0:10
detail here and I'm looking at the STM
0:13
myth laptop brief that's this guy and
0:16
it's pretty darn nice let's start with
0:19
the outside okay so first off it has a
0:22
shoulder strap if you want a shoulder
0:24
strap you are able to use that I
0:26
actually prefer holding it like this and
0:28
this thing has so many darn pockets it's
0:31
really like stupidly well-designed I
0:33
mean what the heck these guys this is
0:35
all they do and they did a great job so
0:37
let's talk about the technology
0:39
first off let's find out where the
0:42
computer is the computer sits in here
0:45
and you can't really tell but this is a
0:47
fleece lined pocket and it has what they
0:51
call sling tech TM and the idea is that
0:55
if you could feel the bottom of the
0:57
computers actually right about here so
1:00
it's not at the bottom so if I drop my
1:03
bag there's actually an inch or so of
1:05
padding actually on all sides to make
1:09
sure that my computer is nicely nestled
1:12
and safe and doesn't get hurt that's
1:14
pretty important a lot of computer bags
1:16
the computer itself ends up sitting on
1:19
the very bottom which means if you even
1:21
just put it down a little bit
1:22
aggressively then you're putting a lot
1:24
of impact on your computer sling tech
1:26
for the win now let's pull my computer
1:29
out it's a 15 inch and it fits
1:31
beautifully let me just put it down okay
1:36
so now we have an empty bag it's a lot
1:39
lighter in fact the whole bag is super
1:41
light but let's talk about what's going
1:44
on here so first off they have this
1:46
strap which you put over the handle of
1:49
your suitcase or when you're traveling
1:50
through the airport super handy and then
1:53
they have an outside pocket which is
1:54
plenty big enough for your book or
1:56
magazine or plane ticket or we're
1:59
talking about school so this would be
2:01
plenty big enough for a snack or for
2:03
those notes that you want to hand out to
2:05
your friends cuz you're doing a party
2:07
right on now this is the main computer
2:12
compartment and as you can see it is
2:14
very spacious and it has this extra
2:17
pocket so this is enough space for your
2:20
15-inch laptop on the 15 inch version
2:23
and a tablet and the whole thing is
2:25
padded but what I want you to also
2:27
notice is notice that hole that is part
2:31
of their cable ready channeling system
2:34
and it's really slick because this is a
2:36
multi compartment briefcase or brief it
2:41
means that as you can see you can
2:45
actually put cables from one compartment
2:47
to another why would you do that
2:49
well maybe you put your phone in here
2:52
with your computer and then you have a
2:54
charging cable and the actual external
2:57
battery you put in this compartment and
3:00
this compartment again has lots of
3:03
pockets you can see pretty well in there
3:05
and that's not enough compartments hold
3:08
on there's another one on this side that
3:11
you unzip without having to open
3:12
everything else and you have even more
3:16
pockets and holders and containers and
3:18
you even have another zip container in
3:20
there and that is the perfect place to
3:22
put your earbuds or air pods or whatever
3:25
it is that would also be a good place to
3:26
put your smartphone if you wanted to but
3:28
all of these things I mean there's so
3:30
many compartments I really like
3:32
compartments because I really like being
3:34
able to organize my stuff
3:35
go figure right now the zippers
3:38
themselves are also pretty cool here's a
3:40
close-up and they're using what they
3:42
call a reverse coil zipper and what it
3:45
does is it gives you a lot more weather
3:47
resistance in fact this whole unit has a
3:50
water repellent let me get it right AC 6
3:54
DWR coating a sounds super tech right
3:59
what it means is if you could feel this
4:02
in your hands as I can in mine obviously
4:04
is if you're carrying this and you go
4:06
through a rainstorm or if your actual
4:08
fire alarm goes off and the sprinklers
4:10
start hopefully that's not gonna happen
4:12
then you're in good shape this is not
4:14
gonna have any issues and it's gonna
4:15
protect everything you have inside with
4:18
the possible exception of this one
4:20
pocket that doesn't actually have a
4:22
ceiling on top but otherwise everything
4:24
has these same
4:26
really swanky zippers somewhere in here
4:28
and you know you zip this whole thing up
4:32
and you are good to go
4:34
now the handles a little funky it's a
4:36
TPU coated handle so it's kind of a
4:39
plasticy handle but it's actually
4:41
riveted on to this case so it's not
4:44
going anywhere which is nice because
4:46
I've had a lot of cases where the handle
4:48
ends up gradually starting to tear or it
4:51
comes off on one side and then you're
4:53
like oh great now I have nothing to
4:55
really talk about it you can't use it I
4:57
have to replace it this will not have
4:59
that problem so let's see the material
5:01
is a hundred percent polyester but
5:03
honestly particularly the black part
5:05
feels like leather I like that it's not
5:08
leather but I like that it feels like
5:10
leather so it looks pretty pretty darn
5:13
nice this is something that's pretty
5:15
upscale for a high school and pretty
5:17
reasonable for a college and you could
5:19
definitely carry this to a meeting or a
5:20
conference and have everything organized
5:22
nice and neat and of course with your
5:24
shoulder strap which I threw somewhere
5:26
down there then you could also just
5:28
swing it over your shoulder and now you
5:30
got your hands-free very nice only thing
5:33
left to talk about is the price but wait
5:35
before we get to the price go ahead and
5:37
click on that subscribe button on the
5:38
lower right I appreciate when you
5:40
subscribe to my channel and you get
5:42
access to all of my videos how cool is
5:45
that thank you now the STM if laptop
5:49
brief comes in granite black which is
5:52
this or slate blue which is also really
5:55
nice and they are 7995 in either the 13
6:00
inch or 15 inch version I would probably
6:02
always go for the 15 inch version
6:04
because it just gives you a little bit
6:06
more space in the interior but if you
6:08
have a 13 inch device and that's where
6:10
you are then that's going to be a little
6:12
bit more snug if you get the right size
6:14
for it so you choose either way you can
6:16
find out about it it's 7995 at
6:19
amazon.com or STM goods comm so this is
6:23
Dave Taylor I need to get my computer
6:26
back in my bag before this particular
6:28
hallway is
6:30
full of students which means I'll catch
6:31
