The Commuter makes a better laptop bag imo. I take the back panel and make a padded pocket with a velcro flap and accessory pockets, it ends up about 18" wide and 12" tall (enough for most laptops). The Commuter mini can fit a MacBook nicely without a pocket, but unless you've got an iPad or netbook, a padded pocket will be too small (16" by 10"). It's $10 to add one to your bag.

Thanks so much for the positive words guys! I haven't been posting here as much lately because I've been busy making bags. I had a lot of help here from other bag makers back in the day when I was just learning how to sew. Do Adam from Zugster or Dan from Seagull post anymore?
