This backpack is the best, according to both my husband and my son. It is sturdy enough for a laptop, yet it is not super bulky. It features multiple compartments(for keys, water, MP3 or phone), but some of the pockets are hidden, contributing to a sleek and stylish look. More importantly, it can withstand being thrown daily into my son's locker or carried around as the carryon bag for my husband's many business trips. And the Amazon.com discount makes it super affordable.

This backpack is great value for the price. The first one I received had two defects, which was slightly upsetting, but getting a replacement from amazon was easy. There's a lot of space inside, but it's almost too divided; it's hard to find a place for large items. The laptop sleeve seems to protect and secure my 15.4" laptop nicely.

Good, solid pack for travel with a notebook PC. It worked fine with a heavy HP ZV5000 series notebook made in 2002. Plenty of padding and straps keep weight from feeling uncomfortable. Lots of cubbies inside and out. Good for books, smaller travel items, etc.

After running through Frankfurt airport with an "over the shoulder bag" I decided to get a computer backpack - and this one is great (I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could). It will actually hold 2 laptops if you travel with one for business and one personal (photos, for example) and plenty of papers, folders, etc. My only nitpick - the outer pocket - which could be great for a ticket and passport, is not even large enough for a passport. But overall, it is a great, well made, bag.

The backpack is great, my 17" laptop is an almost too snug of a fit. Lots of pockets excellent quality.
