Amazon Basics Padded Laptop Backpack with Water Bottle Pockets, Travel Work Bag with Compartments, Fits Up to 17-Inch Laptops, Black

This book bag is awesome. It's made of fine material and it's extremely sturdy. There are a lot of compartments, which may seem overwhelming at first, but once you start using the backpack more regularly, you'll be able to make sense of what to put where. You would think this back pack would cost as much as other name brand back packs considering its outstanding quality, but for 30$ this is an absolute steal. Northface can run you anywhere from $67 to $100+ on Amazon. For half the price, you can get a backpack that does the same thing and could possibly even be better. I love the colors, the hint of orange really catches my eye since orange is my favorite color. I was fortunate enough to get this for free with my Amazon credit, but I would gladly pay up to 100$ for this bag. That's honestly what it's worth. The drink compartments on the side are clutch and even have a clip that goes around the bottle and holds it in place. It fits nicely on my back without having to be adjusted and feels sturdy and comfortable when walking around. I'm not worried about it hanging too low or looking awkwardly packed (bulging) if I have a lot of stuff inside it. The only thing that I don't like is zipping and unzipping the main compartment - where you'd store your laptop. There's a layer of fabric built into the bookbag that covers this zipper and you need to be careful when zipping and unzipping, otherwise you risk getting the zipper caught if you quickly try to zip it up. However, this is hardly a reason for me to even consider sending the bag back or stop using it. I would rather be cautious anyway when zipping to preserve the bookbag so I'm kind of glad that it has that layer over the zipper. Overall, this bookbag is awesome. I can't be more satisfied. I would recommend it for any one. I'm an elementary school teacher so this is perfect for me. I don't have to carry anything in my hands and can transport my lunch, books, binders, laptop.. anything that I need to take to and from school can fit comfortably in this bag, and there will still be more room for other random things like an umbrella that can stay in there incase of a rainy day. If you're on the fence, just buy this anyway because you will be surprised. You can't find anything better for this price. And hey, if it's not for you, you can always just send it back and get a refund!

Outstanding backpack for the price point. I run an entertainment business, and am lugging gear and materials around town several nights a week. This pack has held up beyond my expectations. It has plenty of room for my laptop, small mixer, microphones, cords & cables, plus assorted odds & ends. Being in Seattle, where it's awfully wet about 8 months out of the year, I can attest that the waterproofing works quite well. Have not had any issues with water getting into the pack, even while walking in heavy rain (I also treat the outside with waterproofing spray, for added protection, and highly recommend doing so). I'm especially pleased with the quality of the material/construction. While it isn't as rugged as my hiking backpack, it's well-made, with decently thick material and good stitching. With other packs I've owned, a common failure was that the "walls" between compartments would tear; no such issues here after more than a year of constant use. Zippers are still just fine, too. A couple of nitpicks: the mesh side pockets could be a bit stouter. One of them tore recently, but it's not a huge deal and is mostly my fault, anyway. Also, this backpack has a great little pocket on one of the straps, which is a perfect place for my pocket knife. Unfortunately for me, I tend to carry a backpack slung over my right shoulder, but the pocket is on the left strap, so getting to my knife while carrying the pack requires putting the pack down. Having a pocket on both straps would be ideal (Do it Amazon! Do it!). It has a charging port, too, which is a nice feature many packs at this price lack. Overall, this backpack works well, looks good (black is a popular color in the PNW), and is pretty darned tough. Great value!

