CHEAP Caselogic ZLBS-116 Check Point Friendly 16-Inch Laptop Backpack (Black)
I work at a university and need to transport various papers and sometimes bulky textbooks. I wanted a backpack to replace what I used to carry: a Land’s End briefcase and a separate laptop bag. In buying a backpack, my criteria were:
1) My 13-inch MacBook must fit. It does, no problem. It can hold a substantially larger laptop, but I’m not sure how large. There’s a lot of space around my laptop though. The padding is substantial and seems to be adequate.
2) I wanted the backpack to look neat without a lot of straps and stuff hanging loose and no open external pouches. I wanted it to be as streamlined as possible. This one is. About the only thing hanging loose are the zipper pulls, but they’re really quite inconspicuous. I like the velcro thingies that keep the excess shoulder strap wrapped up and out of the way. I think I would rather carry a briefcase in a more formal business situation, but this could work in a more casual business setting.
3) I wanted a backpack that could carry all my stuff. It has a fair amount of carrying space for stuff besides the laptop. A lot of pockets in a few compartments. In the main compartment, I carry some folders, maybe a textbook or two, some small stuff and my lunch. One thing that I would have liked different would be one or two more small interior pockets at different heights. As it is, the small stuff tends to all drop to the bottom of the backpack. If the small stuff were spread out more, the backpack could be a little flatter and stuff would be more accessible. That’s just a minor preference though and not a major complaint. This backpack can’t carry ALL of the stuff that I used to carry in my briefcase and laptop bag, mostly because my lunch would take a beating, but I probably hauled around too much stuff before anyway. This backpack has a lot of space in it though and it really is well-designed.
4) I wanted it to be well made. Overall, the backpack is well constructed. The zippers are sturdy and stay closed. I don’t see any apparent weak spots in the construction. The shoulder straps are nicely padded and comfortable. The material seems to be very strong. The single carrying handle on top is adequately padded and appears to be sturdily attached.
I have not flown with this yet so I have not tried out the butterfly feature that supposedly lets you run it through security without taking out your laptop, but the mechanism is nicely designed and quick to use and it would be extremely convenient if the security people let you do it. It would be easy enough to remove the laptop if necessary, so it’s not a big deal. A couple of the smaller compartments are very easy to access and would be nice for grabbing boarding passes quickly when whipping through the airport. The flap that lets you slip the backpack over the pull handle of a carry-on bag is nice too. This backpack would be great to travel with. I would use a regular carry-on bag for clothes and all to be stuffed in the overhead bin, and this backpack would be the bag I keep with me and stow under the seat.
When I was shopping for this backpack, the only reviews I found appeared to be for a very different bag, so many of the comments do not apply to this backpack. I am not sure, but I suspect that this is the next generation of the CLBS-116. Some of the comments about that backpack do not apply to this one. For example, I have never had the side zippers for the butterfly feature creep open inadvertently. Someone complained that the CLBS-116 has no opening for headphones to fit through. The ZLBS-116 has no dedicated headphone opening either, which is fine with me. I’m sure I could run the wire through one of the zippered openings if I really wanted to.
Overall, I’m very happy with this backpack. I would buy it again and I recommend it.

CHEAP WiFi Wireless IEEE 802.11N/G/B WLAN 150Mbps Network Dongle Adapter USB2.0 Wireless Lan USB Adapter for WiFi Wireless USB Lan Adapter Link for PSP NDS PS3 Wii Laptop Noteook Desktop PC Suport Vista/Windows 7(32bit & 64bit)/Linux
I have used this wireless card on two different computers and love the results. Both are in homes, so not sure about the range, but in each house it has worked beautifully. The only negative about this product is the driver cd. It does not automatically download the driver as the paper insert says it will. But you don’t have to look too far into the files to find it. The drivers are there, you just have to investigate a little and click on the driver file directly. Once you do, the wizard guides you through the process as it normally would. I have successfully installed this product on computers running Windows XP and Vista. Both were used to connect a Wii to the internet and this card works great for that purpose. This is a fabulous product for the money.

CHEAP Belkin Neoprene Notebook Sleeve for 15.4-Inch Laptop (F8N048-KN)
This product came on time, and was well packaged. It was in the exact condition that was promised. The only thing wrong, however, is that I believe I may have been sent the wrong size! I ordered one that would fit a 15.4 in laptop, and it is extremely loose. I believe I accidentally received a 17 in. Other than that, I would purchase from these sellers.
