[Yes] The Thule 15.6 laptop bag is perfect for safely and securely transporting my 16 inch laptop. There is adequate padding provided to protect it from minor bumps and drops.

Along with both a handle for carrying, it It also provides a shoulder strap. It additionally provides several added zippered and padded pockets for peripherals that might be needed for its use along with a strap that slips over the extended handle of a rolling bags that will secure it to a rolling bag when transiting through airports.

There is no question that it is well made and will last the test of time.

At the time of purchase I also ordered the Thermaltake Notebook Cooler which keeps my laptop from overheating during extended use. It amounts to minimally elevated ergonomic designed platform to provide a comfortable typing angle. It is made of plastic and a metal mesh with a small light weight, silent fan, providing the cooling. It has an adjustable speed knob to set the needed cooling. It will accommodate up to a 17 inch laptop. There are rubber tabs at the corners to keep the laptop from sliding off of the platform. I would however advise using this product on a flat hard surface as it functions on air flow. If it is used sitting on your lap or other like surface it’s efficiency will be significantly reduced.

It provides an attached USB cable to connect to a power source. The cable is conveniently stored in its base.

I ran both the laptop and Notebook Cooler off of my PowerCore.

As an plus to this setup the NoteBook Cooler fits inside a it’s own secondary Thule zippered pocket. In the remaining pockets in the Thule bag there was still room for with my laptop and its necessary peripherals. If I wanted there was still additional padded space for an iPad and iPhone.

This package met all of my wishes in providing me with a functioning, protected mobile technology base.

PS The Thermaltake Notebook Cooler was purchased from B&H for $19.99. Can’t beat that.

[Yes] Great solid bag.

[2.635 lb] I needed a new bag for my new MBP 13' (another great B&H purchase) and was looking at attach, brief case and messenger styles. I'm happy to have chosen this Thule. It has just enough room for my laptop and peripherals, it is well padded and has Thule's solid build quality. The shoulder strap allows it to function like a messenger bag, but the attach style gives me the professional style I need when meeting clients. I highly recommend it!

[Yes] This bag is extremely well made with best fabric quality and it looks very nice. Thule truly lives up to its reputation. So glad I bought this one!

[Black] I needed a bag to replace the one I had for my laptop. I wanted something with a removable strap.Check. I wanted one that could a charger and a couple accessories. Check. That there was a pocket for my kindle was a plus. Thule makes good stuff in general, though they are more known for bike racks and I am very pleased with this bag.

[Black] This bag is very sturdy, cushioned, and has lots of compartments for my laptop and accessories!
