First off, I want to start by saying that I had a Swissgear backpack previously that I used almost daily for about 5 years and had no problems with it. When I say almost daily I mean nearly EVERY day for 5 years. I used it every single work day (mostly in the field on construction sites), for overnight stays, and on vacations. It held up incredibly well. Finally a few days ago one of the zippers broke loose and would no longer close, so I bought this one.I've only had the bag for a few days now, but these are my initial impressions:1. It feels even more well made than my previous pack and that's saying a lot.2. The padded section for the laptop and tablet is great and is the biggest reason why I chose this pack. It protects both items pretty well and will fit even the largest laptop and a 10" tablet.3. In general I like the layout but there are two things I don't like: there are only two slots for pens/pencils, and the water bottle pockets aren't really big enough and should be mesh, not zippered. Also, the little section up top for sunglasses is basically useless if you don't use it for sunglasses, which I don't. I wish they had made it a little larger for use a general purpose quick access pouch (which my previous pack had).I specifically researched Wenger/SwissGear computer backpacks thanks to their reputation. They have a wide array of products in this category. My price range was $65-$95 (street) with consistent 4-star (or better) ratings. I checked the manufacturer's website for their most recent product line and verified the item's specs. Thorough? Yes. I do my homework up-front for the sake of a satisfactory buy. I also poke around the local storefronts to see what they offer. Shipment was immediate. On my doorstep in 48 hrs.The Wenger SwissGear Carbon computer backpack comes out of the box light as a feather, but looking tough as nails. Impressed by minimal use of fabrics that could snag or tear, beefy zippers, a braided steel cable handle, efficient padding, ergo-designed shoulder straps, and a stout-yet-narrow profile that says "I can fit most anywhere". Superior appearance and construction.All accessible compartments are snug and offer plenty of space for my 14" laptop, power brick, extra cat5e cable and a few accessories. I do have to slip it in endwise for a proper fit (seems to be the design intent). Even a 17" should not be a problem. Getting items in and out of the backpack was relatively easy. Ample space for a datebook, folio, some files, folders, etc. Inside pockets were wisely sewn higher up to free space below for storage. Maybe one extra zippered side-pocket would have been nice, but the two stretch sleeves on each side get the job done. Most impressive is the comfort and ease of carrying this backpack. I like the handle when I transition from auto to pedestrian tasks, and then strap it on for jaunt to the office elevator. No matter how I've loaded it, it never feels awkward when I carry it. And the overall footprint is neither bulky or too wide. With backpacks this versatile, I'm done with shoulder bags and briefcases (yes, a student of the old school).On the surface, this appears to be a very solid backpack with a relatively tough hide, efficient design, and a good brand standing behind it. It deserves the SwissGear name. It will get mostly local use 5-6 days a week, riding in my minivan, maybe occasionally on my bike. Long-distance traveling for business may be rare, but will occur. If need be, I'll provide an update once its broken in.First off why I was a party pooper taking one star off: zipper handles could use some rubberization so that they do not produce any clickety clicks when meeting each other.But, then, it's hard to find luggage with the rubberized zipper handles, I haven't seen any latelysave for the cheap looking bags with plastic zipper handles, so I probably would not give 5 stars to any backpack/notebook case.Other than that the construction and materials are superb. Zippers open and close with ease I never found even with the top of the line YKK.There are no storm flaps over zippers but the notebook compartment is mostly protected by an internal flap, so chances are that the contentswon't get wet before you would. Anyhow, in umbrella vs. hood argument umbrella wins if peace of mind is on the menu or you arejust a worry wart in general. A slightly wider internal flap would've gone a long way towards putting user at ease.But I'm nit picking here. At $75 this is an excellent value, it probably is a decent value at $99 also.The air channels on the back seem deep enough to work if you are unfortunate enough to walk in california august heat.15" Mac book pro fits fine: 17" would probably fit also as evidenced by the absence of negative reviews. Two 15" laptops would likely fit also.As would a 17" and 15" if you are getting a workout in such a twisted and an unusual way.This backpack is even better than the Targus I took 3 years of intensive use to destroy (zippers) and, quite possibly, the best backpack overall of theall backpacks that I ever owned.UPD31032011: do not severely overload. After cramming a ton of stuff into the backpack (13" and 15" macbooks, etc) for an intercontinental flightthe backpack has some new creases. Targus did not have this problem with post overload fatigue.Still, solid 4 stars for the overall feel.A REAL PACK-HORSE!