I purchased this laptop bag to hold an Acer Chromebook CB3-431 14" as our previous laptop is the 15.6" size and I wanted a snug fit for my new purchase. This is particularly important as we only really use it when we go away and it gets thrown into the case with the clothes so it needs to be held securely. The main pocket is perfectly sized for the Chromebook and it will not jiggle about whilst you carry it.
I also need quite a lot of storage room in a bag and this one provides just enough. We use a chunky mouse so that takes up quite a bit of room and at first I was worried that with the mobile phone charger, chromebook charger, charger for the digital camera, mobile dongle, bluetooth headphones and the mouse it wouldn't all fit. A little judicious angling of the plugs and everything has gone in securely and without leaving the bag bulging uncomfortably or the stitching straining. To be honest I thought it would as it feels very compact. To be honest I could probably easily get my Kindle Paperwhite and my husbands Galaxy Tablet in there as well without any of it feeling in danger of being damaged or of straining the bag.
The padding on the bag is nicely squishy and there feels to be plenty of it - certainly as much, if not more, than the £20 Logic 15.6 version that I own for my Lenovo Laptop. There is also a padded section on the shoulder strap which is a nice touch as the webbing can dig in if you are carrying it over your shoulder and not wearing a thick top of jacket - particularly annoying in summer when it bites through your T-Shirt.
The fabric itself feels like a nylon weave which isn't particularly tactile but it does give you hope that it will be more or less showerproof. The only drawback is that apart from the small front pocket zip all the zips are uncovered so if you did get caught in a shower moisture could easily seep through. I did like the fact that main pocket designed to hold your laptop has a twin zipper array so you could put a small travel padlock on it you wanted for added security. The stitching all feels nicely secure and I did give it a bit of a tug about before starting to load everything in.
As the name suggests it is basic with no frills but it adequately does the job it is intended for. Whilst it may not have an aesthetic flourishes it is designed very well for its purpose.
