Currently, I am deployed to Iraq in support of OIF. I bought this bag recently in preparation of redeployment to the States. I have a 17" Sony Vaio, and I have a lot of educational material I like to carry along with me. I needed a bag that would be able to carry my bag, at least one thick book, my PSP, my digital camera, my cell phone, and the corresponding charging/data cables for each device.
Shipping was fast, and my order was shipped within 24-48 hours of being ordered. Especially in Iraq, one would not expect a package to arrive for about 10 business days, but I had my new backpack within a week.
Construction is great. I have a Swiss Wenger carrying case for my camera, so I knew I was buying quality. I also needed a bag that wouldn't let water in so easily when it rained, which is exactly why I stayed away from the Targus 17" bag.
Space is lacking. My 17" fits very tightly. At first, I wasn't sure if it would fit, but sure enough, the zippers snuggly form over the edges of my Vaio. I can fit a camera, a PSP, a cell phone, an iPod, and the corresponding chargers/transfer cables in the bag. I also have a 1TB Western Digital hard drive. These items alone, along with a small 8x5" book, almost fills the bag to its limit. I can't fit the programming book I wanted to take along, and finding space for the laptop charger takes a bit of searching.
Overall, this is a great bag. It has enough room to safely store every portable electronic device I have. The only downside is getting enough space for books. The secondary compartment meant for books has barely enough space for maybe a couple folders and one or two thin books. If you want quality, go with this bag. If you want space, go with the Targus (just be careful when it rains).
----Edit (December 21, 2010)----
After over 2 years with this bag, I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 5 stars. The reason? It's lasted me two moves (from Iraq to the U.S., then from one state to another over 300 miles away), and near everyday use. It still hasn't shown signs of tearing (*knock on wood*), and comfortably fits my new 15.4" notebook and my school books. A full-load now consists of my laptop, a thin portfolio/binder, two thick books (over 500 pages each), bottled water, and various cables. There's still room for a lot of little things (e.g., pens, personal hygiene stuff, etc.). It's not as roomy as other bags, but I believe it was designed this way to maximize protection for the laptop. It was certainly an expensive purchase back in 2008, but it has lasted me over 2 years (and hopefully has plenty of life left). It was definitely worth the investment.
On my search for a bag, I developed a list of criteria necessary--I wanted a backpack vs a laptop bag so I could have everything together. More importantly, I needed copious amounts of room for my massive textbooks, quality construction and water resistance to protect my computer, drink holders on the side as I always carry water bottles to class,and separate compartments for my mouse, power cable, etc.
Pros:
-Great amount of space for the size of the bag, I can carry everything I need for a entire day at school (about 3 textbooks, a few notebooks, folio, computer & peripheries, water bottle and additional beverage, graphing calc, sunglasses) I often neglect books because it gets too heavy, not for lack of space
-Very handy top compartment has a velcro subdivision my bluetooth mouse fits into perfectly, with enough room for sunglasses and other sensitive cargo--this pocket is invaluable because it is safe from the weight and tension of a full pack
-Usually stands up on its own; as it is pretty large this makes a big difference in legroom and allows other students to pass between desks
-Stays completely dry in light rain
-Lightly padded laptop partition and secure mouse space gives me peace of mind
-Hands-down the most comfortable bag I have ever owned! I cannot overstate this; I rave about this backpack on the rare opportunity it comes up, there's no way to convey how much I just love to wear this thing. The shoulder straps and back of the bag have gel padding which makes a huge difference, and the shoulder straps have "shock absorbers" at the top which stretch with every step, absorbing energy and preventing them from digging into your shoulders. I get a very nerdy sense of pleasure when I walk down steps and feel them stretch with every stair. The gel on the back is also positioned in a way that can cool you off if you catch a nice breeze.
-There's a perfect spot for pretty much everything
-High quality construction including a metal cable for the top handle and rugged bottom for standing up
Cons:
-Doesn't always stand up, especially with computer and a textbook together in an otherwise empty bag. If the weight isn't distributed, it will tip over. Do not stand it up on the edge of a table or lab bench--it is gut-wrenching when your laptop falls towards the ground.
-Compartment for laptop isn't quite padded enough, I recommend buying a separate protection case/sleeve for peace of mind
-Water/beverage holders are a little small--after some forceful persuasion I am now able to fit my usual 1L water bottles into them
-Pockets on side by beverage holders serve little purpose for me (except for socks on an overnight trip), and their zippers often tap against my water bottle as I walk, which can be pretty annoying
-Could be a bit large if you are a small individual; it's pretty tall
-Front pocket organization is good isn't spectacular--not something I really need but if you want to have all of your post-its and highlighters and staplers meticulously sorted, you may be able to to better
-May incite ridicule from your girlfriend or friends (probably just bag envy)
Verdict:
There is no reason not to buy this bag. If you plan on carrying a computer and several books, this bag is ideal and available for a great price! The Pegasus is rugged, I take it everywhere. Overnight trips, camping, travel, appointments, even if I only have to carry a notebook and a drink, I'd rather wear this thing and keep my hands free than carry them otherwise. Comfort, construction, and versatility to last!
Top reviews from other countries
In general Laptop bags have a thin padding at the back side of the laptop compartment. But if you are carrying a gaming or heavy laptop that doesn't work. It hurts your shoulder and back while carrying them. Even there are some other bag company like the clownfish, red lemon who provide proper back side padding but they are not sturdy and they also have a lower quality. But these doesn't matter if you need a bag for just carrying your laptop to college or office. So they are good enough or there are other renowned brands like American tourister, skybag, Wildcraft etc.
Specifically talking about this bag, it's a bit costly maybe that's the only con. It could have been a bit lower. But it's material is super good, has a lot of space and compartments. Specially designed for traveling as you have pockets where you can keep your immediate documents like passport and ticket. You can put it on your cabin luggage with the help of trolley strap. And it's long lasting. It's back support is extremely comfortable and the shock absorbing shoulder strap is an add on to it's quality.
And it looks exactly like the one in the pictures.
