 One of the last Laptop Bags you will ever buy! Sep 01, 2011
By Bay Area Videographer
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.
T-Pass Feature is Great Feb 09, 2012
By The Snake
I have had this bag for about a year and it is the best laptop bag I ever had, including a couple of older Tumi's. I decided to go for a T-Pass bag after witnessing a colleague accidentally drop his laptop, while taking it out of his bag at the airport security. Now I just unzip one zipper and just place it through the TSA scanners.
Aside from T-Pass, I also like the narrow front pocket, which I think was originally designed to hold a folding umbrella. I use it to hold a small bottle of water (which the airport concessionaires sell for a ridiculous $3).
My last Tumi laptop bag was the wheeled medium-size 26102. So the only thing I miss from the older Tumi bag was the convenience of the wheels. If Tumi could somehow create a T-Pass laptop case with wheels, that would be the ultimate computer bag for me.

Long lasting, durable Nov 01, 2011
By D. Weeks

I have owned this bag for over 10 years and it is still performing well. The ballistic nylon holds up better than any other bag I have owned. Although more expensive, this bag is certainly worth the price. Before this bag, I seemed to go through one every year or two because straps would break, zippers would falter, or holes would appear -- leather bags being the worst of them all. Being black, this bag matches everything and because of the nylon you never see scuffs or scratches. Highly recommended if you want to buy a bag once and not think about getting a new one for 10+ years. Because it is soft, I have also found it flexible enough to carry and pack the things I needed.
I would not recommend the larger expandable bag from my experience, as you could likely pack too much in it and make the bag uncomfortable (weight perspective to carry)...unless for some reason you like carrying a really heavy bag with you.

 Tumi T-pass Medium Capacity Brief 26145DH Mar 11, 2012
By M. Gray
"Consumer"
I have had a number of Tumi bags, and don't like this one at all.
The T-pass 'feature' consumes/wastes a ridiculous amount of storage spage, and this medium-sized bag needs that space.
The little pockets in the front take away a lot of storage space by being little and chopping up the area in the front of the bag. That wouldn't be so bad if the only other larger space could be closed. Alas, the space that they describe as great for newspapers is actually a larger, deeper space that could be used for other items - if it weren't a gaping, open space.
Also, the shoulder strap is narrow and uncomfortable. I replaced mine with one off one of my old Tumi bags. Also, the clips where the shoulder strap attached is now plastic, which I guess they get away with now that no longer offer lifetime warranties. With the heavy use my bags see, I'm not expecting the clips to hold up.
All in all, disappointing for a Tumi product.
