EVERKI 32L Atlas Business Laptop Backpack Adjustable Compartment for Work Travel-Friendly Business Office Backpack for Men Women College

WOW! This is an absolutely FANTASTIC bag. I had never heard of Everki before, and certainly not the Atlas backpack. However, on a recent flight (as a traveling consultant, planes are my second home), I happened to be standing behind a guy with an Everki pack. As a long-time Arcteryx fan -- smart, bomb-proof packs with great styling -- I admired the pack this gent was wearing as it looked just as solid as my beloved Arcteryx Blade 24. Fast forward a few months, and I find myself in a situation where I need to commute with two separate laptops. As much as I love the Arcteryx Blade, it just wasn't big enough to accommodate two laptops and all of the sundry gear that goes with them. So, I did some quick searches out on the interwebs for a purpose-built, multi-computer bag, and Everki kept coming up, and with high ratings. So, with some fresh travel coming up, I decided that now was the time to take the plunge and give the Atlas a try. I just received the bag a couple of days ago. I had high expectations of the Everki (having seen one in the wild before), but I was absolutely blown away by the build quality of the Atlas. This thing is industrial and built to take a beating. You can just feel the quality on this thing. Top quality materials are used in its construction, and there is heavy use of Cordura, parachute material, rivets, and heavy stitching. The zippers are large -- kind of similar to the oversized zippers used on Ogio bags -- and they open and close without a hint of snagging. Like my beloved Arcteryx, I wasn't able to find a single loose stitch or fray, and the attention to detail, fit, and finish is obvious from the moment you heft it. I say that because this is not a light bag. It is designed to carry a lot of equipment, and to do so safely. But the real surprise was just how well laid-out this bag is with a simply ridiculous amount of pockets and storage. I was able to fit both the 15" MacBook Pro and my Dell 15", along with two satchels, each with power bricks, cords, etc., AS WELL AS my Epson projector AND two O'Reilly reference books. And I still had room for extra power strips, international power converter, and even my sunglasses case. And there is extra room to spare. I am a huge fan of minimalist solutions, which is why the Arcteryx appealed so much to me. And, despite the crazy amount of pockets and storage space in the Atlas, it is so well designed that all of it doesn't seem excessive, and it still has a general feeling of minimalism and still maintains a reasonably small profile when all zipped up. I spend a great deal of time and perform a great deal of research on gear that I purchase as I like to make the purchase only once. I buy only the highest quality gear that I can afford, regardless of the price, and I have very high expectations for products that I've purchased. I can say unequivocally that the Everki Atlas has far exceed my expectations in all regards. It is with bittersweet feelings that I relinquish my Arcteryx Blade 24 to my daughter, who does quite a bit of business travel, too, and I plan on staying the Everki course from this point forward, as long as they continue to deliver top quality products such as this. Absolutely five stars! *** 2nd Trip Update *** So, I've taken this bag on two trips now and have a much better understanding of how well it works with my "office in a bag" concept, including working with the airlines. The bag is absolutely the perfect bag for traveling with two laptops. Plenty of storage space, very well organized and sorted, and just plain easy to use. One thing I really appreciated about the bag on these trips were the very wide and well-designed shoulder straps. I'm guessing that my bag comes in at over 20 lbs, and I found the wide straps to be completely comfortable and perfectly positioned and designed. I also appreciate that the bag is designed to stand on its own, which makes loading and unloading very easy. I remain so very thrilled with this purchase. Also, absolutely no problems with the bag as of this time -- no sticking zippers, no unraveling threads or stitches, or anything of the sort. I think I've finally found, "The One". I'll give a six-month review, just to provide some insight into how the bag wears over the long-run. Reiterate: 5-stars, well earned. Read more

March 2022 Update. This is one of my best purchases ever! Everki stands behind its products, honors its lifetime guarantee faithfully. Five years after my first replacement, and eight years after my original purchase, Everki just replaced my pack. This terrific pack is my home office, my travel office, my vacation office, my everyday bag. It zooms through airports, stores everything, is comfortable to wear, and is tough as nails. It’s truly a lifetime purchase. I could not be more pleased. October 2017 Update: Everki's warranty and customer support are simply fabulous. A small flaw in my bag, barely noticeable at first, slowly grew into a visible fabric tear in my Everki Atlas. After three years of hard use, I finally sent a picture of the tear to Everki who responded immediately, and who have just replaced the entire bag. Everki stands behind its products in a way far beyond what we expect. Their lifetime warranty is, indeed, a lifetime warranty. Impressed and delighted I am. [original 2014 review - still true] What a well made, handy, superbly designed backpack. I am delighted. This pack holds my laptop, my tablet, a bunch of chargers and cables, office files about 2 inches thick, pencils and pens, sunglasses (and more), basic personal stuff like keys, wallet, ID card, hair brush. And more. I have moved from a (wonderful, rolling) briefcase to this because of my travel. I can now run with several day's worth of files and my entire portable office, take it on a plane, put on the car seat next to me, carry it by the handle, put it over a shoulder, carry as a back pack, or set it on the table. It's easy to get stuff out of on a plane or train. I haven't figured out uses for all of the pockets, yet. But there's still time. Read more

The Everki Atlas is quite a nice backpack for traveling. I just recently took it on my first trip across the state. The nylon material is relatively heavy and feels durable enough to hold up over time. I really like the larger zippers which feel almost over built. The backpack has quite a number of compartments, maybe too many in my personal opinion. It still serves me well for my use-case. I purchased it specifically to hold my Alienware M15 R4, which it holds just fine. The laptop compartment is very adjustable and will fit a variety of laptops I would imagine. It's padded all around the laptop compartment as well which is great, it's something I was looking for. It does not protect the corners of the laptop very well unfortunately. I was hard pressed to find a bag which does this really well. The backpack also has plenty of space for my laptop charger brick, external mouse, mousepad, headphones, headphone wireless dongle and headphone cables. In fact there is quite a bit of extra space and I'm guessing I could fit my iPad and several other smaller items in there at the same time. It's not what I would personally call a cheap backpack but I feel like you will most likely get what you pay for to a large extent with backpacks and bags. This backpack definitely feels like a quality product. If you've got the cash it's worth considering. I have yet to see how it holds up over a long period, I'm hoping for the best and by the looks of it I think It'll be fine. I'm not usually that rough with my stuff though. I'd recommend the Everki Atlas Read more
