CalPak Satellite 18-inch Rolling Laptop Backpack

I bought this for a round the world trip. The zipper broke on my first leg of 15+ flights. Based on that, I have to say poor craftsmanship. If you're using this for a book or two, probably no issue. But if this is what you are planning on living out of for a couple weeks, I would go elsewhere. Of course, Overstock took care of it and gave me a full refund. Thanks Overstock!!!!

Pros: Lots of pockets, accomodates my 15" ThinkPad (snugly, but it fits), can be carried as a backpack, fits in overhead on airlines, lightweight, inexpensive.Cons: Not durable. Bought one 4 months ago, use it daily in my commute in Boston. Bearings in one wheel have fallen out, in the other they're badly rusted and squeeky. There's no way to replace them because of single-mold construction. Even before the bearings went the wheels were very loud whether on concrete or on smooth floor or carpet.Seam in the front pocket tore a few weeks ago.Summary: I'd pass on this - it's not inexpensive enough to justify buying a new one every 3 months, especially considering the trash generated by 4 broken bags per year.

The laptop pouch on this bag is very small which is misleading since the bag is good size. Nowhere in the description does it say the size of the laptop pouch so I assumed it was equivalent to the measurements given but it is not. A 13 inch laptop is a tight tight squeeze and a 15 inch laptop is impossible to fit in th pouch. Only buy this bag if you have a tiny laptop.
