Perfect for the Acer Aspire One D50 10.1 inch Netbook with the large battery. This is a good bag, with plenty of padding, and storage compartments. I bought it for the Acer One and it's perfect. The larger 7 hour battery makes this model a bit big for a bag any smaller than this.

First of all, I've no idea where the neoprene is. Maybe it's a waterproof coating on the fabric, out of sight; if so, it's overkill as polyurethane is just as effective and cheaper. If that's not it then I have no idea where it is.
There's a plethora of pockets, but as most take space from each other, probably too many. There's a pocket in the cutaway on the front, but if you're older than ten your hand is never going to fit - you might get stuff in, but you'll have a hell of a job getting it out again. It also steals space from the pocket immediately behind it - and vice-versa.
My 10" netbook is a perfect fit - you'd be really pushed for space with a 12" one. There's not a great deal of space for accessories either, as some interior pockets are ludicrously shallow. I've squeezed in a trackball by removing the ball, and the charger, should I feel the need to carry it, should fit in the bottom next to the trackball. That's only possible because it's a very small aftermarket charger - there wouldn't be a prayer of getting the OE unit in.
There is, however, simply no space for my very slim DVD drive - putting it into the only available pocket will see it crushed between the trackball and my netbook when I zip it up, and something is likely to be damaged. Luckily, most of the time there'll be no need to carry it, but if I'm going to be away from home, I would like to be able to carry a small external HDD - not a prayer. Nobody seems to have given more than a few seconds thought to the need for accessories.
Two of the main reasons I've marked it down, though, are the handle and the shoulder strap. If you use the former for any length of time it's such a tight fit that your knuckles will be rubbed raw by the very coarse fabric of the bag, and the latter is simply a strip of webbing, with no shoulder grip - useless, and as it's stitched to the bag, impossible to replace.
Overall, a potentially good product ruined by an obsession with pointless pockets and rubbish handle and strap. Omitting 2 of the pointless external pockets would have created more internal space - if done properly.
Oh, and I suspect the almost equally coarse lining fabric will abrade finish of my netbook if it's in there for extended periods while travelling, unless I wrap it in something much softer.

I bought this to keep my little Acer 2930 12.1" laptop safe, since it's too small for most laptop bags and slides about inside. Well I can safely say that's not the case with the Belkin!
While it does fit into the bag, it's quite a squeeze and it doesn't really leave much room for anything else. For instance, if I put anything in the outer pockets, the zips don't enjoy closing. The laptop itself is smaller than the maximum dimensions Amazon list for compatible laptops, so I expected the bag to have a little more room than it does.
Also, the pocket on the front is a bit pointless... It covers the whole front of the bag, but only has a very small zip to access it through. You can put lots of small, slim items, like travel cards in it and then spend hours searching around with your fingertips clutching for them while people tut behind you in a queue... It's a fun game to play!
I would recommend this to anyone who has a laptop or net book that is SMALLER than mine, or anyone who doesn't want to carry anything else with it - which is what I do now. Luckily, the Acer has a good enough battery that I don't need to take the charger with me on a daily basis.
On the plus side, it is dead small and will not get in the way on the tube or get kicked down a busy train by herds of commuters and even if it does, it's padded enough that your laptop or net book should survive the tumble. Oh and it doesn't cost a bomb, which is always a bonus!

Great little bag
Description is not very good at saying what size laptop it would take. I was worried it would fit my Lenovo X121e (11.6") with extended battery, yet it fits fine. Read more
