As a frequent business traveller I was looking for a replacement for my laptop backpack which has worn out after 500K+ miles of airports and business trips. After much searching I settled on the Ogio Metro which has many positive features but one signficant drawback…
Good
- I like the idea of the separate pocket for the laptop, nothing else… I access this the most.
- The front pocket subdivided for accessories is great and very practical.
- The side pockets for mouse, jump drives, transformers are also well thought out.
- The bag is comfortable on one’s back as the straps are wide.
- The MP3 and smaller accessories pockets at the top are EXCELLENT. Brilliant idea as they are very accessible.
Improvement Opportunities
- The main compartment is VERY big, but NOT subdivided. This alone makes the bag quite impractical. Despite all the electronic files one can not avoid having to carry papers/binders and this pocket is not subdivided effectively to hold papers in place. There is very small sleeve that is hard to access and will not hold more than about 20 sheets in their folders. Which such a big pocket a little subdivision would make it much more practical.
- Less of a nuisance is the fact that the handle is of soft neoprene-like material as opposed to harder rubberized material. Easier on the hand, but does not seem that it would last as long.
Overall I am satisfied with the construction quality. It was received quickly from Amazon so overall good shopping experience.

I’m a frequent road warrior with “unique” needs in stuff transportation – my friends refer to my car as “the place things go to die” because I pretty much trash anything I come in contact with. I have worn out more bags in my day than I ever thought possible, and if anything lasts me more than a week I’m fairly pleased with it.
I got an Ogio Metro backpack from my workplace as part of an attendance incentive, and didn’t think too much of it. Its not a bag I would have bought myself (I usually buy snowboarder backpacks due to the more rugged construction) but I’d just worn out my messenger bag so I started using this one. I have never been more pleased with a laptop bag in my entire life.
The main laptop pocket works perfect for my dell inspiron, and the inside pocket (the file pouch or whatever) fits my macbook pro like a snug glove (yes, both at once) while leaving the majority of the open section empty and ready for my stuff. A few water bottles, couple of notebooks (I use the thin 1″ ones for most things, athough it’d probably hold 2-3 of the “normal” sized ones), some other gear, a couple paperbacks and some peripherals fit easily, there’s a couple waterproof pockets with headphone holes for my iPod and would fit a small CD-walkman if I had one, and with my blood sugar issues I LOVE the smaller side pouches because they’re perfect for a couple candy bars in case I have a sugar attack. Digital camera goes in another pocket for quick access, with its usb cable and some spare batteries in another.
Padded ribbing and neopropene (sp?) helps the comfort, along with some webbed padding in the shoulder straps. Weight distribution is good, and it survives getting thrown around in and out of my car and never has a problem. The hand grip on the top (by which I frequently drag the bag) is both comfortable and integrated into the design rather than being sewn on as an afterthought so is much more durable than most grips.
Although I’d never have bought this bag to begin with (I’d never even HEARD of Ogio) I would buy another without hesitation and suggest it to anyone who needs a new bag even if they don’t need it for an actual laptop.

This is the best backpack I have ever had, and I go through at least three a year. It is comfortable, spacious, looks awesome (modern but serious) and it is designed rather than just put together. All the pockets are the perfact size and in the perfect space. The zippers are strong, but easy to open and the material is pure quality. I’m not buying any other, I’ll just keep getting this one as long as they make it. Maybe my next one will be the green one or the “Punk” edition – check them out, they all look great.
