Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought the backpack for a trip to Jamaica and loved it. The bottom has a durable and washable which was important traveling. We loved he many different compartments which some were especially accessible too. It was about the right size needed also. It was the perfect size for my 15 inch laptop with room to spare and had the needed padding also. Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase.

I had a SwissGear Pegasus before this model, but I downsized laptop sizes. I absolutely love SwissGear backpacks, never have had any issues with them. I only recommend these backpacks. The areas to hold your laptop is very secure and padded, and the amount of organized storage you get is simply amazing. If you're looking for a great investment, this bag is the way to go!

My last back pack was an Eddie Bauer and I purchased it in 2009, This new Swiss Gear - Synergy Laptop Backpack is built stringer than my previous one and has many more functional zippered pocked with on specially designed to carry my pens, mp3 player, voice recorder & many other standard odds & ends needed to get me through my day. It shows some thoght went into the making of this product as in the pocket there is a special places that seems to fit every item just perfecty. It has a total of 8 sippered pockes with 2 on the side for water bittles or whatever. The main area for storing your laptop or "newer tec'> has plenty of room for a nice 15" screen size. I can also store my 10" ablet as well. These are all well protected as there is extra padding in this area of the backpack. It also had very comfortable shock-absorbing shoulder straps as well as a handy dual handle system for flexible carrying options. I recommend this product to anyone who is in need of a new backpack or to simple upgrade to a better one than you already own and I am sure this one will last as long if not longer than my previous purchase 8 years ago.

This Swiss Gear backpack is light, sturdy, and well built for comfort and carrying ability. It has well designed compartments with solid padding for laptops, tablets, books and any other travel requirement. Sleek side compartments work well to support eyewear on both sides of the unit.

Lightweight yet durable, this mountain backpack offers great support and smart storage for multi-day hikes. Comfortable fit, easy access pockets, and sturdy design make it perfect for serious treks without weighing you down.

Great backpack with lots of storage to keep things organized. Carries everything I need. Built to last.

my favorite backpack of all time. It has plenty of pockets to keep my stuff separated and can easily carry my Ipad and think pad without having to worry about breaking it. Its side pockets are big enough to fit a tumbler in, The front pockets are padded enough to fit cologne in.

This is the 2nd backpack that my son has had since 1st grade and he's entering 7th grade. He had exactly this one and chose to buy it again. He loves all the pockets, how the cushion on the arms makes it so its easy to carry a full load. He can put his chromebook in there and theres inside padding so if it drops protects the unit. There's so many compartments as well. As a parent, I love the durability.

Perfect size for all my gear. This bag is exceptionally well made. The shoulder straps are positioned to hold the bag comfortably on your shoulders. I’ve had Swiss Gear before and it lasts years. This will be the last one I’ll ever need to buy. There are compartments for every conceivable gadget. You will not find a comparable bag for anywhere close to this price.

Keeps my extra screen and laptop securely contained. Separate pockets for my required office paperwork, keys, pens, highlighters, correct tape, mouse/ mouse pad, phone charging core and cube/ power bank. Ideal storage space for my Otoscope, stethoscope, bandage scissors, hair ties, brush, water bottle and flavor packets. Everything securely separate and organized. I work between several worksites and my back pack is my mobile office. This bag does it all and keeps my screens safe from impact. I hesitated because it is not girly at all but it has been the best work bag EVER.

This is a great backpack for someone who like to carry stuff with them (laptop, tablet, books, notebooks, etc.) all the time. I take the bus, walk, and ride my bike a lot and this backpack is great for it because it has terrific padding and back support. I also like to have my laptop, nook tablet, a notebook, a book, water bottle, coffee mug, and various other little things with me everywhere I go, and this backpack fits all of it, as well as having some extra space left over for random things like a sweatshirt. It protects everything, especially my laptop, very well. It's tough and durable as well. I'd recommend this backpack to anyone on the go... although it's a little pricey (i paid $79.99), i'd still consider it to be worth the price.

Swiss Gear makes outstanding products. This laptop bag is no exception. It is well made, spacious and comfortable to carry. It has plenty of storage space and separate pockets for a laptop, documents, an iPad and more. I’m very happy with this bag.

I had a few criteria when looking for a new backpack. 1) Protect laptop 2) Durability 3) Comfort. So far this backpack has met all the criteria; Plenty of padding surrounding laptop compartment, also in other compartments that I wasn't expecting...bonus! Material and stitching are of good quality and should result in a long service life. The cushion, around shoulder strap and back is very comfortable. Highly recommend this backpack.

This is by far the most incredible backpack ever! Im a nursing student, so my backpacks are always loaded down; the extra cushion on it saves my back, and makes carrying everything so much easier. There are pockets for everything and not a single inch of space in this bag goes unused, not to mention how well-built and strong it is. I definitely reccommend this backpack! Worth every cent!

Replaced a laptop bag with this to use for personal and business travel. It holds everything I needed including a MacBook Pro 16”, iPad with Magic Keyboard, and has room for a lot more. While it got heavy with all the stuff it contained, it was easy to carry with all the padding added to the back of it. Plus it held well on the carry-on’s handle bars for rolling.

Excellent backpack with lots of room for pretty much everything. I’m a truck driver, and all of my computer accessories travel in my backpack. I pack an Alienware M16 R2, a 15” MacBook Pro, a Targus cooling pad, chargers for both computers, mice for both, a couple external hard drives, and all necessary cables into this backpack, along with my reading glasses and a few other essentials. Even fully loaded, the backpack never feels too full. The design and layout is perfect to carry whatever you need to carry. This is the third SwissGear backpack I’ve bought over the last fifteen or so years, and I’ve always been extremely happy with their build quality and durability. It is definitely worth spending a little more money to get such a perfect storage solution.

I bought this backpack to replace another SwissGear backpack that was getting a little long in the tooth. Spent more than I would have at Sam's but I think that this one is a bit more functional and of better quality (looks cooler, too). Very light. There are tons of compartments to store stuff and forget where you put thing when you need something ;) Easily handles two laptops (Lenovo 15" and MacBook 13") and my iPad Pro. Comfortable (although it's not like I'm hiking with it). Quality appears to be very good. Overall, I am very please with it.

I absolutely love this bag! I bought the same exact one several years ago for another laptop, and had always been amazed at how many divided sections inside the bag there were, each with ample space, plus plenty of pockets on the outside. It's also survived with hardly any wear and tear on it, so it's made very well. I can't believe how much stuff I can easily put into the bag . . . it reminds me of the Harry Potter book/movie when the characters go to some festival and set up a tent, and from the outside it looks like a small 2-man tent, but when you step into the tent it opens up into a cavernous mansion . . . that's what this bag is like - it just amazes you with how much space is inside of it. So, I was absolutely thrilled when I bought a new laptop and had to get a bag for it, and I discovered this bag is still being sold - I snatched it up without any hesitation.

I found this backpack to be perfect for my needs - daily transportation of my laptop/headset to and from the office and occasional business trips where I need to also carry power supplies, keyboard, mouse, USB cabels, and a whole lot more. There's tons of space and a number of separate compartments to isolate items. There's also a handy top pocket that I use to store wallet/phone/watch while going through TSA - easy to access which provides quick access.

When my trusty Jansport of more than 16 years developed a rip, it was time to upgrade to something more modern, sturdy, and not too bulky. This fits the bill for the first two, and almost for the last. It has tons of pockets, great protection for your laptop, tablet, etc. Watter bottle holders on both sides, and enough reinforcement on all the joints and seams. I've carried this on domestic and international plane rides, and take it to work every day with a laptop, and a couple of binders inside. What more not to like?
