Customer Review: Poor Strap Design & Customer Service
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this bag some time in Dec. of 2004. I use it to carry my Inspiron 9100 laptop. As those of you that also own that machine, you'll surely know the weight of the 9100.
This bag has many compartments. The laptop fits perfectly into the "sleeve" that fits into the bag (as seen on the 3rd picture when you click on "see more pictures"). However, there's another "sock" like padding cover that does not fit a 17'' laptop no matter how you try to fit it. I found no use for it. The padding inside the bag is still sufficient even though I couldn't fit the extra padding.
It seems that this bag runs into a poor design with its shoulder strap. Although the bag seems like it is made to carry a heavy laptop, the strap has very little reinforcement. It ripped at the center of the strap where it contacts the tip of your shoulders. That part of the strap is made of stretchable foam material. The material adds comfort and a little more support on your shoulders (hence they claim it feels 35% lighter). The only problem is, this type of material is not strong enough to with stand the weight a Inspiron 9100 + the power supply and not to mention anything else you would like to carry to work with you.
To sum it up, I wouldn't recommend buying this if you have a heavy laptop. Maybe the owners of the newer Inspiron 9200 can find good use of this bag. If you own something like the Inspiron 9100 or XPS, don't bother. If you continue to read the other reviews, you will notice that I'm not the only person who experienced this problem.
