I bought one of these laptop bags for my 12" Powerbook. There are 2 compartments. One holds the laptop. The other compartment has a couple of small pockets sewn in it. I can the full length 2 piece power cord, foreign plug adapters, a mouse, batteries, some peripheral devices, a ZOOM Digital recorder, memory cards, and a small notebook and pens. It zips up neatly. It has a good shoulder strap, leather handles and the padded exterior gives extra protection to the computer with a minimum of bulk. It's well assembled with great stitching and goood construction. It's well designed. I like traveling with this bag.
