I LOVE this bookbag.  I got the Ron Burgundy Color not only because it was an absolute STEAL at $28.00 plus free 2 day shipping, but the color is really rich and vibrant too.  I've never owned any Ogio products so of course I read all the reviews before I bought it.  And they are SPOT on.

The main storage area for your books and such are pretty spacious,although my only complaint is that it's not roomy enough?  But I guess its hard to fit 2 huge science texts, two 1.5 inch binders and another textbook ( its a tight fit)  The problem with this tight fit is that the books absolutely will put pressure on your laptop ( pining it against ur back), risking damage.  I think if u have only a book and binder or two, then this bookbag would hold an additional laptop PERFECTLY.

On the left side there two pockets.  I use the bottom one to hold my contacts, solution, hand sanitizer, anti diarrhea med ( for exam days,don't ask lol), miscellaneous stuff.  The top one I stuff with about 6 granola bars and a pack of gum.  On the right side, there is a tall pocket that fits a bottle of water PERFECTLY ( I use a 28oz blender bottle)  Or you can put a ti-83 and such there.

At the top there are 2 weatherproof pockets.  I have yet to test their weatherproofness though.  The smaller one is the audio pocket with headphones port.  If ur thinking, won't the water enter through the port...It won't because the port doesnt open directly into the pocket.  Simple and ingenious.  The bigger pocket can hold cd size things.  In fact I usually put my G1 phone and canon 790 IS camera in there.  Fits great.

Right below the main compartment where the books go is another pretty large compartment for additional storage.  It's divided into at least 6-8 additional areas of various sizes for really practical and useful storage: slots for pens, a big zipped pocket, a clear plastic lined pocket for ID cards?, a small pocket with a velcro cover, and so on.  Absolutely great.

At the bottom front of the bookbag is another weatherproof storage pocket for Im guessing the power cord,mouse and other accessories.  I use it to hold my ti-83 and a little scientific calculator.

The handle and shoulder straps are sturdy and hold the bookbag up really well.  The zippers feel really solid and well made.  The weatherproof seals are also well made and have a tight seal.  Oh and did i mention that 30year workmanship and defects free guarantee Ogio stands by on this bookbag ( not mentiooned on amazon but comes IN bookbag upon purchase.  That says it all.

Basically my only complaints are maybe not enough room for books, but if u really think about it, no bookbag can hold 3,4 textbooks and accompanying binders AND a laptop.  Maybe could use thicker padding for lappy for extra precaution.  But otherwise, this bookbag is well made, with sooooo many storage pockets that are just downright useful and extremely practical.  U won't be disappointed in this Metro bookbag.  HIghly recommended.  Although i don't use this to hold my laptop because of reasons stated above, it is nevertheless an AMAZING daily book lugger.

UPDATE:  January 18, 2011.  It's been a little over two years since I bought this bookbag and I still love it.  I carry just about everything in it for school, with daily usage weight of about 30-45 pounds, and I've never had a problem with the bookbag.  ( I don't use the bookbag to carry my laptop (I have another Ogio one for that :P).  My only issue is that the plastic, waterproof linings along the pocket on the very bottom, and the two pockets near the top are now starting to crack and probably will come apart.  To me, this is a minor issue, given how the bookbag had performed overall.  I would not hesitate to buy this Metro bookbag or another type from Ogio again.  I hope I can get another one at the same price I paid for this one.
