Digital Home Thoughts: Roadwired Releases the Skooba Seventeen+

"The big brother of RoadWired’s hottest-selling, award winning Skooba Satchel, the 'Seventeen+' has all of the same sleek styling and innovative details, and more. More space, more pockets, more features (mmmmm....more is good). The Seventeen+ is designed to hold any current laptop, including even the largest 'desktop replacement' 17-inch models. The Skooba Seventeen+ has over 20 pockets and compartments, to hold and organize all your digital gear, office supplies, and more. Its computer compartment is lined with Skooba’s revolutionary Air Square™ laptop protection cells, and features a unique, innovative ZipFit system that lets you increase or decrease the size of the laptop section by up to 4 inches to suit your machine. Yet despite its massive capacity, this workhorse—like all Skooba bags—is deceptively slim, sleek and lightweight (if you’re carrying a 10 lb. laptop and everything that goes with it, the last thing you want is a bag that adds to the burden)."



I admit it, I'm a huge Roadwired fan and tend to think highly of anything they put out. They just make great bags! The Skooba line of bags is particularly nice, but the previous version just wasn't quite big enough to fit my 17" laptop. I was excited to learn about the Seventeen+ being in development a couple of months ago, and about a week ago Roadwired sent me on to review. First impressions? This is an awesome bag - it fit my 17" Fujitsu laptop with room to spare, and has more pockets/zones than previous Skooba bags. It's unfortunate that it's only available in one colour currently (I dig the black/beige combo of my smaller Skooba bag), but it's one useful bag. [Affiliate]
