Guide Review - Echo Laptop Bag
The laptop bags that come from Lexie Barnes are always conversation starters and not just because of their exterior design - they also have plenty of room for lots of gear and keep your laptop well protected.
The Echo I received for review was the Diablo print. Whenever I review laptop bags, the first feature I want to explore is how much storage space is available. I'm a pack-rat and like to carry lots of little odds and ends with me and my laptop.
The Echo while looking small and sleek doesn't disappoint. I found plenty of space for all my things and even a few hidden storage places. You can keep your keys or a cell phone quite secure and not worry about them.
Another test I like to do is load up the laptop bag with as many books as I can to see how the shoulder and hand grips feel with a really heavy load. This way even though I reviewed the smallest size bag I know that even for the larger bags they can handle a larger laptop's weight. The adjustable shoulder strap has a nice wide area which sits nicely and doesn't shift. The hand grips are very comfortable and I do like that they aren't hard molded plastic.
I also like that the Echo is definitely a lady's bag and not just one trying to look "girly".
The exterior is quite water resistant and unless you get caught in a long, hard downpour of rain; you won't have to worry that your laptop will get wet.
The Echo is a well designed laptop bag that provides great protection and the ability to carry all your necessary gear.
