The Tumi Alpha T-Pass Medium Laptop Brief met or exceeded all of my admittedly high standards.
In looking at the bag, I am shocked how much I am able to fit comfortably within the bag. My daily contents are: 15″ MacBook Pro, Kindle, iPad/iPhone, external hard drive, Bose QC15’s with carrying case, newspaper, magazine, Netflix DVDs, pack of gum, passport, and all applicable chargers.
I travel between 20-30 round trip flights per year. This bag is specifically engineered for a business commuter. In addition to holding up to every stress test imaginable, this Tumi is comfortable to carry, easy to mount to your suitcase, fits underneath an economy class seat and it’s very classy looking.
Perhaps the best feature is the T-Pass. Put your laptop in the padded laptop pocket when you pack, when you head through security simply unzip one zipper and put your bag through the x-ray machine. No hassle when flying domestically. On international legs, I’ve been asked to remove my laptop about 75% of the time.
A perfect 5 out of 5 stars: I’m not sure if Tumi is even able to improve this incredible product. Have recommended it to many of my colleagues, several of whom have said when their existing bags run their course they will upgrade to Tumi.

This review is from: Tumi Alpha 2 T-Pass and Reg Expandable Laptop Brief, Black, One Size (Apparel)
I travel weekly for work and was looking for a bag that lasted and could take the beating of weekly travel. I bought this bag and used it for a week before I returned it. This bag is very well made, but also has some cons which made me return it:
Pros: Very well made, superior quality Looks very nice, zippers open close very smoothly
Cons: This bag is heavy by itself! I just could not imagine myself carrying such a heavy bag every week with me. The space organization was not the best. I felt like my stuff(chargers, cables etc.) were just lying around. You cannot put them in the front pockets as they are fairly small. Overall, the bag seemed too bulky.
Bottomline – If you are looking for a bulky bag OR have a lot of stuff to fit AND are ok with carrying a heavy bag, go for it! This bag is very well made and looks very professional and stylish. Unfortunately, it did not meet my requirement due to the cons I listed above.
