Samsonite - Tectonic PFT Laptop Backpack - Black/Red

At 1st thought wouldn't hold 17" laptop, but the helpful assoc showed me the laptop sleeve was adjustable, so it holds from a 11" to a 17" laptop very securely . I also noticed the next largest compartment could hold another 17" laptop , as well. There is also a myriad of pockets & sleeves in the accessory compartment. This is my new gig bag for my sound engineer electronics. Very convenient when I ride my Harley! ( I just recommend Velcro to hold down the adjustment loops or they"ll beat you to death at highway speeds!)

Went to my local Best Buy today to get a 17 inch laptop backpack for my new MSI GT70 2PC Dominator 895 that I also bought through my local Best Buy. I first settled on a Swissgear Ibex whom when I called said it would fit my laptop. So I bought it, and when I got home and put my laptop in it, it didn't fit. I took it back not 10 minutes later. This time bringing my laptop to test bags with it to make sure I found one that fit. I finally settled on this Samsonite bag, which is built nicely. Although being a previous Swissgear owner, I wished that I could have gone for another, due to the fact that I am sure we all know how durable they are, how well built and rugged they are, how strong they are as well. However, knowing that Samsonite was another great brand, and the quality of this bag is very close to the Swissgear Ibex that I was looking at previously. I went with it. Not to mention, I got it at less than half price! $100 backpack on sale at the local store for $68, then price matched at new egg for $45. I must say, I am very happy with both this backpack, and with Best Buy's price match guarantee!

I really wanted to give this one 5 stars. I read the reviews and determined this was a good choice. However, after less than 2 months of almost daily use, the stitching is coming apart on the shoulder strap. Don't get me wrong, it has pockets in the right sizes and places. It has a sturdy bottom for when you need to set it down. It is lightweight. The padding is good. I just wish the stitching was a bit more durable/had better workmanship. *See attached photo*

I bought this bag not even two months ago and the threading along the top of the bag is coming apart and i do not even move it much maybe four times a day. I like the size and ease of loading and unloading just disappointed in the quality.

I took this bag with me to Paris for a business meeting and have not stopped using it since. Holds all my gear with easy access and still provides room for a change of clothes for the gym. I can fit enough to take a toiletry bag and another change of clothes to be used after a shower. I have no trouble finding what I need inside due to it exceptional organization. I carry a full-size laptop for work and a Chromebook for personal use and the adjustments make it easy to have a perfect fit for either device. I still can carry my Nexus 7 with no trouble at all regardless of which laptop I am carrying. It is a very comfortable bag with good padding and comfortable straps. I really find the bag to be top notch.

I have had this laptop bag over a month now and have been nothing but pleased and surprised by it. First, for the biggest item most people care about: I have a new 17" Alienware laptop for work, and this bag fits it. The back section the laptop fits in has two side flaps that fold over and velcro onto the center flap that folds up from the bottom. This allows you to fit the section to the machine you have, and it works great. Additionally, the back section is TSA friendly, so you can unzip the bag and lay the laptop flat at security without taking it completely out, which saves a ton of time. I travel frequently and this makes it so much better. When I travel I normally bring my personal Zenbook with me as well, and this bag has a second pocket in the middle that is designed for tablets and smaller laptops that works great for this. In fact, this bag has tons of space in it. I carry a travel router, travel mouse, Chromecast, multi-port USB wall charger, several USB, HDMI, and DP cords, a couple video adapters, business cards, several pens, headphones, and sunglasses. And a NVidia Shield Portable (have to pass time on planes). Everything has a spot in this bag, and it feels secure. There is a separate section at the top just for headphones - the big studio type - and this spot works great for sunglasses cases as well. All of this stuff makes the bag a good heft, but it's not uncomfortable, thanks to a well padded back and straps. I wish it had a chest strap, but it's not uncomfortable without it. It also has two top handles: one well padded one for lifting and carrying, and a second non-padded that is attached to the back section to aid in lifting the bag up after unzipping the TSA friendly back compartment to close the bag back up. I got this on sale for a great deal right before a flight, and I am blown away by how much bag I got for the price. Event at full price it's a great buy, but catch it on sale, and you shouldn't ignore it.

I bought this backpack to replace my laptop briefcase. I use it primarily for work, both everyday and occasional travel. I also use it for personal travel. It has more than enough storage space, and still fits under an airplane seat fully loaded. The design accommodates multiple electronic devices well, as it has dedicated compartments for laptops, tablets, phones, and accessories. I was initially hesitant to buy this because of the price, but I have no regrets whatsoever. Great buy!

Due to ongoing back issues I needed to dump my amazing but hefty Ativa MobileIT bag. This backpack really fit the bill. The adjustable laptop pocket securely holds my 13" ultrabook. The lay-flat feature is a MUST for anyone who travels by air these days, though I have not gotten to test it yet. The separate tablet pocket is very handy to protect my iPad. The backpack is not loaded down with pockets and compartments like my old case, but it has plenty of slots for pens, business cards, etc. The neat headphone pocket is really nice if you have a pair of good headphones to lug around and don't want them banging around against your books, clothes, or other tech. The padding on the straps and the cooling features are great: I can carry this thing around in 90-degree Tennessee heat and not feel so much as a drop of sweat. The only regret I have is that I did not have one of these in college or law school!
