I had to come back here and report- a client was carrying the PDV and he had his MacAir, a stack load of docs and his ipad in it- I was actually jealous. I complimented him on it and he went on a 5 min rant about why he chose it- he loved the look, amount it could carry, and the all purpose nature of it. I couldn't agree more!
Honestly, if my DBF needed a bag, I'd get him the PDV.
Last time I visited my LV store, I took a closer look at the PDV GM. This bag is very big! Its 2 cm larger in both lenght and hight than my Icare. It's quite stiff, and it's almost like a small suitcase. If you don't carry a 15' laptop everyday, I would say this bag is too big.
