I have been shopping around for electronics backpacks for my various electronics. I had my heart set on a wenger bag because they seem to have a good reputation. I just didn't like how they sell for over 60 dollars on other sites, so when I saw this on amazon, I had to snatch it up.

The bag is HUGE, big enough to fit my laptop, camera, cellphone, mp3 player, flashlights, and all my accessories, with enough room to fit a ton more of stuff. The bag is well designed with two water bottle pockets, an mp3 player pocket, with port for headphones, a organizer, a padded area for you laptop, and assorted pockets for anything else. The backpack is overall very comfortable and fits well on my back. The bag is sturdy enough to take care of all your precious items. Get this bag!

This is a perfect backpack for notebook and anything else you want to carry - it's huge! But, it's made in such a way that everything fits perfectly inside it, it's not bloated as other backpacks are. It's has plenty of storage room and what I like the best is that there are two big compartments - one for notebook and documents and other for food, clothes etc. Another very good features of the bag is that it's lays flat against your back and thus does not push on your shoulders making carrying my Lenovo T61 along with other stuff very comfortable.
I would highly recommend this backpack to anyone who needs to carry notebook to work everyday, this was a well though out product. I would've liked to see more photos from Amazon about this product since front view does do justice for this awesome backpack.

The quality of Swiss Gear bags (anyone of any price) is simply the best. After i got my first swissgear back pack a few years ago, i never shopped for any other brand. Great quality and excellent price for a bag like that. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. You will not be disappointed.

I really liked this bag and its look. But, the chain broke after I bought it. I somehow managed to fix it. So it is working fine now but sometimes it gets difficult for me to get along with it. It is spacious and the fabric used is very good.

I love this bag--similar bags cost much more in the bricks-and-mortar stores but offer less. The bag can accommodate a 15" laptop, and the separate large document compartment holds 4 or 5" inches of paperwork etc. The third separate compartment is great for pens etc. The padded straps and padded back remind me of much more expensive bags. The top carry handle is very sturdy--in fact, I've used the bag daily for almost a year and it had held up perfectly.

Occasionally, I carry two 15" laptops--I can squeeze both in the laptop sleeve. The bag handles the weight well. Highly recommended. Note--fill this to capacity, and it can get heavy!

for the price, you shouldn't miss this one if you wanna carry a sub 15'' laptop on a daily basis.

I like the bookbag. I've had it for about 4 weeks and it's holding up well. The compartments are good and I guess I could tell you everything that's good about it, but here are a few things that bother me a little. One, the shoulder straps. They have some padding reinforcement but I feel that they could have added some more. I carry a textbook, my comp, a bunch of papers and the usual pens/highlighter accessories, but I feel it's heavier than my other bag from the same company. Also, just know that the shoulder straps are connected to each other, as they are in all gaming/computer bookbags. I think they do this to add strength to the straps, but I prefer them being separate. Also, the bag doesn't stand upright; it falls down on its face which gets pretty annoying. I bought the bag for $32 total and for that price I'd def buy it again despite the 2 little nuances I have. If these "problems" don't bother you, then you should get the bag as everything else is really great and would be silly for me to talk about it.

It is a nice school bag for students, you can put a lot of things inside, and organize them. However, I hope there are more compartments with zipper because I have a lot of little stuffs.

This backpack can hold everything you might need. The bag expands to twice it's volume. A must buy

- bag is not as big as it looks in the picture
- brand tends to make bags I trust, appears to hold up well

That being said, this is a good laptop bag and will easilly hold a reasonable amount of gadgets, documents and the like to take care of your normal daily needs. However, the main storage space really only has room for one textbook, a folder, and maybe 2 single subject notebooks (without using the laptop storage "hole" for anything laptop or otherwise). I have crammed some stuff in the laptop area and wedged another book in there.. but its a tight fit even with nothing in any of the other compartments.

The cellphone pocket is a joke, I doubt it's wide enough to fit a razor in, and it's too shallow to fit a typical flip phone. Let alone any kind of "smart" phone.

So.. I don't take a book to one of my classes (which would really be handy to work on homework with intercession), but overall i'm fairly happy with the bag.

The organization, padding, and general sturdyness of the bag seem to be up to the comapnies name. It is also a very comfortable setup.

I will update this review later, perhaps with some more fine touches sometime when I have the bag sitting in front of me.
