Very nice backpack for school

Purchased for my 17 yr old nephew. Very nice looking & heavily padded for comfort & protection of contents. It should be able to hold his school supplies, 17" laptop, phone, earphones, etc very easily.

This one rocks !

Awesome backpack ! Looks cool, well made and is very functional. I looked at a couple of them in stores and thought most of them were a tad on the cheap side. Glad I waited and ordered this one. It is a keeper !

Used over 10 years

After ten years and many flights and miles I am pleased to see I can get the exact same backpack. All the zippers still work. And there is room enough for three days an Spirit let’s me claim it as my “personal item”. Let’s hope the next one is just as good.

Great backpack

I am an adult that is going to college later in life. This thing is wonderful. Plenty of padded space for my giant laptop, and another spot for my kindle. Plenty of space for my books and loads of little pockets for stuff that you always need, pencils, pens, excedrin, water bottle, you name it. Also the handle is sturdy, mine is loaded down daily and its showing no signs of wear and tear. I'm very happy with this backpack, if it ever wears out, I will definitely buy another one

Great for students

I am a senior in high school. I have evethything in my backpack. A 2liter water bottle, my lunch bag, notebooks, books, and sometimes my 17in laptop. Everything fits perfectly, it becomes a little heavy but does not feel as heavy. I have traveled with this to several places and evrything I need fits perfectly. I think it will be great for college next year.

Not for 17" notebooks

My HP 17" notebook stuck about 1.5 inches above the protective material, with the top edge of the computer, and especially the corners, pressing against the zipper when the compartment was zipped shut. I have traveled across the States and to Europe twice a year for almost 20 years. This computer would not be protected from the many "hazards" that are part of a normal trip. Such as rolling top first off of a car seat onto the floor when the car needed to make a sudden stop; being pushed off a conveyor belt during airport security check; slipping off my shoulder when bumped in congested areas; having to be checked at the gate because the small plane was full and watching baggage workers tossing it onto a cart, etc. The Targus sold by HP is a perfect fit. The SwissGear is well made, but not for a 17" monitor.

Very pleased with this back pack

This pack is super for traveling. Has enough space for two lap tops, keyboard, mouse and tablet! Plus I had notebook and pens. Got somewhat heavy but with both straps on in was very easy to transport around. I would recommend this back pack for any student or traveler.

Best Laptop

I ordered this bag from Bestbuy and was surprised with how big and comfortable this bag is. I am a full time college student and commute to classes via city transportation, so I find the amount of padding and the upright feature refreshing. There is ample storage compartments for everything I need to bring to the college for the day. The mp3 compartment with the earbud cord port is fantastic for keeping mp3 player safe and dry. The one issue I have is that the mini storage areas in the compartments aren't really student or business friendly. They lack places to store pens/pencils. I always recommend this backpack when people ask me what kind of laptop bag they should get.

solid

first laptop recently purchased and i needed a bag that was able to handle the rigors of construction trades. so far this bag is solid. good size, nice features, handles on top are great, straps are comfortable. this should take plenty of travel in and out of trucks and job sites with no problem. wade

Durable and Attractive Notebook Transportation

The SwissGear IBEX GA-7316-06F00 Carrying Case (Backpack) for 17" Notebook - Blue, I purchased to carry my ENVY17 is excellent protection and portability in a smart-looking package. In addition to the heavily padded compartment for my notebook, there are several other pockets for computer accessories, books and papers, pens, candy bars and cup cakes. And finally there are two mesh baskets, one on either side, to carry water, sport drinks or beer. The exterior design, materials, zippers, straps and carry handle are easy care, durable, comfortable and good looking.

Strong but a little tight

After 5 years, my old Targus PC Backpack is pretty worn out so while buying a new PC, I bought this pack offered on the HP website. It is well-built with lots of pockets. It is a little smaller than my old one and the HP 17.3 Envy just barely fits. So far, a good pack.

SwissGear Backpack for 17" Notebook

This is a great bag with lots of convenient pockets including a separate padded section for the laptop. This is the second SwissGear backpack that I have bought. I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident (truck pulled a U-turn in my face) and the paramedics cut the bag and all of my clothing off me. However, the laptop survived as did the rest of the contents. I did not hesitate to buy another SwissGear backpack to replace it.

Good Strong Backpack

This backpack is very sturdy and has good reinforcement. I have used several backpacks and none have had this level of reinforcement. I strongly recommend this backpack for anyone who requires or wants a sturdy reinforced backpack for their laptop.

What a Great Buy!

After a short delay due to being out of stock, I ordered this backpack. After I received it and started loading my laptop, pen tablet, external hard drive, embroidery card reader, and all the related accessories and power cords, I loved it all over again! Everything is all in one nice neat package. I even have room for my planner, a notebook, and a healthy snack! (Sorry, there's not enough room for the kitchen sink, but pretty close!) My nephew, a computer technologist at a major company, told me "You'd better watch your backpack carefully! I might have to steal it! It's my dream backpack!" Made me feel like I'd hit the jackpot! Thanks again for a great product!

Great Backpack

I love this backpack, it is a great buy and I would definitely recommend it to others. I have an Asus G73 and it is incredibly hard to find anything that this behemoth will fit it, but it fits comfortable into this Swissgear back. So if you have an over-sized laptop or just want a lot of storage space (and pockets, lots and lots of pockets) this is the one for you.
