This is a nicely designed backpack style laptop bag which also provides all kinds of space for other items. As stated in the description: ‘Padded Laptop Compartment for 15.6–16” computers’. This is clearly accurate as while I can slip my 17” laptop into the egg crate styled padded compartment, I can’t zip the backpack closed. I can, however, place it in the main compartment and zip the backpack shut. Granted, not as much protection potentially but with care that will work. One note of warning however, my laptop is quite thin so an older thicker 17” laptop likely wouldn’t fit and allow the backpack to be zipped shut. I am not entirely sure why they make a TSA-compliant claim insofar as the backpack has no locking feature. As a result, it is by definition neither compliant nor on-compliant; compliance only refers to any lock being able to be opened by TSA when it is not being used as a piece of carry-on luggage. And I don’t know anyone that would check a backpack, locked or not, if it contained a laptop or tablet. But, hey, that’s me. The backpack has 5 zip pockets ranging in size for 16” laptops, to pencils/pens (with 3 slots specifically designed for them inside) on the front, one (1) on the back and two open mesh pockets for water bottles, even a 48-ounce NALGENE® bottle will fit snugly. This is versatile and capacious. There are two pull-down adjustment straps to fit the backpack to your back without excess movement and these have quick release clips so you don’t have to readjust things every time you remove the backpack. They did a good design job and the construction seems equally well done. Clearly, time and loads will determine durability, but first impressions are excellent. Read more
This was supposed to be a reserve backpack, but my tech husband, a college computer teacher, called dibs and uses it whenever his laptop briefcase is overkill . The size is modest and manageable; this is more of a daypack, good for a walk around the park or around town, easy to stash in the car for quick grab-and-go errands or visits with friends. And school-aged kids won't be breaking their backs either! The laptop compartment deserves clarification, since it's a point of contention in other reviews. The padded laptop pocket sits against the wearer's back and doesn't extend all the way to the bottom of the bag. This means your laptop is protected and won't bash against the ground when you set the bag down. Some reviewers seem to be putting their laptops in the main compartment instead of in this dedicated padded section, which would explain their concerns, but watch some of the product videos if this is a concern. Overall, this backpack is surprisingly well designed for a lightweight daypack. The carry loop at the top, the side mesh pockets with separate click straps above them to secure an umbrella or water bottle, the bright but unobtrusive color -- all welcome features. Some backpacks are overambitious and too large for their structural capacity, but this one doesn't go for "bigger is better." Instead, it offers functional design in a smaller footprint. Altogether quite pleased. Read more
I’ve been using this backpack for a few weeks, and it’s mostly great. This backpack easily fits my laptop, books, and a water bottle, and the multiple pockets help keep everything organized. The zippers work smoothly, and the material feels durable and water-resistant. My only concern is the laptop padding—while it’s fine for carrying around, the base especially feels a bit thin, so if the backpack accidentally falls on a hard surface, I worry it wouldn’t protect the laptop as well as I’d like. Overall, it’s a comfortable, practical backpack for daily use, but the laptop compartment could use a little extra padding for added peace of mind. Read more
