I just got this bag and when I ordered I was torn between this one and the bigger version of it. It took a while for delivery but, I finally got it today. It is very nice. The material looks and feels very sturdy and there’s a lot more room then I thought there was: FYI the laptop area fits my 15.4″ laptop (the capability of the screen size to fit this bag was not specified anywhere; and believe me I looked everywhere online). Anyway, there is still room to add a book in the laptop compartment which is the last one (has a lot of padding here). There is another compartment, the middle one, which can fit about 3 folder sized items, and yet another deep compartment in the front with nice zipper/pocket areas. the padding is really comfortable on the straps and the back with “air” circulation noted which I assume is a good thing. Also, note the adjustable straps you see in the picture on each side of the bag; they are extremely useful because when you don’t have this bag stuffed with things just tighten it up and it appears to be a smaller bag (which is good for me, since I frequently just carry my laptop). Worth the $35 I paid despite the delayed but free shipping. I think if I would have gotten the bigger version of this bag it would have been too big for my needs. (btw I am replacing a Targus laptop backpack which lasted only about 6 months and now it has a hole that is tearing on a daily basis at the bottom- so if anything I don’t recommend targus backpack which I paid $30 for and the material was poor compared to this one and also it is much smaller then this one). This construction feels much stronger and durable then the Targus and I only paid $5 dollars more. Also seems more practical and convenient with the compartments and pockets.

I was going to buy a rolling laptop bag, but found this on sale and got it instead. Made my trip so easy! Plenty of room for my laptop and accessories. Plus tons of padding and pockets. I was able to carry extra books, electronics, etc. Sitting in an airplane seat it fit nicely under the seat in front of me and I was able to get to all my toys during the flight. I have used about 6 other laptop bags during travel, but this was definitely the most comfortable, roomy, and easiest to use.

Even you put heavy stuff in the bag, you put it on your shoulder. It’s light. Amazing! I love it.

I think this is a really good bag, as expected from SwissGear. But here are the reason I can’t give it a 5 Star:
1) The front compartment is hard to get to because the front zipper has an upward curve, and the compartment are pretty low. Also the material is strong and sturdy.
2) The main compartment is on the small side.
3) This is probably my main complain: it doesn’t have a strap that connects the two shoulder pads by your chest, or a waist strap that goes around your waist. Either of these straps would make a bag a lot easier on your back, and more stable to carry. My $15 Old Navy bag pack has this, and it helps a lot! Anyone who goes hiking will tell you that those straps help in carrying heavy bag packs. A work around here is that the straps on this bag has a loop at the end. So you can tie it around it’s side of the shoulder strap and bring it to the front and connect the two loops with a carabiner.

its a good bag for a nice price. I bought it for 30$. Its worth for that money. It just(exactly) fits 15.4′ laptop and it can just accommodate not more than 3 books and a laptop…
