How does this product compare to the Mobile Edge Onyx Geneva laptop bag that's sold on amazon?

Don't purchase this bag. While it is nice and room. I received it dirty and with a strong chemical smell that does NOT go away. I tried Several times contacting amazon, sent emails with pictures of the bag as I received it, to ask for a replacement and got no response. Very DISAPPOINTED!

Not sure how they compare, I was looking for one to handle a 17" pc, that looked like a tote instead of a briefcase and was inexpensive

I have not seen the other bag in person, so I am afraid that I cannot answer that question. I am sorry!

I've had mine for about 2 months and I've used it everyday to lug around my laptop, binders, and a whole lot of other things, it gets pretty heavy for me but I don't feel like the straps are thin at all. I'd definitely choose this one over a similar one that I had seen at Target. The one I had seen at Target was definitely something that wouldn't probably have lasted and it was more expensive..

I carry both a laptop and a tablet and this bag has secure storage for both. You will be surprised at how thoughtful the designers were when they made this bag. I'm on my second one in 12 years (the first one didn't wear out, it was destroyed in a house fire). I recommend this bag to all road warriors!

i guess more of the curved. the hydration pack is curved and that sits closets to your back, but there is some curve to the rest of it. This bag wasn't exactly designed for laptops. check out the momentum or the radial or the spin series. they will get you closer to what you're looking for if laptops are important. I should say that it's certainly possible to put one in there if you need to, remember there's not much of a bottom and no padding for one.

From the looks of it and the partial response below, it looks like the more expensive version has a larger carrying bag. This is the version I bought and you can fit everything back into the case with protective boxes/padding for the lights, and gear. On the cheaper one, it looks like it's just a loose bag that may only hold the stands and umbrellas. I suppose if you plan on travelling with it, it would be better to get the one with the better bag. However, if you plan on setting it up permanently then I would opt for the cheaper version. Hope that helps. On a side note... Please don't assume this larger bag is padded and more secure. It it still pretty flimsy but it holds everything in their separate boxes which is why I think its more secure and safe to travel with.

I do not carry a laptop in my bag, but I tried a 10"X15" laptop. It fits snug but good in the back padded compartment. I think you will like the bag. Mine arrived with a plastic strap buckle the was the wrong one and would not snap. After a call and one additional poke they sent me the right one. I am glad I purchased this backpack.

I have not really noticed the difference between it and my old smaller laptop when carrying it around. I have one of those padded laptop bags for it and it is much lighter than my pack full of books for school most days.

I just bought it to test it out (wasn't sure if Amazon had an older model of the bag) - it will NOT fit any laptop that is thicker than 2" (depth, according to the picture in the description). If at ANY point the laptop is thicker than 2", it will not fit. There is no leeway or give AT ALL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!Check out the Timbuktu website for more details............... Filing a report with Amazon on this, also.

The physical, outside lengths of 15.6 laptops differ depending on manufacturer, if the screen a 16:9 "letterbox" or not, if the screen is HD/1080p or not, etc. I have an HP DV6T laptop that has a 15.6 1080p screen. It has a wider, letter box shape like many new laptops come with now a days. I bought this bag, but my laptop was too tall for the computer compartment. See the pics I posted in the customer pictures area. With my laptop closed, using a tape measure edge to edge it's a tiny bit under 15 inches. When put inside the Swissgear, my laptop upper corners came right up against the inside zipper edges. Also my laptop was a bit too tall for the way they constructed the velcro elastic closure latch (it couldn't properly stretch over and around my laptop). In my opinion, if your closed laptop outer dimensions is no more than 13 or 14 inches, then the laptop compartment on this bag should be okay. But at 15 inches (like mine), then it's no good. I wound up returning mine. As fyi, just as a comparison my company bought me the Swissgear "Legacy" computer backpack which is also marketed for 15.6 screen computers. I've been using it for a couple of years for my job Lenovo laptop. My home laptop (which is the HP dv6t) fits perfectly in the Legacy computer compartment, just making it to the tippy top and not rubbing up against the zipper edges. The compartment padded wall on the Legacy is far higher and deeper than the one you're considering. But the Legacy bag is also about double the price

In the smaller section of the bag, there is a "sleeve pocket area" that would fit either of those devices, but it's not made for them and it's not padded. When I put my iPad mini in that slot it moves around a bit. I usually put my iPad mini in the main compartment in the padded laptop area to protect it more.

Thanks for your reply, but I already purchased the emotion edge.. I really like the edge performance wise, but found that it offered little room for extra gear storage. Good for day trips or fishing though.. I also purchased an emotion comet 110, listed at around a foot longer it really seems allot bigger compared to the edge, the hull shape of the comet (flat on the bottom) also allows for ample storage for overnight outings...Thanks again for your input .

Yes. It is at least as thick as the padding on the last case I had, Inland brand. The actual laptop pocket is the only one they don't show a picture of and I was worried about that too. It's fine so far.

There doesn't seem to be any difference. I own this bag though, and you can't get a better bag in the price range.

I don't use the shoulder strap that came with the bag because it broke after carrying it one week with only the laptop enclosed. I'm using a dell shoulder strap from another bag. Did not want to deal with the hassle of a return just for the strap. I really like the bag.

I've had this laptop bag for about 2 years. Wife got it for me, and it's worked great. I travel for work, and tend to take this bag with me rather than my standard laptop bag, due to the ability to stuff a lot in there and still be able to easily pass through security. Build quality (for me) has been great. I don't use it daily, but for standard usage it should last a while.

I honestly don't know, Kayleen. My husband was using it for an i-pad, but the clasp on the strap wouldn't stay together, so the bag would drop off of his shoulder. I can't, in good conscience, recommend this bag.

The bag is roomy enough to hold a small laptop however it would offer the laptop virtually no protection since there is no sleeve and the material on the bag is designed to be lightweight and thin. Also the bag will pull on your back a significant amount since it's not designed to carry a heavy load. The straps feel like they are great quality so I don't think they would rip or anything like that but it may not be comfortable to carry for long distances. I don't think this is a great bag for a laptop as it is not designed for one but could it carry a laptop probably, could it carry a laptop comfortably and safely probably not.
