Customer Ratings & Reviews

This backpack is everything I need in a backpack. It is big enough to store everything I need When I leave the house, though it is not bulky. It provides enough protection for my laptop and comes fully equipped with enough compartments to organize and store my belongings. It is cost effective and I would highly recommend trying it.

This is one one of the best backpack I have ever purchased. This is the second time I am buying this same bag. The one I bought sometime in 2018 is still in good shape but for some normal wear and tear which one would expect after 8 years of usage. If you want something that is durable and can last for years then go for this bag. The bag also has several compartments including that for your laptop. I used it my last year of college and have used it for work and travel

This is one of the best backpack brands I have ever used! I initially purchased this backpack because I have owned a previous swiss gear back pack which I used monday through friday for 3 years at college, and I loved it. It withstood a decent amount of weight being put in it (college books and backpacks), and abuse such as being thrown around and it has still held up great to this day. This is the new version of the backpack I purchased a few years ago and I think I love this one even more than my last one. It has a great amount of padding to protect both my laptop and my surface tablet, the quality of the sewing/fabric is one of the best I have seen on a backpack, and lastly this backpack is meant to stand up straight so it doesn't constantly tip over when you set it down. I would highly suggest this backpack over even majority of the more expensive brands, as I know it holds up to more than regular wear and tear.

The price is right about what you expect to pay for a bag like this. Tons of space to make organizing a snap. Easy access pockets for things like boarding passes, keys, iPhone, etc. I have a 15" MacBook Pro that fits perfectly. I usually carry the bag with just one strap over my shoulder...works great, doesn't slide off. Super durable, too.

You can pack your entire office, except for your inkjet printer, in this backpack and still have room left over. Everything can be easily stored and accessed in the numerous pockets offered by this pack. Some of the pockets are well padded to protect fragile equipment and all external openings are secured by excellent quality, nylon zippers. There are even areas for carrying water bottles and your music player (complete with a rubber grommet for your headphone cable). Pens, pencils, note pads each have their place (along with areas for books and papers). This backpack holds my laptop, books, power converters, Web-hub, mouse, cell phone, laptop desk, program CD's, water and lunch. All individually stored, easily accessible, and well protected. The well constructed and engineered shoulder straps are adequately padded and easily adjusted so that you can effortless bring your office along as you travel throughout your day. So much easier to use than the "shoulder-bag" I spent $60+ for a couple of years ago.

This bag has so much room it's amazing. There are a lot of pockets for everything. Sometimes I forget which pocket I put things in. My 15in laptop fits easily with all of the accessories. You could still get a set of overnight clothes in there. Straps are well padded as well as the back. It sits pretty flat with a little weight in the middle compartment.

Love this backpack and bought it to carry 2 laptops for when going to events to help livestream broadcast. Has an endless amount of pockets and space and is super light. Highly recommend!

I bought this backpack for my work computer while I was on travel to eliminate the additional carry on. It’s roomy enough for the laptop, charger, accessories and my personal items-iPad, book, purse. All this with out feeling weighed down. It’s holding up well for the constant travel and the in and out of the laptop on a constant basis.

Love the tech/laptop compartment. Very sturdy with lots of space, making it great for traveling. Reinforced bottom, shoulder straps and metal handle. Laptop compartment is very well cushioned at the bottom and sides (I don’t feel the need to get a sleeve for my MacBook Pro). All around great backpack, the only con that I would point out it’s the size, some people might not like it for daily use since it’s kinda big, and if you plan to use it just for carrying your laptop, a notepad and a water bottle this might not be the best choice.

This is my second purchase of this laptop backpack. My first one was in 2007. This laptop bag has been phenomenal! After 10 years of use, it is still in excellent condition and has protected my laptop around the globe. While the bag is only advertised for a single laptop, at times I have comfortably and safely fit two 15" laptops into the bag. It also has plenty of room for books, accessories, water bottles, as well as a super-padded compartment for cell phones or other delicate items. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the carrying handle is also comfortable to carry. Also, the carrying handle is reinforced with a plastic-clad steel cable, which I have used in securing the bag to my laptop security cable. The SwissGear bag is top quality workmanship and durability. The only reason for this purchase is that I purchased a new laptop and my old bag is rather dirty on the exterior from all the use over the years, so I purchased a new bag for the new laptop. I do not, however, intend to get rid of my old laptop bag. It will be used to store my old laptop and to act as an "emergency" bag, should someone else need to borrow it. I HIGHLY recommend this bag!!!!

This is my second Swiss Gear backpack. The first one lasted over ten years and made many trips all over the world. This new backpack is made with the same rugged materials, and I like the shape nad layout even better than the old one. There are lots of storage areas, and computers are kept very safe. You could not ask for a better pack for the price.

I had the exact bag previously and bought another one just like it because of how well my previous backpack held up. The only reason I replaced it was because of regular wear. I travel 50+ weeks a year and this backpack is great for navigating the airports while still being able to access what you need quickly.

I've only had this for a few months but I can tell it will hold up for a long time. It easliy holds a iPad, Thinkpad, chargers, miscellaneous cables, pens, business cards and much more. I can actually fit 2 laptops in this case without much trouble. The straps and nicely padded and distribute the weight well.

Pros: Feels great on the back, distributes weight and is padded well. Lots of pockets to keep everything organized. Excellent laptop pocket. Cons: With a laptop, a textbook, and a couple notebooks (the paper kind), it becomes difficult to access most pockets because it doesn't expand much at all. This is Still the best backpack I've ever owned.

Plenty of pockets and well organized. Very sturdy, well thought out design. Highly recommend.

I recently purchased a laptop and I wanted to purchase a backpack that will protect it whenever I want to bring it somewhere. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but it's definitely worth the investment because it's protecting my laptop. Comfortable to walk with and has so many different compartments. Overall, quality backpack.

The backpack is designed to hold a good amount of books, perfect for the graduate student. There are several smaller pockets for organizing pens, planners, tech. There is also a pocket for lunch...but is a bit on the small side (I carry my lunch in a separate cooler bag)

Protects your laptop well. Has lots of pockets for your accessories. Get a distinct bag tag as you will see many other travelers with this bag. Nice front zipper pocket to hold passport and other travel documents securely. This was a replacement for same bag I finally retired after about 10 years of use.

Good Quality, plenty of room, zippers functions well, sufficient padding to protect computer.

This is my second Swiss Gear pack in 5 yrs. 1st bag is still good but a little worn and wanted to upgrade. The Synergy improved upon it's sturdiness and functionality. Great bag for everyday use yet large enough to meet the needs for travel as well. There are plenty of pockets and sleeves throughout to keep things organized and you prepared for any endeavor not requiring a suitcase. I highly recommend. There are cheaper packs but none that match this one in quality. Versatile enough to be used for work, school, day pack, light camping and carry on for plane trips. So many pockets and sleeves it'll keep the TSA inspectors challenged at the airport foIr sure.
