The bag zips three quarters of the way around, so you don't have to take your computer out of the bag to use it. Just set it on the table and unzip. The interior has a bunch of little pockets to support your organization -- a CD pocket, a business card pocket (closes with velcro so your cards don't fall out), a pen pocket, even a lipstick pocket, and a larger pocket for bigger things. Plus a zippered pocket on the outside. It's like finding yourself in pocket-heaven!