I bought this laptop backpack because I have been spending 3 days of my week in Coffee Shoppe’s while my husband is working. He doesn’t work well at home so each day I have been packing up a cloth grocery bag with snacks, bottled water, my laptop, my kindle ect and going with him to spend the day in different coffee shops around my city. Lugging all my stuff around on the bus in a cloth grocery back was so difficult and I had been looking for a good back pack that wasn’t too expensive, but still good quality and that had plenty of room for all the stuff I need and bring with me. After searching for a while and seeing that even normal Jansport backpacks that aren’t designed to carry laptops were $50 or more I was getting discouraged until I came across this Gem! This Bag carries 2 large laptops with a special area for both, has a holder for my water bottle, several individual pockets for things like my keys, medications, and snacks. It has a built in wallet type area that will fit cell phones, pens, pencils, small notebooks. Plus 2 or 3 outer pockets on the bag itself for smaller items. One of my biggest worries when looking to buy was that the laptop would be slamming against my back while I wore it. But this bag has plenty of cushioning between the back and where the laptop is stored. This bag would work for Students in place of a laptop case, or could easily be used for hikers or campers. It is versatile and has cushioning on the shoulder/arm pads and a handle for comfortable holding and wearing. The material seems strong and put together well. For the price on this product it is so worth it in my opinion. Normal Backpacks with way less storage can go for so much money and I was able to get this for $25.29! My only real disappointment was that there were no options to personalize it to my taste. I didn’t get a color choice like you do with most back packs or laptop cases. This is a black back pack with small areas of orange threads. While Orange is not my favorite it is subtle enough that I was okay with not having an option on color. Overall the bag appears like a normal back pack would, with an affordable price and a variety of pockets and holders on the bag that make up for the lack of color options! I am so pleased with this purchase and so glad I decided to get it!

I bought this backpack for work. Prior to using this to carry my laptop and files, I was using a bag from Duluth--super heavy leather that weighed as much as a small child empty. So that had to go. I read work backpack reviews, believe it or not. And this one was highly recommended because the zippers are strong, there are multiple compartments, and the straps are well-padded. I agree with all of those assessments and would add that there is a strong carrying strap on the top. I detract one star because, like many back packs, this one tips forward. All. The. Time. You can't set it down and expect it to stay upright. Again, kind of like a small child. But I've adjusted my expectations and am really pleased with the four zipper compartments and the ease with which I can now organize and carry everything I need for work. I would also concur with other reviewers that the mesh waterbottle pockets should likely not be used for anything heavy. They won't last long. I have just ignored them; I pack a lunch bag separately and the water goes in there. So yes, this is a great work back pack and the price is hard to beat.

Just received this bag a few days ago and already love it. I am using for a workout bag to take to the gym. The bag material is very durable. Zippers are thick and strong and should last a long time. There are multiple zipper pocket sections so that clean and dirty clothes/towels can be stored. Straps are rugged. You could also use the bag for its original purpose which is a book bag/laptop bag. It would be excellent for school supplies. Provides enough padding to protect your laptop and has a front pocket for keys, pens/pencils and other school supplies. I got it for a great price of $20.99, but just checked and it is now on sale for $19.99. Only downside for me, it only comes in black or I would have bought one for my daughter. Definitely recommend if you need a great book bag at a great price and don't care about name brands.

