The Smart Alec Backpack: Q&A

[reina]

17" mac & iLap

Both the 17" macbook pro and 17" widescreen iLap fit in the Smart Alec, along with power cords, etc. The iLap doesn't interfere with the water bottle pocket, either - it can still hold a 20 oz. Swiss Gear bottle

Thanks, Tim, and you're welcome!! Let me know how it works for you.

Another question. I obviously should have looked harder at a Freudian Slip before, because now I find myself really wanting one, particularly for travel with the Smart Alec. Which leads to my question: Will a Vertical Freudian Slip fit well into the Smart Alec along with a size 6 Vertical Brain Cell? If so, how much room will the combination leave in the Smart Alec's main compartment?

Thanks,
Tim

Yes: the Vertical Freudian Slip will fit well with the Size 6 Vertical Brain Cell in the main compartment of the Smart Alec. It's difficult to describe exactly how much room would be leftover -- I'd say enough for a couple of big books and a jacket.

Thanks, Darcy! I'll get me a Freudian Slip when the budget permits.

Best,

I'd love to see a picture of the Smart Alec with the new solar pattern inside; any idea when we might see any on the website?

[Darcy]

Maybe today! We just received one from our factory to photograph.

yay!! looking forward to seeing it!

Is the Smart Alec shipping? The web page still states it's in pre-order and shipping in mid February.

I'd also love to see new pictures. Any chance you'll produce a black and grape/plum Smart Alec again?

The Smart Alec has just now - as of five minutes ago - been listed as back in-stock! New pictures of the Steel/Solar are on the blog today:

Sorry - we won't have Grape again.

Steel / Solar looks very nice. The bright color should help with the narrow mouth of the bag hiding the bottom contents.
