Perfect Backpack for midsize and smaller laptops. Plenty of space. Very durable construction. Numerous pockets, very comfortable.

I considered the Synergy Backpack or the traditional laptop suitecase and hands down I went with the Synergy. I love the design of the backpack; its really attractive. It fights my 15.4 HP perfectly and protects it well with good amount of padding. A drawback could be that it has too many compartments so it'll take a couple of days to get use to it. It fits all of my books and binder perfectly. It can also hold my water bottles very good. The Synergy BackPack also has a Stablizer which means that it can stand on it's own two feet. The backpack is a bit on the heavy side and kind of big. It doesn't bother me as much after all it fits all of my belongings so it's going to be kind of big and heavy. I like The Synergy backpack it's all-in-one. Some people may not like this type of style, however I find it that it suites me perfectly. I definitely recommend The Swiss Gear Synergy backpack. Enjoy!

Well I bought this backpack to replace another one I had used for many years and was very strong and easy to use. Of course that a Swiss Gear product has a embed promisse of quality and durability. But what really made me choose this back is the lots of different places where I can organize my stuff. And specially when I travel I carry on a lot of stuff, electronic stuff. That said, I have to recognize that so far the replacement has been better than the replaced unit. I may miss the lateral opening I had before but most of the times the use that I do is the regular (top) one.

large backback with many pocket to carry much! So far is holding up better than many others I have had. Definitely recommend!

Great backpack--highly recommend. The laptop protection and comfort are the best I have experienced.

My girlfriend bought me this back pack because I am a mobile DJ. This bag fits my Dell Vostro 1000 (with 15.4" screen), but Serato Scratch Live box, my external hard drive, headphones, cables for all of the above, backup CD's, and there is still plenty of room for more!!! The straps are very comfortable around your shoulders and the reinforced handle on the top reassured you that it will not tear when lifting a loaded backpack. I didn't realize the price was somewhat high when she purchased it, but I will definetly contest that it is WORTH IT!

Love the Swiss gear brand for back backs. There is lots of room to put things and is great to use as a carry on for travel.

I read such great revies on this product and was excited to get it! I have an Alienware 15.4" laptop which is larger than normal notebooks so I was concerned about it fitting in its padded pouch. I was pleased to find that it fit snugly. And there's tons of space for whatever else I could imagine. A really nice aesthetic feature it the fact that even if you don't have much in the pack it won't loose its cool shape! This is due to its super tough materials.

This backpack has so much space, is super strong and is cosmetically nice as well!

Great pads for my shoulders and back! Keeps me energized while carry it even though if its heavy.

Bought this for my son for school and he couldn't be happier. I normally wouldn't pay this much for a backpack but he researched backpacks until he found exactly what he was looking for and this was it. To be honest it feels a little early to give it 5 stars as I can't really judge its durability until it's been used for a few years. It looks very well build and I'm trusting that its price is a direct reflection of its quality.

I got my first one about three years ago and I just love it. I travel a lot and I've test drive mine to extremely tough conditions and it came out victorious every time. Made out of high quality materials so durable. Zippers would last for ever. Got two of these for my boys as they are starting college soon. Highly recommended!

I've found it has been able to fit everything I might need while in class or visiting my parents. You can fit your laptop, the cords+mouse, any of your text books + calculators, pencils and everything else. It also stands on its own eliminating the issue of having to lean it on something or set it on a chair. Unfortunately it was quite expensive (90 dollars) and tends to feel quite large on your back. It is something you would get used to after using the backpack for awhile. I would only recommend this to someone who really needed to haul their laptop and text books around due to the inconveniences of the size. But if that's you and you're willing to spend 90 dollars on a backpack than this just might be the backpack for you.

I've used this bag for about four months now. It is heavy duty and holds a ton of stuff. I really like the way it looks compared to other bags in this price range.

I bought this to replace a laptop backpack I received from the Micros`oft Tech-Ed conference in 92. I really liked that backpack, but after 20 years it needed to be replaced. I found the Swiss Gear laptop to be even better. Hope to get at least 20 maybe 30 years use out of it.....

I've been using the bag for a couple of weeks and the only problem I've found with it is that the velcro for the strap on the laptop pocket attaches to the accessory pouch in the back liner when the strap is not being used. I could see that making a hole after a few months of use. If they had swapped the velcro locations so that the hooks were on the strap and the loops were on the pocket, it wouldn't happen. Other than that, it's a solid bag, rigid enough to stand up on its own when empty, and padded enough that I feel like all my gear is safe when using it.

Admittedly, this bag hasn't gotten as much use since the pandemic, but when I was commuting via train, this worked perfectly for me. It held my laptop and 10 inch tablet with plenty of room for other stuff. I didn't have a dedicated desk at work, so I used this as my mobile work station. I also used the side pockets-one for my travel coffee mug and the other for my overnight oats container.

It's expensive, but worth it. I'm tech heavy and usually have to carry a combination projector/laptop/books and this manages all of it (usually I have to carry the projector in a separate bag in the past). It's simply luxuriously huge while having enough dividers to stay organized (there are 3 large main pockets I use).

I love this backpack! I use it everyday to carry my laptop and books, and during the summer i dump the office supplies and use it for vacations and trips to the lake. Its comfortable, stylish, there are pockets for everything. Only problem is that my dog got a hold of the top strap, but I still use it.

Using it daily for over a month. Very happy with the purchase-$65, for a great value. Very sturdy, fits 15.6" laptop widescreen(will not fit 17" widescreen), multiple slots for books, accessories, extra padded, easy to carry over a shoulder, external bottle pockets which could be used for other items too.
