Just bought a Belkin messenger bag. First impression, padding is superior. So far I have checked some of the Targus and Dicota bags, the padding in those cannot compare to Belkin's one. But don't get me wrong, Targus and Dicota's padding is not bad, just that I felt Belkin's one is better.

Design wise it's simple and practical, but there's not much stuff you can stuff in it. Just laptop and its accessories. If that is all you need the bag for, then it worth every money spent.

I'll post some pictures later together with detailed review.
(Maybe next weekend or something.)

P/S: For god sake, go spend money on a better bags that can actually protect your laptop instead of some el-cheapo random brand one just to save a little. You paid thousands for your laptop don't you think it deserved a better protection? That's my humble advice.

And better doesn't mean more expensive one. You gotta inspect the bag, touch it, feel it and compare it with other bags.

Bought it for 75 SGD in Funan IT Mall.

I'm not sure which shop in KL is also selling this bag.

I remembered seeing some Deuters but from exterior look, the fabrics are soft so I didn't bother to check.

Large? Yes certainly they are large.

But requirements for a good laptop bag are different from requirements for good backpacking bag.

You will need to realize that.

And by the way, I don't really believe from what I heard. I believe in what I see.
