It
doesn’t take long to assess bag basics, although durability tests might take
years (as with my DayMakers handbag).
So
here’s the Good, Bad and Ugly – what I like or not about using this particular
wheeled computer bag I got. (Note that
it was a gift, so I don’t have model name or number. No, this was not sent to me by the company
for product review purposes.)
Like:
that it holds a lot! Laptop,
accessories, files and legal pads, more.
An ingenious side-entrance pocket is perfect for CD/DVDs in their jewel
boxes. Since I have an expensive set of
brain entrainment CDs which cannot be downloaded (or play on my ’puter), the
whole set and portable CD player fit into that pocket. There’s a water bottle holder on the other
side.
Dislike:
vertical design means digging deeply, and stuff gets lost in the bottom. The office supplies pocket has pen loops and
pockets, but is a bit too tight for a real collection of doodads: paper clips
and clamps, earbuds, phone recharger, Post-It Note pads, and that wild
assortment of itty-bitty stuff in need of organization and accessibility. The old wheelies did better on that score. Zipper pulls have no holes to accommodate
luggage locks, and there always comes a time when you need to zip up more
securely.
Open
for Debate: the extendable handle seems a bit flexible, which could be a
worry. Too early to say.
On
the whole, it’s working for me at the moment.
For daily commuter use, it’s a cute, stylish, functional office on
wheels. For the really long haul, I just
don’t know.
May
your road rise to meet you – and your wheelies rise to the occasion!
