Speck PortPack Review...Hint...Awesome!!


     I just purchased the Speck PortPack Notebook Shoulder Bag for my 15" MacBook Pro.  I needed something that would protect my computer when I took it on the go with me.  Something that would hold my computer, the cords, the accessories and that I could also use as a purse.  God knows I don't need a diaper bag, a computer bag, and a big purse slung over my shoulders when I am trying to walk out of the house holding my 2 year old son's hand and using my basketball boxout skills to prevent the two dogs from running out the front door.  If the bag happens to be super cute and easily goes with any outfit, then that is just a bonus!!!
     Well, I found all of those great things in the Speck PortPack.  I swear there is even enough room for a diaper and maybe 4-5 wipes, so it's perfect for a short trip with the boy.  I went with the grey & black PortPack.  It has a really cool lime green interior that I was not expecting, but I do like a lot.
     The inside is compact, but has a place for almost anything you would need.  The main compartment has a soft, lined, padded area for your MacBook or Notebook.  There is also a large section for your traditional notebooks, books, diapers, whatever you might desire.  There are two smaller velcro pockets. These are for your smaller important things that you do not want to lose, but you want available to you very quickly like your cell phone, wallet, or iPod, for example.  There is also a large zipper pocket inside to hold all the necessary cords and chargers.  I particularly like the outer, side, zip-up pocket for a water bottle or other beverage.  Because by no means do you want a water bottle dripping all over the inside of your bag and all over your computer.  That would very likely happen to me with my luck.
     So, there you have it.  The Speck PortPack is a wonderful and stylish shoulder bag for a busy, on-the-go lifestyle.  I purchased mine through the Mac Store and it was delivered within 24 hours.  That was the fastest anything had ever been shipped to me.  It was amazing.  Enjoy!!
