Opinions Please: Swiss Gear Synergy Notebook Backpack

I checked out/examined this backpack at my local Office Max ($80) and found it for $50 on Amazon + free shipping. Overall the reviews are really good and I am tempted to buy it. I'll be carrying my Macbook (soon) with me to campus.

Opinions/Criticism/Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

One of my friends actually has that bag. I used it once, all the cushion on the back of it is nice. I think your macbook would be safe in it.

I actually bought this bag from Circuit City. I was pretty excited when I got it but when my wife looked at me with the bag on she said I looked funny. I'm 5'5" and the bag seemed too big, she used the example of Dora the Explorer. If this might be a problem for you be sure to have another person take a look when you are wearing it. Otherwise the bag was very well made and quite roomy. I was bummed to take it back.

I was actually thinking about that. Would I look like a turtle with it on? Hmm...yeah I'll have to head back and try it on. I placed an order on Amazon already. Arrives Tuesday

I just got that backpack ... and its AWESOME ! that is the only thing that I can tell you. its big you have a lot of room for stuff I use it everyday to go to work and your MBP will be very protective. Very well made.

I would recommend this one with my eyes close.

Well it came out to $61 with 2nd day air. I would choose the free shipping + $2.50 off promo they are having (so less than $48!!) but I need to head home after finals and was afraid it would be cutting close. Still $61 isn't bad considering Office Max is asking $80 without tax

But that's for the opinion. That made me reassure the backpack was a good choice.
