Comments about JanSport Firewire Computer Bag:

This computer backpack is great unless it rains. Then it leaks like a sieve. A backpack made to protect an expensive piece of electronics should at least be water resistant but this one is not.

Comments about JanSport Firewire Computer Bag:

Good, big, laptop backpack. Holds my 15" laptop and lots of other stuff. I use it almost daily to carry my laptop and files back and forth to work. I also use it on business trips - on such trips I carry a lot of files and misc. travel items - headphones, sweatshirt, day planner, toiletries - it's more or less a carry-on bag for me. I've had it since October (2008) and there are no signs of wear - even with the heavy load that I carry in it. (My last laptop bag died from the weight). Looks good too. It's professional enough for business, and yet looks fine on the trail too - it doubles as my daypack.

Observations: It might be nice with more compartments, but some bags have many useless compartments - this one is more flexible. The straps are a bit funny - they seem too short or something when you're putting it on your back. But once the bag is on your back, no worries - it's comfortable. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend, but with REI standing behind their products, I can easily justify it.

When I was comparing bags at REI, I brought my old bag loaded with its typical contents. This Jansport Firewire bag was the clear choice once I tried some of the bags loaded and on my back. Many others were just too small or had useless tiny compartments of felt uncomfortable.

Overall, I highly recommend it. I'd give it 4.5 stars if that were an option.

Campus life

Comments about JanSport Firewire Computer Bag:

This bag protects a laptop very well, and carries a huge load of campus essentials. However, the shoulder straps are obviously designed for a high schooler or a very small adult, and not a taller adult.

Comments about JanSport Firewire Computer Bag:

Traveled to eastern Europe and brought my 2008 MacBook Pro along for the ride and a Nikon D90 camera. Both of them came home without a scratch or bump thanks in large part to this backpack. Only bummer was that the front chest snap broke, but I hardly use that anyway. The padding took care of the goods, whether walking, hiking, or stowed away on a train or plane.