I travel a lot for business and I used a laptop case to carry my files, receipts, laptop, chargers, etc. As an airline carry-on option, the laptop case was convenient because of its size, but it had one strap, and I was finding that my tendency to put it on my right shoulder over the years was causing my back to go a little out of whack, and switching sides constantly was not the solution I needed. This backpack was discounted a bit for Black Friday, and having seen the quality of AmazonBasics products before, I knew that $30 was a fair price and I expected a decent product based on the reviews. When it arrived, I was able to take everything from my laptop case - passport, flash drive, files, chargers and more - and transfer it into this backpack with ease. There are dedicated pockets that are intelligently sized (there is one small pocket that is flash-drive-shaped, which was amazing). And, because of the way it's constructed, it's smaller and lighter than my laptop case. From the beginning, I was impressed, but that was only the beginning. The backpack itself complies with my airline's (and, let's be reasonable, most airlines') definition of a "personal item" rather than "carry-on luggage," whereas my laptop case was too wide to be considered a personal item (though most airlines wouldn't bug you, still, it's always better to be able to point to the regulation and say you're in the right!). This bag maximizes economy of space brilliantly, and fits under the seat in front of you on the plane, so no rummaging through the overhead compartments looking for your bag. I thought the bag couldn't get any better, but it didn't stop there. I was initially concerned about whether having a backpack rather than a laptop case would appear "unprofessional," but as a traveling salesperson, it didn't appear that anyone judged me for having a backpack rather than a case. The zippers are strong and large, so no cheap metal or plastic breaking on you as you try to open a zipper that got stuck on cloth. Everything is laid out very well. Having all my chargers, cables and files handy was useful during my presentations, when I was able to pull out hotspots, folders and other things with ease, and even keep my coins together for easy reach while paying tolls. I'm excited to use this backpack for personal 1-2 day trips also, because I can definitely fit a bit of clothing in the other pocket I didn't use (there was so much space, I didn't need to!) and be able to travel in a plane, train or automobile without having to worry about lugging around...well, luggage. The side compartment is perfect for the average bottle of water, for people that want to use this backpack in the outdoors or for long trips, and just about any laptop will fit inside the slit in the back. If the events of Amazon's history as a company in the last two decades had only culminated in the design of this backpack, that would honestly be enough to justify its existence. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but this backpack is yet another example among the many reasons more and more of my purchases are being made through Amazon. Their reputation for quality and economy of design understates the achievements of this backpack, which sets standards beyond all those previously achieved by Amazon. Thank you again, Amazon, and I look forward to seeing what the next item is that you decide to improve in ways I didn't even realize I wanted.

I had been shopping for a replacement bag for several months, and had narrowed it down to a few choices. I finally chose this Amazon Basics laptop backpack. When I received it I was first impressed by how it felt in my hands. It doesn't feel flimsy at all, but very sturdy and well-made. I moved all my stuff from the old bag to the new bag and had plenty of room left over. There are multiple pockets for all your things, and the zippers are very smooth. I have a 16" laptop which fits the laptop sleeve with ease and the padding leaves me confident it's well-protected as I carry it about. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and I could carry this bag for a long time if needed. I would recommend this bag highly.

I don't know how I feel about this backpack. However, let me get into the specifics. I am a college student in their last semester. When my other high sierra backpack tore, I was devastated for two reasons: 1) I loved my backpack. I loved the design, the structure, and the pockets it had, and 2) as a college student with not much money this was a major blow to my finances. Now, onto the review. It fits my laptop. I have a 15.6" Lenovo laptop, and one of the reasons I bought this is because it was supposed to fit it. My laptop scratches the two curving sides of the backpack when I close it. If I had to put it in a sleeve, my laptop probably would not fit. Hence, the 17" claim can be put to rest: it would not fit a 17" laptop, unless you have remarkable cramming skills. I docked a star for this because I know it wouldn't fit as nicely (which it should as it's well below the 17" limit) with the sleeve on, which I intended to do during times of bad weather. Onto the zippers. The flaps that drape over the zippers are convenient and inconvenient. You can't open the bag very nicely while it's new, though I suspect the bag would probably stretch in time and the flaps will become more manageable. The zippers are nice quality, with one caveat: someone in a review said that it sounds like you're walking with a ton of change in your pocket. They're right. This backpack is noisy, but the zippers seem well made. My one fear is that the stitching for the zippers will come undone as it has for some other people -- if that begins to happen, I'll knock the backpack down another star. Now, onto my other big gripe with the bag: the space. As a college student, I put in my laptop, it's charger and a mouse, a one inch binder, a course packet, a tiny planner, a thin accordion folder organizer, and then filled the two spaces with pens, pencils, and all of your stationary needs. The bag looks full, very full. I won't be able to fit my lunch bag in it at all. There isn't very much space in this bag. My high sierra backpack could hold much more, which is saying something because it doesn't look near as bulky. And last: the water bottle holder. I have a Nalgene water bottle, which fit perfectly in my high sierra backpack (with room to spare for chapstick, the occasional pen, and even my wallet). The water bottle holder wouldn't hold a normal sized small water bottle, let alone my Nalgene one. It is, effectively, useless, unless I want to put pens and pencils in the bottle holder. The backpack seems well made, though, and it seems sturdy enough. I wanted something to hold my laptop, and I got it. I just don't know how I like it. I'll test it out for school tomorrow and if it feels off then I'll probably send it back. It's not great, but it fit everything I currently have along with my laptop. I would probably say that if it could fit more things like my lunchbox I wouldn't feel as disappointed. It isn't a bad backpack. And the price is fantastic. Will update as I keep it.

