The reviewer reports that the top opening can be difficult because the unstructured bag makes the zipper pull navigate two square corners. The reviewer reports that the X-Tote is constructed from technical fabrics and has an estimated four-pound overall weight. The main compartment provides a padded, suspended laptop area plus two additional pockets, according to the reviewer’s description of organization.
The reviewer fit multiple laptops, a portable display, and an iPad into the X-Tote’s main compartment and front pocket. The reviewer considers the padded rear vertical zipper pocket a better location for a phone or wallet than the unpadded lid pocket.
