I ordered this backpack because I was tired of my messenger bag and its sloppy arrangement of effective compartments. The Metro is perfect, there's a pocket for everything from my iPod, phone, laptop, wallet, keys, power cord, glasses, etc. The only thing missing is a hydration sleeve, but I honestly wouldn't use it that much anyway. Would recommend to any friend who has to cart around textbooks or a notebook PC.

I researched bags for a bit, and decided to go with Ogio Metro. I think this bag has a lot of strong points, but a also a couple of fatal flaws. It has a nice padded side/rear pocket for your laptop which only fits 15" and under laptops.If you want to play it safe on what bags your laptop will fit into check out ebags .It also has a pocket inside the main compartment, that you are supposed to be able to fit a laptop in, but I have a hard enough time squeezing a magazine in it, and couldnt see much more than maybe a 12" laptop fitting that designated area (if that). I love all of the random pockets great for small digital cameras, portable hard drives, cables, power supplies, randomness, & I also use the long compartment on the left side for my Umbrella (nice fit). I don't like how the main compartment doesn't open as wide as I'm used to.I thought it would at least hold a 12" vinyl record, but because of the design its impossible to fit in even with force. I haven't had any problem with lack of padding or the bag being uncomfortable while using, which I have seen other complain of ? The build of this bag is great and the warranty is even better. The extra strong handle is a nice touch. It also looks great ! I picked up the red (Burgundy) one to hopefully increase visiblity while using this while commuting on my bike.
