    Light Weight Laptop bag, a Pure Value for Money

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this during Thanksgiving, then the lowest price I could find. I use it every day for work and commuting. It's incredibly convenient and easy to carry, fitting my laptop and a few other items. Only negative is not good for carrying heavy items or multiple notebooks.

    Good enough for the price.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pretty nice for the price ($12). The backpack is NOT too notch. For the price, I am satisfied with the material and the construction. The zippers are a little weak but quality is acceptable. The bag is light weight and seemed flimsy while I picked it up in the store. Once I loaded the bag with a laptop and paper pads, I feel better about its quality. Caution: the laptop pocket bottom is too deep/close to the backpack bottom. A thin cushion strip should be added otherwise the computer can get banged when setting the backpack on hard surface.

    I love my new blue backpack!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This backpack was luckily 50% off when I bought a new chromebook. I snatched up the blue color one and it packs my chromebook and cords beautifully, with plenty of room for several days worth of clothing and toiletries if need be, or for daily necessities. Two water bottle mesh pockets carry your hydration and multiple pockets organize your belongings perfectly. For the price I give it 10 stars! It's a basic that you can use year after year for so many purposes.
