At 5’4”, the reviewer found the strap too long even at its shortest adjustment, making the briefcase uncomfortable to carry. The interior includes plenty of pockets and a key strap attached inside the briefcase for organizing carried items. The reviewer found enough interior room for a 15-inch laptop, an iPad, electronics, and everyday paperwork.
The reviewer fit a Lenovo ThinkPad T400 with an extended battery alongside a portable hard drive, wallet, CDs, and smaller items. After packing usual work gear, the reviewer found the briefcase extremely heavy and impractical for everyday carrying to the office.
