Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this backpack to travel with my 17.3" laptop. I originally had a sleeve, but found I could carry little else. It is hard to find a bag, any bag, bigger enough for a 17 inch screen, but this really does the job. It would also work with a much smaller laptop thanks to the adjustable pocket for the computer. It has room enough for cords, books, clothes, headphones and even a tablet. I would recommend this bag to friend or family, but I would shop around for a good price.

Bought this bag to protect my tech while I work, I work mostly in production plants and build shops where tech this fragile should be held with care. The backpack looks rugged and strong, it feels like it too but with some substantial amount of comfort for your back. The bag is able to hold plenty of tools and keep your stuff safe:)

This is the 2nd one of these backpacks we have bought! My husband owns one and now my college son has one also. It is an excellent backpack. Very well made and holds so much more than you would think. Another nice thing about it is the thumb pulls on the straps that make it super easy to adjust the straps once you have it on. We highly recommend this backpack and will be buying a 3rd one for our next son when he heads to college next fall.

I was in the market for a backpack. The one I had did not provide enough padding for my laptop. My co-worker suggested this one and I am very pleased. It's big enough to carry two laptops or tablets. Great cushioning to protect your devices. Additionally it has lots of space for things. Great for weekend trips where you don't want to carry a suitcase. I also found this to be a great value as well. Get this bag, you will not be disappointed

Good size. Lots of pockets. Great quality. It’s a strong and comfortable one

The quality on the backpacks is unmatched. Always keeps laptop safe and convenient to carry around. Though very expensive, for the quality its worth it.

My plunge into the laptop backpack world was in part necessitated by the need for more storage. Yet I did not want to sacrifice protection for my top technology tool, nor wind up carrying a heavy rock that made me look like a hiker or a nerd. The SwissGear Synergy Laptop Backpack covered all of my bases, and has been a joy to carry and use for trips and meetings. This is the one to go with if you want a laptop backpack.

Needed to replace a Swiss Gear computer backpack that had lasted a long time but needed replacement. Needed a sturdy one with to handle rough treatment and a lot of travel. So far it's been great, I like the reinforced handle, all the pockets although there might be too many. Protects the laptop well. Have taken several trips, comfortable to carry, will recommend to others.

Lots of storage, tough and rugged. The only thing they got wrong is that most of the zippers only open one direction instead of split opening (as in center). If you don't zip securely you could lose your stuff!

Bought this to upgrade from an old bag from last school years. Also bough a Surface. This bag feels solid yet relatively lite weight. Can hold my iPad, Surface, associated cables, portable hard drive, mouse, phone, large coiled teacher planner, small planner, textbook for the class I teach, snacks, and a change of clothes with no issue.

I upgraded from a thrift store $2 pack. I thought this one was a little expensive, but I really like it. Lots of pockets plus good protection for my laptop make it a really good choice for me. It's barely big enough for my lunch in the main compartment--it's a little small--but it fits. I like the shock-absorbing straps. It seems like really durable pack. Turns out it's very worth the money.

This backpack is very sturdy and spacious. The additional padding is great too.

Love this bag. I have been using one for the past 5 years for work laptop. It has plenty of storage and the fabric is super durable. Bought this one for my high schooler after other bags couldn’t handle the weight of the textbooks.

This bag was purchased as a replacement for my original nearly identical bag which lasted 13 years and is still very usable. I travel with my computer and accessories daily to multiple worksites and the convivence of all the storage as well as the durability makes this an awesome choice for anyone.

The size and style are perfect for my needs. The bottom and back of the backpack is made out of heavy duty material that should prolong its life. I use this for work and needed something durable that would hold up to being tossed around and in general take a lot of abuse from me and the environment it's used in. Only time will tell but based on the material I think I will be good with this for a few years

I absolutely love this backpack! It's so good that after using my first one daily for about 8 years until it wore out, I just had to get the same one again. I looked around for other options, but none could match the quality and comfort of this one. Highly recommend it if you're in the market for a durable, versatile and reliable backpack!

I tried out most of the backpacks in my local Best Buy store and picked out this bag since it seemed the most comfortable. Then I stuffed it full of my laptop, books, files & personal belongings before flying coast-to coast. After carrying on board seven flights, the heavy bag fit easily under the seat in front, fit in the overhead bins and was pretty easy to carry throughout the various airports. Highly recommended.

Overall very pleased with the purchase for daily use for work. Good number of pockets, the laptop section is great, and overall the weight is good too. I feel many backpacks have started using lesser quality materials so waiting to see how long this one lasts.

This is virtually the same as the backpack it replaced, thus I don't have to reorganize the stuff I regularly carry. Improvements are primarily the very smooth operating zippers (not that the old bag had a problem) and an added pouch for a tablet right next to the laptop pouch. The compartment where you would put pens and such no longer has a soft-lined pocket (I used to store a hi-res audio player in it), but that's a minor quibble. The side zippered pockets are tall enough to hold a compact umbrella -- some backpacks lack that.

I needed a new laptop bag and went to Best Buy to see the selection. I found the Swissgear Synergy to be a great selection as it had a many pockets and compartments as well as hold the laptop securely in place protecting it from damage. The backpack style is better for long carries because it evenly distributes the weight across your shoulders instead of hanging off one arm. I recommend this bag for anyone needed a good laptop bag.
