hi Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:07
I want to look at computer bags
0:08
specifically I want to look at the
0:10
water-filled designs cargo laptop bag
0:13
and this is actually a redesign of their
0:16
original bag they've I mean this company
0:18
has been around for a super long time
0:19
and this is the redesigned new
0:22
second-generation deluxe premium cargo
0:24
laptop bag with actual premium leather
0:28
on it and ballistic nylon it's a really
0:32
cool bag there's a lot to really like
0:34
here so let's start with the zippers the
0:37
zippers are actually completely
0:38
waterproof it's really a pretty cool
0:41
zipper so when you close this thing you
0:43
can be in a downpour and all your gear
0:45
inside is safe on the inside you have
0:48
the usual padded storage spaces this is
0:52
a Dell XPS 12 and excuse me it's tons of
0:56
space for it in front there's a second
0:59
padded area for your tablet and plenty
1:03
of plenty of space in there for cables
1:05
and headphones and all sorts of stuff
1:07
and on the front they have what they're
1:10
very proud of this is what they call the
1:11
paragliding buckle this is a pretty
1:13
fancy buckle so you push it and when you
1:16
close it up again listen you get a nice
1:19
click out of it so really strong
1:22
everything they've done here is super
1:24
strong and reliable and you open it up
1:26
and here's the weird thing here's the
1:27
thing I can't quite get over is that I
1:30
expect this to open up and have a nice
1:33
big storage compartment that's protected
1:35
by the flap but it's almost like the
1:37
flap is just for decoration because
1:39
there's just this one half circle space
1:41
and it's useful but it just seems like
1:44
it's kind of weird for them to have this
1:47
huge flap that's one entire side and
1:50
then just this little compartment inside
1:52
of it so I really want to like this bag
1:55
I really like water-filled I really like
1:57
all the stuff that s FSF bags has but at
2:03
the same time I don't know the whole
2:05
flap thing it just kind of throws me a
2:07
little bit in terms of some of the other
2:09
bags I've looked at but still so much
2:12
attention to detail they got the
2:14
golde fabric so it's easier to see
2:15
what's going inside they have this
2:18
buckle on the side for adjusting the
2:19
shoulder strap that's just crazy strong
2:22
it's just like there's a really great
2:23
design and there's a lot to like about
2:26
this although when I tell you the price
2:29
tag you might say what but here's the
2:32
thing is the computer bags are generally
2:34
like backpacks or they're like messenger
2:36
bags made out of backpack materials
2:38
right so not a lot of elegance not a lot
2:41
of high-end you know I'm the CEO and
2:43
this is what I now carry this definitely
2:46
with its premium leather look and design
2:48
this definitely screams I'm successful
2:51
I'm rocking it so there's that that's
2:53
something to consider having said that I
2:56
will tell you that this will fit like
2:58
the you know macbook 15-inch a surface
3:01
pro surface book any of those sort of
3:03
things so that you know it's a super
3:05
functional bag very nice-looking and a
3:08
price tag to match it is three hundred
3:10
and forty nine dollars for this computer
3:13
bag so three hundred and forty nine
3:14
dollars is almost more than a lot of
3:17
low-end PC laptops so don't get this and
3:19
then a Chromebook cuz that's a weird
3:21
juxtaposition but you want to learn more
3:24
about it you can check it out at SF bags
3:26
comm this is the water-filled design
3:29
cargo laptop bag and I'm gonna keep
3:31
using it because maybe it'll grow on me
3:33
anyway this is Dave Taylor catch in my
