After the shipment arrived, I carefully examined the product for quality assurance and features offered. All in all a fine computer backpack.However, there are two areas that are lacking: the water-bottle pocket will only accommodate only a small bottle (e.g. My careful measurements revealed that it should/would fit in the bag. Prior to placing the order, I measured my computer to see if it would fit within the stated dimensions. I selected this computer bag based on brand name, dimensions, functionality, color, and last of all price (being the 2nd most important factor behind brand name). So I was left with a decision; return and order a larger computer bag, or make do with what I had.I decided to keep the backpack and make some extremely minor modifications, so my computer will fit in the bag. I did notice there is some room to add additional padding, if the user so desires. The high density foam padding, surrounding the computer is adequate.
For those of us that are extra thirsty or big drinkers, you are out of luck. There are plenty of pockets to hold most, if not all of the typical computer accessories. The product description, including dimensions, stated that it could accommodate up to and including a 17" laptop/notebook computer. 16oz - 20 oz). My examination confirmed the quality SwissGear is known for. There are plenty of zippers to allow easy access to all of the interior features. Second, when I tried to place my computer in the bag, I discovered that my unit was 1 inch to long for the protective sleeve. Other than my computer being 1" too long, I would highly recommend this computer bag to anyone.
On the downside, the bag does not breathe quite as readily as other laptop bags, so you may end up with a sweaty back if you use it for extended periods of time in warmer climates. The extra padding for the laptop has some notable side effects.
The large zippers and thick fabric (which feels like canvas) are both very durable. After owning other, more expensive laptop backpacks, I can say this one is definitely my favorite.
In real-life it's a slightly darker color of blue and less bulky looking. Additionally, there is a lot of padding to protect my laptop.
I did not expect it to be especially stylish based on the online pictures, but I have actually received a few complements. First, the laptop is stored closest to the body, so if it rains torrentially that may serve as an extra barrier against wetness.
Overall I am pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to a friend.
This backpack is excellent for school. It helps you be very organized. The laptop is very well secured inside it. There are A LOT of pockets for gadgets and room for books. It's a little bigger than you would expect from a backpack, but it's very nice.Very sturdy fabric. I used it only for school for now, not for hiking yet.
