    This is EXACTLY what I needed! I sold off all my expensive leather totes after I stopped working in a corporate job. I had some Best Buy Rewards that had to be used up before expiring. Found this item at a great price point under the Black Friday sales. Being the only thing I could think of that I actually needed, that would be relatively cheap to purchase... I figured I wouldn't be out much if it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to travel totes/bags of any kind, and usually can be pretty picky. I was pleasantly surprised how nice & strong the fabric is, how strong the zippers are, and how well the design & construction of the bag really is! It’s just absolutely FANTASTIC and a fully functional laptop tote! It could easily be used for either corporate or casual use, and does not have a cheap appearance at all. I’ve had Solo products in the past, and they are always made with quality… and this one is no different… I’m very happy with it! Just to give you an idea of how roomy this smaller laptop bag is: I can fit my 13” MacBook Pro (up to 15.6" laptops), my iPad Air, Apple Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse, External DVD Player, Mophie XL battery pack, eyeglass case, a few cables, and still have enough room for a couple more small items if needed! Keep in mind that all my peripherals have cases as well. There is also some decent padded pockets inside to protect those devices you’re traveling with. I LOVE that there’s a separate smaller pocket for a tablet, as well as the bigger main pocket for the laptop! You can also tuck away the backpack straps in a clean pocket on the back if you prefer to just use the shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is removable if you’d prefer to just use it like a briefcase with the handles. The snaps on the handles are magnetic, so those are super easy to use as well. Honestly I cannot find one thing to complain about with this bag… it really is a terrific design and the functionality is perfect! I feel I got this bag for a super low price because the quality is much higher than expected! I would highly recommend this bag if you’re looking for a nice looking & simple design, made with quality materials, and has plenty of storage. The weight of the bag is very lightweight as well! You can't go wrong with this one because it sells itself!

    I love this bag, it allows so much versatility. You can use it as a shoulder bag or a back pack, but you don't have to keep all the straps exposed when using one or the other. There are many pockets and organizers within the pockets, so there is a place for everything you need. I have a 15.3" lap top that sizes more like a 17" lap top, and finding a bag that fit it was not an easy feat. This bag fits it perfectly, while still having space in the bag for 2 more notebooks, 3 books for casual reading, and my tablet with it's keyboard case. That's just for the main compartment. I also fit about 20 pens in the small pouch, my lap top charger, a mouse, a mouse pad and my tablet chargers in the other pockets. With all that in it, it's a little heavy, but the bag itself is super light weight and easy to take with you anywhere you need to go. The lines are also super professional looking, something I would take to any meeting I have despite not being leather. Very clean lines and stitching, and a subtle checker like pin striping.

    Better than I expected, very roomy with just enough pockets. I use this for work mostly and it stores my laptop and charger, phone, notebook, external hard drive, along with some other odds and ends. For some reason the bag seems lighter than my old one with the exact same items. It appears well made, but it is too soon to know how well it holds up. My laptop is 15.6, it looks like it could accommodate a slightly bigger one, but I would not bet money on it.

    Great bag for all your office or school needs. It will hold your laptop and tablet along with allowing you to stow your notebooks and document folder. This bag is great for carrying over the shoulder as a messenger bag (the way I use it) or as a backpack. I have owned it for the last 2 years with out any issues

    Great quality material. Seems like it will last a long time without tearing. Has two front pockets for smaller items such as a mouse, pens, cables and more. The main pocket has a part where the laptop will fit which could be padded a little more to be fair, and has a part that can hold a tablet (doesn't fit my samsung tablet horizontally) and the charger and possibly other stuff. Quite a nice bag that allows you to hold it in different ways, backpack, side handle like a briefcase or on the top. Overall great product for the price.

    This bag is extremely versatile and has become my new favorite computer bag. I recently took it on a business trip and fit nicely on the airplane by my feet. It has a lot of space in the front two zipper compartments, and I love the ability to switch between use as a backpack and laptop bag. My 16" and 14" computers both fit into it without issue.

    This stylish and versatile bag has it all! I ditched the briefcase and now I only carry this bag. It has room for my iPad, pens, medication and folders. I even was able to fit my new ROG Ally X with its premium case inside my bag along with an iPad Pro 13 in. It also features three different carrying methods as well!

