Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.

Brenthaven MetroLite Backpack

Editors' rating: 4

The good: Fits 15.4-inch laptops, yet keeps a slender profile; red interior makes it easy to find objects inside the bag; thick, breathable padding on back panel; plenty of organizer pockets, including a designated pocket for AC adapter; top handle and wheeled luggage strap; lifetime warranty.

The bad: Slightly expensive; lacks external pockets for a cell phone or water bottle; does not expand to accommodate overstuffing.

The bottom line: With just enough room for a 15.4-inch laptop and a handful of accessories, the slender MetroLite Backpack may be the perfect bag for commuters.
