shoulder straps.The design is well thought out nothing hangs from the bag that can snag, the zippers are large and easy to use. The amount and size of the pockets and are accurate…

Pros
  • The rugged protection offered by the backpack ensures that your devices are safe from damage
Cons
  • Inner compartments lack padding for added protection

Great bag for an office commute

If you are looking for a bag to hold everything you own, or for school, this bag is not it.I'd agree that it is a little bit on the small side. And it would be nice to have had some external pockets for a water bottle or umbrella. Still. a very nice, light, well made bag.I discovered something, not sure of it is by design or not. Yes, the bag butterflies open, but you can also use that area as a large, separate, zippered pocket. I'm keeping a compact umbrella, gloves, and a pair of 180s ear…

Pros
  • The backpack has a padded laptop compartment, ensuring that your device is safe from scratches and damage
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with additional accessories

I had this backpack from about 4 years (from a merchandise of Cisco) and is really good and very practical inside specially for network engineers with different stuff but having a stylish backpack (instead the big backpacks from another brands).I bought this as a renewal of my very old backpack, and it is exactly the same and beautiful, specially all internal repositories it has and very thin when you bring it. But why three stars? : the backpack has a just one bad design issue, it has a zipper

Pros
  • The backpack has a water-resistant exterior, making it ideal for use in inclement weather
Cons
  • Can be too bulky for smaller individuals

This is only an OK computer pack, but it falls well short of the usual standards of a Brenthaven pack and is thus very disappointing as such. The material are good, padding is good, especially the computer sleeve, and overall construction is solid. It's stylish and light, without sacrificing protection.Where it falls short though, is in numerous areas:• Missing more mesh pockets in the middle section, as other Brenthaven packs have, to hold the smaller odds and ends• The two outer organizer…

Pros
  • The backpack is TSA-friendly, allowing you to pass through security checkpoints with ease
Cons
  • No specific design for specific genders

Great bag for Djs and business trips

This bag looks great! Tough exterior, smooth interior. Sleek, not too bulky. Has 2 large compartments, a medium one and several smaller ones all over. Straps are very comfortable on the shoulders. I Dj and it's a perfect fit for my MacBook pro 15" w a hardcase on. I also fit my music hardware, several cables, flashlight, and my business cards with no problem. Great buy for a great price!

Pros
  • The backpack has a built-in USB charging port, allowing you to charge your devices on the go
Cons
  • Front compartments can easily get tangled and messy

I have had this backpack for over a year now, and I have mixed feelings about it. A back pack at this price should be high enough quality that it would last me years. Unfortunately, this backpack has only been through light use and already has pulled strings and flayed edges (as you can see in the pictures). Not only that, but it really can't fit much inside of it. I can barely get a water bottle and a book to fit inside of the middle compartment comfortably. It just doesn't allow for any…

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • Narrow side pockets

Rugged and Secure for my opinion

I had this back pack for almost 10 years. So after rugged wear and tear, I had to buy the same thing again. Is comfortable to wear. It has many compartments to hold all kinds of things, and keeps my laptop very secure from bumps and falls

Pros
  • The backpack has adjustable straps, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your body
Cons
  • May not fit in overhead compartments on smaller planes

Amazing, even over a year later

It's been over a year, the better of two actually, since I purchased the Brenthaven MetroLite, and have nothing but good things to say for it.As a college student at a design university, I need my Macbook Pro with me where ever I go. So needless to say, this has gotten a lot of use.However, even after heavy, heavy use for the better part of two years, it's still lookin' spiffy fine. It's got a little fraying on the side (very minimal, only mention so you don't think it's in 100% new condition),

Pros
  • The backpack has a sternum strap, providing extra support and stability for your shoulders
Cons
  • No exterior pocket for easy access items

Kind of small for the perfect laptop bag.

Good quality but a tad smaller than I expected. If you looking for a laptop bag "only” it is fine. But if you want to stuff in a mini projector or a change of clothes it it too small. Good for commuting, but that is about it.

Pros
  • The backpack has a sleek, streamlined design, making it a great option for both men and women
Cons
  • No interchangeable straps for customization

Good but could be better.

I have two Brenthaven briefcase-style laptop cases (both great) and am a huge fan. This is my first laptop backpack. The Brenthaven quality I expected is evident, and the features are great in most respects. However, the loop handle on top is much flimsier than I expected, and its placement at the back edge of the pack causes the pack to swing out when carried. A more substantial handle placed nearer the pack's top center would be a great improvement. Also it would be nice to have a few more…

Pros
  • The backpack has a secure zippered closure, keeping your belongings safe and secure
Cons
  • No warranty offered

Beautiful backpack, but.

No problems at all. A reliable item and in according to the specifications but you need to pay attention on the size of this bag. It's bigger for the capacity. You can find other smaller backpack with the same features.

Pros
  • The backpack is designed to fit 15.6 inch devices, making it perfect for carrying laptops and other electronics
Cons
  • Difficult to access interior pockets while wearing

My third Brenthaven and the best yet

Although I've only had the MetroLite for a month or two, I've been beating it up pretty hard during several road trips. So far, no issues whatsoever. The size, weight, and functionality of this bag suit my needs perfectly. I especially like the iPad pouch on the back. I spend a lot of time on airplanes and having the iPad stored this way is most convenient.Highly recommended.

Pros
  • The backpack has a convenient front pocket, providing easy access to your most used items
Cons
  • No additional compartments for shoes or wet items

Awesome bag best in my review

This is a great bag, professional looking and functional. I carry a 15" notebook and two circa notebooks and everything fits just fine. There is absolutely nothing I would change on this bag.while it may depend how you load your bag, mine stands up when loaded and that's an added plus

Pros
  • The backpack has a breathable mesh back panel, promoting air circulation and keeping you cool
Cons
  • Can be too large for brief trips

Excellent travel backpack for your computer

I’ve bought two of these. The first was stolen and purchasing a replacement backpack was the first thing I did. This is freat for people who travel regularly, as you don’t have to remove your laptop when going through security.My bag has seen a lot of miles and I am ready to get a new one. I use precheck and global access now, so my next bag will not need to unzip.

Pros
  • The backpack has a non-slip bottom, providing added stability when placed on a surface
Cons
  • Lacks additional padding for shoulder and back support
