SwissGear ScanSmart Laptop Backpack - Black

First of let me start in saying i bought this backpack to carry around my 15" Sony Vaio laptop with me. I am a professional audio engineer so i need to have various cables, adapters, professional headphones, and interfaces with me at all times. This particular backpack has ample room for all of that and more to spare. Now, onto the latop Pros: -Easily fits 15" laptop into the laptop sleeve -has many pockets to hold a ton of stuff, but compresses nicely when empty or not full to the brim -has seven external pockets and several internal pouches for accessories like a laptop charger, phone charger, etc - has a key hanger thing (not sure of the technical term) in the from pocket which makes it very easy to store your keys away and not lose them in the bottom of the pouch -HAS A TABLET HOLDER. i capitalize this because i didn't see it anyone in the description. its a perfect size for an ipad to fit in comfortably. -seems to very durable and rugged like everything Wenger makes Cons: only one comes to mind, the zippers sometimes get stuck at a funny angle. they still function just find, but you kind of have to wiggle it or the part of the zipper you actually grab onto gets stuck. not a huge problem as i've had many backpacks with this issue. Overall this is a wonderful bag. it has ample room for anything you would ever want to put in it as far as technology goes (which is what i got it for). the smartscan feature will come in handy at the airport as well, i just haven't had the joy of using it yet.

I got this backpack for my wife for Easter because she would always give me Easter baskets the last 4 years you always forget to make her one. So since she's going for her doctorate in nursing and always studying and going over to her friend's house for study groups carrying her laptop and all her study materials in a big over shoulder bag I decided to load up this awesome endless compartment backpack with different goodies and t-shirts and candies for her on Easter. She loved it and was surprised with all the stuff in the bag how light it was to carry. It looks awesome and sturdy. So I would strongly recommend if you're looking for it a backpack where there you're going camping or just using a full day today that you get this one.

Just purchased this and came today. I'll get a chance to use it in the coming weeks. So far I like it... lots of pockets and plenty of room that I can see. The only downside- and I really wish I HAD stuck with getting a 15-16" laptop backpack- is that my macbook pro 15" (late 2016 model) slides around a bit in there and the protective 'arm' doesn't seem to hold it very snug at all. So I'm now worried about it sliding around in there while I walk for 15 minutes each way. Open to suggestions or let me know I have nothing to worry about. I'll be keeping it as I am leaving in about a week. I'll update once I've used this daily. I purchased Swiss Gear as I have an old "messenger bag" style Swiss Gear/Wenger computer bag from more than 10 years ago (ironically enough 15" for my Creaky Dell laptop!). It's held up well with little damage or wear on it except a little fraying of the straps to secure laptop. Hope the same is true for this one!

I purchased this Swissgear model specifically because i needed something that would fit my 17" HP Pavilion. I had looked at other models but most claimed they would fit "up to" 17 inches witch customer reviews showing their limitations. UPs: product is SPACIOUS enough to fit multiple binders (3" rings) all of my writing implements, sun glasses, keys, two .5 liter water bottles, ipod, lunch, and laptop with it's accessories and honestly i could probably fit more if i were inclined to carry the weight. ORGANIZED with numerous zippered pockets inside and out. these help to keep items separated and easy to find. it also has those little organizing pockets inside that i never actually use. i count 4 small organizing sipper pockets in addition to the 3 main pockets, features what could be used as a tablet pocket inside the smart scan area (i don't have a tablet to test this pocket. sleeve mentioned is not outfitted with extra padding between laptop and possible tablet, it's only padded on the side shared with the main compartment) HANDLE is wide to spread the weight evenly and sturdy enough that it doesn't bend around my hand when i choose to use it. it seems STURDY with thick stitching and in many places it is stitched for added support as well as at the seams. key areas are double stitched. even Downs: i haven't noted any yet that will affect me but here are some other notes; although the back is heavily padded for comfort while carrying it is not outfitted with a lot of extra padding on the bottom. there is perhaps a 1/4 inch or less at the bottom of the laptop compartment and even less in the main compartment. something to keep in mind when setting down your bag on hard surfaces. the bag features a pocket inside to hold MP3 or phones. there is a hole covered by a flap that is featured right above this pocket through which you can feed a cord for head phones and the like. please note that it is a hole not an electronic jack into which you plug directly. mesh on outside pockets is double layered for sturdy use but the mesh on the fast scan pocket is single layered for visibility, if used roughly or often it will probably be the first point to give. the coloration of my bag is slightly different. the light gray in the picture is actually a much darker grey. for the most part it appears to be a basic black bag with lots of pockets. i have not yet used the fast scan feature. i will do so at the end of the month so here's hoping it works as advertised!

My son talked me into getting this backpack for a three-night/four-day side trip by plane. I was skeptical that I could pack 4 days' worth of clothes in this backpack + a laptop + personal items, but I stand corrected. This backpack held it all with room to spare. It is well made and nearly two years and several trips later, it still looks new. I am very happy with this purchase, as is my son. SwissGear makes one great backpack!

After some Weeks of Hard Usage, i can say i like the Backpack. Its Great for Business! Lots of Space. Nach einigen Wochen harter Nutzung, kann ich sagen das ich den Rucksack liebe. Perfekt fürs Geschäftliche! Viel Platz für viel Zeug

I m using this bag as laptop plus travelling bag for short distance journey.

Per quanto riguarda il prodotto in sè lo avevo già visto da un amico e la qualità generale é davvero alta. Inoltre la possibilità di avere diversi vani dedicati a vari utilizzi é tanta roba. Il problema é che ad oggi, 28 agosto, il prodotto non è ancora arrivato, seppur la data indicata di consegna fosse per il 21 agosto. Ora mi ritrovo ad aver speso 140 euro per uno zaino che probabilmente non arriverà MAI! Detto ciò, state lontani dal venditore "beach bum global". ****AGGIORNAMENTO*** La mitica assistenza di Amazon, dopo poche ore dal mio contatto, ha provveduto a rimborsami dell'importo Servizio eccellente, come al solito❤

Fantastic gift for the hubby, high quality made with strong materials (great as he's heavy handed and breaks things easily), lots of storage space, separate compartment fits his (massive) laptop and is comfortable to wear.

Does everything it says - strong enough, light enough and should last
