The reviewer considers the Solo Altitude moderately to highly priced, while still judging it worth the cost overall. The lower front compartment has a yellow lining and is designed to hold pens, pencils, and other supplies. A wide upper-front compartment can carry a light jacket or sweatshirt, while elastic at its opening helps retain items.
The main compartment accommodates a laptop and tablet, and includes a cargo net for cables and other accessories. The padded back section includes shoulder straps, a chest strap, and an opening for sliding over rolling-suitcase handles.
