Don't worry: the compression straps snug everything down very well. I would put the laptop in a sleeve if I were anxious about scratches from other gear. The main compartment is divided and has a neoprene backpad for hard edges. My 13-inch Macbook fits fine.

it looks nice, but it's no Treo. If I'm switching out my 700p, I want something with GPS, a 2+MP camera and no loss of all the things I need. Once I got a qwerty keyboard, that was it- I can't go back!

wow, Daniel87! Nice post. Lots to consider. I have a Treo 700p, up from the 650. It's buggy, sure- Palm released it way too early and let us do the QC testing! But, I love: having an all in one device. The camera's good enough, the mp3 amd video player is great, the PIM/calendar/etc is plenty for me and with a 3600 M battery, I can get through a full day. I will say this: Palm is going to lose a very good customer if they don't start updating their gear. Their latest phones have been LESS powerful, LESS capable- why would I want that??? I'm an adult! I make good money, I want a real phone! My next phone will have the real QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen, a battery that lasts 2-3 days with moderate use, faster Internet and built-in GPS. Wifi would be great; as would a 2+ MP camera. If it costs a ton, it costs a ton. I can afford an iPhone, but I'd rather have a Treo that satisfies my needs. Treo, are you listening?