    Good quality bag and plenty of space. I have two rugged dell laptops in the bag, along with a charger in the front, and misc items. Over the shoulder is a welcomed option though I'll be carrying it like a briefcase most of the time. I only checked this bag out of interest in the backpack/briefcase swap feature, but it ended up being the best bag applicable to my use case, where I need to carry two laptops, which means I need both to have some padding around them. Luckily, it was the most affordable one on the shelf too.

    Very nice for its size, but just a bit too small. I wanted to downsize in order to be able to stow at my feet on airplanes. My old case made for cramped foot room on the smaller short hop aircraft. It's lightweight, attractive & well made of good quality fabric. It's a keeper!

    I have had this briefcase for three years now. I take it to work several times per week. It has not frayed or started coming apart like many cheap items do. I use it on airplanes, and it fits nicely under the seat. I have attached photos of what it looks like after three years.

    I had a Herschel backpack but it was way too bulky and didnt have nearly as many pockets or nooks as this bag does. This bag is also super versatile, as it can go from messenger bag to backpack to briefcase in seconds. Love this thing.

    A very versatile bag for school or work. An employee helped me decide on picking this one and i’ve been satirized with it, build quality can feel a little tacky but it’s just the lining for the front pockets. Still very cushiony inside to protect a laptop up to 16”, so it’s very roomy.

    I love this briefcase/backpack! The material is heavy/great quality and I can tell it’ll last me a while. I use it for short trips (3-5 days). There are really useful pockets/compartments. The main compartment has a slot for a laptop (my MacBook 13” fits well) and there is a slot for a tablet/IPad. Two outer compartments are separate and fit my cameras and toiletries very nicely. The backpack straps are very comfortable and nicely padded. I don’t use the briefcase strap, however, the clips are plastic and I could imagine after a lot of use they may break. Even so, it looks to me they could be replaced easily with metal clips if one wants (that’s my plan if I choose to use it often). I got my bag on sale but I can say it’s definitely worth the buy even at full price!

    Great case, using it with a small 14 inch laptop and works well even with the small size of the laptop. Love all the extra pockets and have plenty of space for my wireless keyboard, mouse, mouse pad and keyboard wrist pad and laptop power supply. All have their own space in this very versatile bag! Can't go wrong with all the carry options too, briefcase, cross body and bookbag carry capabilities all in one. Great laptop bag all around!

    Great Laptop Bag

    Just took my first airline trip with my new "Solo Urban Convertible Laptop Briefcase Backpack". I really like the way that I can use it as a backpack when I'm carrying other items or I can use the handle to carry it like a briefcase. It also comes with a very nice (removable) shoulder strap for complete versatility. The inside is very well padded and includes an extra inside pocket for a tablet. The outside has 3 zippered pockets for carrying items. Inside the larger zippered section are 3 slots for credit cards, a pocket for a cell phone and two areas for pens or pencils. One major bonus is how thin the bag is and how it easily slid under the aircraft seat in front of me. I particularly like the overall appearance of the laptop bag and the way it can transition into a very stylish briefcase for meetings, etc. The backpack shoulder straps tuck into a hidden compartment and the bag becomes very stream lined. Craftsmanship is excellent and it is very well made. I highly recommend it for students or professionals.

    I liked this bag so much that I bought a second one for my son so he can safely take his laptop to college and back. It's secure, has good padding in all the right places, includes multiple slotted locations inside for organizing your laptop, tablet, phone, notebooks, etc... with a few pockets on the front for smaller gear (mouse, power adapter, usb cables, etc...). I also really like that you can convert it back and forth from a backpack to a messenger bag. I usually have mine set up as the backpack, but when I want it in the other mode I just have to disconnect two clips, push the straps into the included zipper pocket that holds them securely, and clip on the shoulder strap. Super simple. I've done it while walking down the street when I was late for my next engagement.

    The three different carry options are great when you are a photographer juggling the laptop and a camera bag. My Lenovo Legion 7 fits wonderfully secure and the charger fits in the smaller zipper pouch readily. PLenty of room for cables, mouse, external drives, pens, notepad and even a second slot for an ipad or other tablet in the main compartment. The zippers feel good and when closed the tabs are not in the way. The material is like a soft denim but does not feel cheap. I see no reason for me to upgrade down the road, this does exactly what I need it to do.
