SYNERGY from SwissGear by Wenger Computer Backpack

I was looking for the perfect bag to carry my books and laptop at college, and this is it! It's got a ton of pockets including room for a 15.4" laptop that straps securely in a padded pocket. Even with the laptop in the bag you can fit books and notebooks with no problem. I also carry around my AC adapter and a car charger with no worries. It's got a hard shell on the bottom of the bag to protect your computer from damage if it's dropped. You couldn't ask for more!

Targus CVR600 15.4 Groove Notebook Backpack

This is a review for the 17" slip case. This has a great padding on it that's durable and good looking. It holds the computer perfectly, and with a slight bulge, a power cord and block will fit in the front pocket with lots of other cables and electronics. Great value for a great product. Also has a wonderful document area by the laptop area.

 

Teton Sports Fox 75+10L Internal Frame Backpack (Red)

This is a great backback for the price. Not the lightest pack for the capacity (which is decent) but not overly heavy (and cheap - I think I paid about $60). I found it very comfortable for a 4 days grand canyon trip. I did not like the side pockets - not very accessible and wierd shape that precluded putting water bottle in them. Overall a good pack.

Great small backpack for day to day use

I ride transit daily to and from work and bought this to replace an old backpack which was starting to wear out.

This is not a huge backpack, and I have larger ones I take to the grocery store for large loads but this more than adequately totes the daily junk I need to transport. I successfully managed to fit a large widescreen laptop in it but nothing any larger would be a decent fit. Hold a six pack and a few convenience items for that quick convenience store stop on the way home.

There are two large main pockets which if combined would probably give you more capacity but it does a nice job of giving you a space for your newspaper in one while giving the cargo space for a laptop, light jacket or whatever else you need in the other. The front pocket has places for pens and you can organize aspirin, tissues or other daily need items in there without it getting terribly cluttered. There is one really small pocket on top of this which I have not found too much use for but might be handy for something (if you can fit your hand in there).

The straps are very comfortable and most impressive about this bag. The suspension strap seems to help a bit with heavier loads but mostly I like the comfortable padding which has a breathable fabric to help keep you from getting sweaty under the straps which was often a problem for me with my old backpack.

I would definitely recommend this over some of the more popular and well known bags such as JanSport. The cost is much less and the quality is excellent.