-This purchase was an experiment to assess if the product was suitable for a 2-week international trip - cabin baggage only-research revealed this was a good option-arrived in 2 days-the back-pack has 2 main storage areas-I used one for carefully rolled up clothes & the other for camera and gadget packages-many other smaller pockets proved useful for documents and the like-there are so many small pockets/pouches here and there - that many were redundant during my trip-there is also a very useful pocket/sleeve at the rear of the main storage area-which is ideal for iPads and Mac books/lap tops etc-I’m a savvy packer - however, everything I wanted to take on the trip - fitted nicely-my back-pack weight for the trip varied between 8kg and 10kg-the Wenger-Carbon proved to be a shrewd purchase and survived planes, trains and automobiles with no blemishes, on quite an active trip covering a lot of territory over 3 countries-it must be a great back-pack for students & office workers with a lot of stuff and clobber to carry around!-high quality and highly recommendedAfter owning a Wenger 16" backpack for many years (indestructible, travelled the world with me) I was forced to "upgrade" as my new laptop (a large 15.6" workstation) wouldn't fit without poking almost out of the top of the laptop compartment of the old one (despite being for a 16" laptop, was perfect for 14"), however the old one (with "red" badge) truly was/is a magnificent bag.Zip failed within a week both at seams and then the actual zipper itself, it really was that bad, was not at all confident in fact the straps were even that well sewn.Extremely poorly made especially compared to the older model (before I believe the company was taken over), the older models had the "red badge" I believe whereas the newer ones have the "black badge".Avoid.Habe den Rucksack im Winter gekauft. Da ich meist schwarze Jacken trage, war kein Problem mit den Tragegurten erkennbar. Seit es jedoch warm ist, und ich das Teil auch mal nur am hellen Hemd trage, ist das zu einem echten Problem geworden. Die ersten beiden Hemden habe ich versaut, weil ich gar nicht daran gedacht habe, dass die Gurten das Problem sein könnten. Da steht man beim Kundentermin und hat schwarze Flecken am Hemd. Sehr unangenehm.Dann habe ich angefangen die Plastikteile zur Längsverstellung der Gurte abzukleben. Aber offenbar färben auch die Einfassungen der Gurte ab.Wer also den Rucksack am hellen Gewand tragen möchte tut gut daran, wenn er gleich Gewand mitbestellt. Die Flecken gehen nämlich nicht mehr ganz raus! Da helfen sämtliche Hausmittelchen nichts, alles probiert.Ich schreibe nicht viele Produktbewertungen, aber dieser Rucksack hat es einfach verdient! Habe ihn jetzt seit einem Semester in Gebrauch und möchte ihn nicht mehr missen. Was mir beim Kauf an Information etwas gefehlt hat, wie viel tatsächlich hineinpasst - deswegen habe ich einfach mal eine Beispiel Bestückung fotografiert - mit Sachen, die ein Student tagtäglich braucht.- Laptop (15,6 Zoll) mit Ladegerät- breiter Ordner und schmaler Ordner (nicht komplett gefüllt)- zwei relativ dicke Bücher- zwei Bier (0,5 Liter)- Trinkflasche (1 Liter)- Kaffee-Thermobecher- Geldbeutel, Schlüssel, Handy, Tablet, Kopfhörer, Powerbank- Tastatur und Maus- MäppchenDie Verarbeitung ist super hochwertig, der Rucksack steht außerdem selbstständig, außer er ist komplett asymmetrisch beladen. Komplett regendicht und angenehm zu tragen, hat an den Schultergurten Shock - Absorber: Gut Für Rücken und bewegliche Teile im Laptop! Viele Nützliche Fächer zum Verstauen von allem möglichen Zeug, jedoch nicht zu viele, die dann meist nur unnütz sind und nicht gebraucht werden.Viel mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen. Der Preis ist für Studenten natürlich happig, allerdings lohnt es sich denke ich, wenn man einen Saufabend auslässt. Für alle anderen Gruppen Außer Studenten ist der Rucksack natürlich genauso geeignet. Klare KaufempfehlungNachtrag: Im vorderen großen Fach ist mittlerweile die Naht einer kleinen Tasche aufgegangen. Auch am Tragegurt ist eine Naht aufgegangen. Nicht weiter schlimm und einigermaßen gut zu nähen, aber ärgerlich!Wurde kurz vor Ablauf der Garantie ohne Probleme ersetzt!Build Quality looks superb, pockets for everything, plus some neat bells and whistles. The reason I'm giving it a 3/5, is because it's advertised to accommodate a 17" Laptop - I have a Dell Inspiron 17" 5000 Series Laptop, it fits, but there is no tolerance for airport-argy-bargy. The top corners of the laptop are tight under the zip and are liable to be scratched. The internal laptop cover which folds and fixes with velcro in order to hold the laptop securely, DOES NOT WORK with a 17' laptop - it's just not long enough to re-engage the velcro. Though, to be honest, the laptop is not going to be shaken around as it's wedged so hard against the top zip, it's fixed in position.Overall a neat, attractive backpack which looks as though it'll weather a fair bit of traveling / commuting. NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE, however, if you intend using it for a 17" screen.(Dell Inspiron 17" 5000 Series Laptop is 51cm )
