I can often fit the equivalent of a lunch sack in my bag even if I have a laptop and notebook in the bag. The front large pocket is especially good for this, if it isn’t overly filled up with other items.
@mehgrl They’re not pretty or cheap, but I bought one of these bags years ago for an ex who had one of those monstrous ASUS Republic of Gaming barely-a-laptops, and it was sturdy and well padded. Said ex is probably still using that backpack to this day, and it’s been almost 4 years with multiple moves (one international in his case) since then. I would not trust myself to carry an enormous thousand dollar machine one handed, so no help on briefcases, but regardless.
@norman8 Frankly I hope he’s still using it because it’s that good, without considering our relationship. We’ve been apart for over two years now, and for me at least that was a good thing. He was a good man, but not the one for me and my future, and I hope he knows/recognizes that I was not the woman for him and his future.
Neither of us live in the place we were trying to settle together, since our careers have gone in wildly different directions since. We’re both dating others now, rather happily from my understanding, and building new and good lives apart.
@Kawa Thanks for sharing. It’s good you realized the fit wasn’t perfect as many people don’t. As time goes on, we tend to remember the good things (like the backpack! ). I hope that’s been the case for you guys.
Ok, well here’s the deal. I can’t afford this. I’m currently very poor and I can’t let my VMP lapse.
The sweet Bluetooth headset I got in my fuko lasted a week before they literally burnt up. I got a full 8 days of feeling like a dandy fop with my cordless extravagance.
I am back to using these horrible ear buds that I also got from a fuko. They fal out 20 times-a-day while I work. They are Phillips buds that have the wonderful purpose of being open so you can ear outside noises, but while trying to reach that goal they made earbuds that fall out when you shift your weight. Horrible. But without them I’d have to buy some. Then how could I afford VMP?
So my actual point is, this is a pretty cool case at a good price for those who need a real latopbag but want to put it on their back. It may be awful for most, but it’s a great deal for those few who need it! Think of the poor folks who got a heavy-ass laptop they need two shoulders to carry before you dash it all to bits. Now excuse me while I go work at the factory so I can make my VMP payments.
I actually have one of these, $40 at Walmart, and I love it enough I that just bought a backup for the sad day this one gives out. It’s great as a briefcase for day to day use, but for travel it is a nice little backpack.
Strange size if you want to use it for travel. United’s carry on allowance is 9" x 14" x 22", personal item (laptop bag) is 9" x 10" x 17". This is 12.5" x 17" x 5".
As someone who deals with Solo & their parent and sister companies, the -10 is the color code for grey. -4 is black and I have no idea what three colors they went thru before they got to black.
Or I could go to even the shittiest of thrift stores in this town and choose from a pile of very similar merch sold for just one dollar. Fifty cents if its tag is Color of the Day.
Oh man, it’s so funny to see these here! I bought one of these years ago and it was the best laptop bag/briefcase thing I’ve ever owned. Good quality, stays together even though I stuff it, and it’s pretty nice looking for what it does.
My first one came apart after I completely abused it, so I got a second one (which I still use.) My mom liked it so much she even got one and I think she uses it daily.
I’d have bought a fourth one even though I don’t need it, but unfortunately it looks like the deal sold out

@norman8 In your stomach?
Is this the Prius of bags?
/giphy han solo bag
@somf69 Is this what Harrison Ford was doing when he missed the runway?
Would love to see one that fits a 17" laptop for those of us who want to lug something so stupidly heavy around.
@mehgrl pythagoras’ theorem indicates this is possible with this bag, but check your actual dimensions before ordering.
@mehgrl 17" laptop? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
@mehgrl Trust me it’ll fit
I have a typical 17" inch bag and this laptop does not fit. Here are the dimensions of my current laptop:
Height 1.6"
Width 16.7"
Depth 12.7"

@Kawa Yes that’s pretty much what I’m stuck with using also. Unfortunately at that price my laptop is grounded permanently.
@Kawa I think he’s still using it because you gave it to him.
@norman8 Frankly I hope he’s still using it because it’s that good, without considering our relationship. We’ve been apart for over two years now, and for me at least that was a good thing.

Looks a little nicer than the bag I’m using now, so why the fuck not.

@zachhh If you are making the products meh.com sells, you are probably making $5/month, so yeah,I understand your concern.
I’m a sucker for stuff like this. A backpack/luggage hybrid will hang nicely with the other backpack I bought from Meh that also doubles as a seat.

Please bring this back - I shipped it with my son’s name on it, and he loved it – too bad for dear old dad, who needed a work bag…
