Timbuk2 282-4-2000 Reviews
Timbuk2 282-4-2000 Review by Sam Glover (Minneapolis, MN USA)
I love bags, and particularly Timbuk2 bags. My wife and I have four between us, and they get a lot of of use, as everything from diaper bags to briefcases. Recently, I bought a Q laptop backpack because heavy shoulder bags were making me sore and uncomfortable, and the Arc'teryx Blade 15 that I tried didn't work (see my review of that bag for why).
The size and design of the Q are great. It even passes decently as a briefcase, which is nice for a lawyer and frequent presenter.
The problem is in the laptop compartment. As you can see in the picture I uploaded, the pad that is supposed to cushion the computer slides out of the way. It's easy to see why. Balancing a cube on a cylinder is inherently unstable, like logrolling. The pad is too stiff to do anything but slide out of the way. The unfortunate result is an uncomfortable ridge across my lower back, and the bag fails at the main thing it is supposed to do: protect my laptop.
I contacted Timbuk2 about the problem, and they said they know about the problem, but don't have a revised backpack available. They sent a couple of strap pads with the idea that I could shove them in there and make it work. So far, they are just making the problem worse.
While I love this bag, the fact that it fails at its primary purpose is a huge disappointment, and nearly a dealbreaker. I'm not sending it back; instead, I'm learning to constantly readjust my laptop. However, I am hoping Timbuk2 will fix the laptop pad problem and exchange my bag for the fixed version.

I love my Q ... but the material on the straps and the back panel is ruining my clothes -- it seems that no matter what fabric I am wearing, the Q is too abrasive and my clothes start to pill.

I really like this bag. I like the computer cord pocket at the bottom. The bag is a great size for me, not big but it easily fits my computer, a file, a book and few daily items. E-bags said that my Toshiba Satellite would not fit in it but it does, as does my old 17" computer. The only thing I don't like is that the front pocket seems to open the wrong way to get into it while accessing the computer pocket. Otherwise it is perfect for day to day.