Muy buen producto, buena calidad y con variedad de compartimentos.

I'm serious. I got this with a student discount when I started college, and it goes with me everywhere, with my entire life inside of it. The pockets are many, big, sturdy and legitimately functional. I think in the picture it showed entire binders fitting into the secondary pockets and I was skeptical about the physics of that, but somehow it works! It's not a huge bag at all, but somehow everything but the kitchen sink fits inside of it. The bag itself is very lightweight as well, despite having so many different compartments and being really sturdy. You can tell because the zippers are so "zippy" --they feel very smooth and withstand a lot of abuse being tugged at from weird angles without much protest. It's perfect because I can carry it around instead of a purse on light days, but then fill it with 3 binders, 2 text books, a laptop, a big journal, a million girl-things in the outter pocket, my wallet, my water bottle, my charging cords, my glasses, my lab-coat for bio, a sweater and my lunchbag. All with confidence that it won't fall apart, damage my fragile goods, or hurt my back. Because the back is reinforced for the computer compartment inside, it really does wonders when I'm lugging all my college gear around campus. ANY college student will tell you how important that is!!! I'm really really glad I picked this bag over the other ones I had in mind. The main drawback for me going in was its small size, but after this semester, when I realize how much it expanded that turned out to be a bonus! :)

Werkt goed. Amazon is wel zo clever om al 1 week nadat ik deze rugzak kocht al om een review te vragen. Of deze lang meegaat kan ik nu nog niet veel zeggen dus 😅... Of toch! Want dit is al mijn 2e Amazon basics laptoprugzak. De vorige is een jaar of 5 meegegaan totdat 1 van de 4 ritsen stuk ging. Na 5 jaar intensief gebruik is dat best ok. En nu ben ik hier terug om mijn 2 e praktisch identieke rugzak te reviewen. 5 jaar later weet ik nog steeds niet goed wat ik erover moet vertellen maar dat had u wellicht al door 😂

自転車通勤のために購入し、使用1年が経ちました。 他のレビューに見られるような縫製のほつれはありません。製造年、または個体差があるのかもしれないです。 収納箇所が多く、開けようと思った部分と違うファスナーを開いてしまうことがあるのはご愛嬌でしょう。 そういう意味では「手探りだけで開けられる」ような山用品的なハイレベルの機能性はないと言えます。 しかし、この値段で気軽に使えるデイパックとしてはかなりの良品だと思います。 私が気に入っているのは以下の点です。 主張が強くないプレーンなデザイン, 収納が多い, 軽い, 背負いやすい, ノートPC用のポケットが再背面(背中側)にある 普段入れているものは次の通り。 MacBook Air 13インチ,iPad mini,A5サイズ手帳,筆箱,A4クリアファイル数枚,1L水筒,長財布,手袋,爪切りなどを入れたポーチ (ここに夏場は着替えのシャツなどを入れています) ブランドにこだわらず、安価で十分なバックパックを求めている人にはオススメの一品です。 (全くの余談ですが、最近の流行りである「ショルダーベルトを長く伸ばして背負う」カタチはバックパックの機能を十分に使えていないと思います。きちんとショルダーを身体にフィットさせれば、この商品も疲れなく背負うことができます。)
