I’ve been using the Samsonite “Better than Basic” backpack for a few weeks now, and it’s been fantastic. The limestone gray color is super sleek and goes with everything — I’ve gotten a ton of compliments! It fits my 14” HP Envy laptop perfectly with room to spare, and the compartments help me keep everything organized, from my chargers to notebooks and even snacks.
The build feels sturdy without being heavy, and the zippers are smooth and secure. I’ve used it for school, work, and even a short trip, and it held up great through all of it. I love that it’s minimal without sacrificing practicality.
Highly recommend for anyone who wants a reliable backpack that still looks clean and modern!

This backpack has seriously changed the way I carry my gear. The back support is a game-changer — it makes all the difference, especially when carrying multiple devices. I usually carry both my iPad and laptop, and despite the weight, the backpack still feels super light and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a practical, well-designed backpack that doesn’t compromise on support or style!

Perfect All-in-One Backpack!

I absolutely love this backpack! The number of pockets is just perfect. I can easily fit my laptop and notebook for school, have a change of clothes for the gym, and use the smaller pockets to keep my wallet, keys, and other essentials for work. As someone who prefers to carry just one bag, this backpack has been a game-changer. I no longer have to switch between my school bag, gym bag, and purse. It's incredibly stylish and not at all bulky. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile and chic backpack!

I recently got this backpack because I am an avid traveler and I needed a backpack with a band on the back to attach it to my carry-on luggage. Is it the perfect size, not too big or too small. I used it on my last trip during Spring Break.
