Had this backpack for a few years now and it's held up well. Lots of space, good for work and school. I've taken it traveling on long trips and it's held up and has a good amount of space for all my things. There is some nice padding around the slot where you can put your laptop or other device. It's taken a few spills off my table/counter and no damage to my laptop which is nice. The zipper is only now starting to break a little bit but it still holds up for the most part. I haven't found much use for the charging ports that come with it, but maybe someone else would. Very nice and functional backpack. Worth it in my opinion.

Honestly, this backpack is so completely deserving of 5 stars that it makes me question other 5-star ratings I've given in the past -- I guess you could say the bar has been raised! And I say that even as there's one smallish detail that I personally don't love (but you might), which I'll come back to... but still, even more than I thought possible, I absolutely love this backpack! To get at least a general idea of why, browse to the Austere Grey 15.6" and check out the 7th image, actually a video. To that, I would just add... - There are perfect-sized mesh drink-holder type pockets on *both* sides (because why do some manufacturers skimp even on that?!) - The ring he hooks keys to has a quick-release button built in, as well! which also snaps really nicely back into place... It really is the little things! - And just to highlight, for the external USB port, there's a built-in cable on the inside you can plug your USB charger into, which connects to the external port you can leave your phone / whatever connected to without having to open any pockets (and here again the mesh pockets on both sides comes in handy). And of and when you don't want to use that, there's no real downside: the built-in cable is completely out of the way, and you won't likely even notice the external port, which BTW doesn't appear to negate the overall "seal" of the thing either, except *maybe* if you were to hold the entire thing underwater. :) The one smallish detail I would change, though, is that external port: it just happens to be USB-A while I'd prefer USB-C, for quicker charging... obviously not the hugest issue, and some might even prefer it that way. Personally, I'm seriously considering a bit of after-market "surgery" to "fix" this, which likely translates to having a pro unstitch and remove the port & internal cable, then stitch a (possibly 3D-printed?) replacement port into place. I wouldn't normally even consider that sort of "headache," but when the backpack overall is easily nicer than anything else I've found, even for 2x or 3x the price, it's suddenly really easy to make an exception. What else... - Something like 15 pockets? Which almost sounds overboard, but it's really not. Many are "optional" & otherwise out of the way, anyway -- just really well-distributed storage goodness! Oh, and the pen holders actually (easily) fit my completely normal-sized pens, unlike the new LL Bean bag I so promptly returned after getting this one. And the "security pocket" on the bottom, the side facing you as your wear it? Absolutely genius! - The zippers having been what finally gave out on the 20+ year old LL Bean bag I replaced, I'm a bit more conscious now of "initial zipper quality," and these seem just as solid as they come: totally sturdy, while also zipping surprisingly nicely & smoothly :) But perhaps that's a moot point anyway, considering the... - LIFETIME GUARANTEE! I hadn't realized this until mine arrived, but there's a card inside that says you can replace for any defect, for life! - The sizes refer to the size of laptop that would easily fit inside. That said, even a 17" laptop might still fit inside my 15.6" bag, just pretty snugly, but I wouldn't chance it. - if you do a lot of traveling, you might also want to consider the max size of a "personal item" on your favorite airline(s)... - The 14" is 16 x 12 x 7.5 inches - The 15.6" is 18 x 12 x 7.8 inches - The 17" is 19 x 13.75 x 7.8 inches - The 18" is... not sure! (but apparently those can actually fit up to an 18.4" laptop, which is huge!) For reference, a free "personal item" on JetBlue is up to 17 x 13 x 8 inches, making even the 15.6" technically the tiniest bit too large, but that said I'd be absolutely shocked if even the 17" got so much as a second glance on 1/100 flights (maybe a little more likely if you're flying on Spirit or Frontier, in which case WTH were you thinking, anyway?). In any case, the 17" would almost certainly fit under any seat, even on the most budget of "budget" airlines. TL;DR: I very rarely review anything, and I'm also not one to own multiple backpacks, especially not "just 'cause," but these are so perfect, not to mention affordable, that I've found myself happily doing both!

This backpack was purchased for my first spring semester at college this year. If you're looking for something with a sturdy variety of pockets then this is the backpack for you! The many pockets are a great feature. I can take my wallet, 13'' MacBook, 3 heavy textbooks, phone, and other supplies if needed. It has 3 big sections, which come in handy for my laptop and books. I feel that it is roomy enough to take just what I need. There is a hidden pocket in the back and a couple in the front. The zippers seem sturdy enough and fine (Although, I wouldn't tug on them too hard with Hulk strength, haha!) There isn't much else to say because this backpack is of great quality, I can feel the texture as well, it's smooth and you can tell it's waterproof, which is an added plus. It's a decent size overall, and it fits comfortably on my back (I haven't even adjusted the straps yet!) I chose the pretty minty/blueish-green color. The picture matches the product as well. Worth the buy! :)

UPDATE Oct 2024: This backpack made it through several trips without incident. The zippers have stayed intact and there has been no signs of wear. My only complaint at this point is that if you completely fill the backpack, it will not fit under a small (normal) airplane seat. I had to remove my jacket and purse from the backpack + remove the drink I had in the side mesh pocket in order to get it to fit. Kind of a bummer, but I’ll definitely get a lot of use out of this backpack regardless. Just know that you won’t be able to stuff it and still get it to fit under the seat. I have had the smaller version of this backpack for over 3 years and it has held up through a ton of travel (like I spent more time in airports than I spent at home kind of travel) and through me filling it way past capacity. Not a single zipper has broken and it barely has any signs of wear. I tried putting a keyboard and a larger 17" laptop in there and was super bummed when they didn't fit. I was SO excited to find out that there's a 17" version of the backpack I've loved since March 2021 and I immediately bought it, even though the price was a bit steep. For reference, I bought the smaller one for $22 and this one was $42.89. I received it today and it looks pretty much the same. Here's the side by side comparison: - (PRO) The 17" bookbag has all the same compartments/pockets/you-name-its as the 15.6" bag. It has a spacious pocket/compartment for everything you could possibly need to pack but it's not so spacious that it's bulky. Even the larger version seems like a good size for shoving under an airplane seat. -(PRO) Both sizes have this but I think it's worth mentioning. I've seen a lot of bookbags with fabric pockets on either side and I'm here to say that those are a dealbreaker for me. As a frequent traveler, I use those pockets for drinks, both large (large can of sparkling water or a 1 liter bottle) and small. The fabric pockets don't have any give and I am usually not able to get a drink in there. The stretchy mesh pockets that this bookbag has is *chefs kiss* perfection. - (PRO) The section that your laptop goes in zips all the way down on the larger/17" version. No more digging through a completely packed bookbag for that small item I carelessly tossed in the bottom. My 15.6" laptop bag doesn't have that feature and I didn't know I needed it. -(CON) The front horizontal pocket on the small version is 10.5" deep (goes all the way to the bottom of the backpack) and the large version is 6.5" deep. I would've liked to have the deeper pocket on the larger backpack but it will still work fine for what I need. -(CON and this is a major one) Right out of the packaging, it was obvious that there is a major difference in zipper quality between these two backpacks. I took the plastic off of the 17" backpack and the zipper on the hidden pocket (the pocket that goes against your back) was zipped shut but was open in the middle. I fixed it for now but I'm not confident that it will hold up. I definitely won't be trusting that pocket with my passport or money, which is what it was meant for. The zipper in the front pocket where your phone, pens, etc go was doing the same thing and the zipper is noticeably smaller than the one on my 15.6" laptop. This is a big one and if any of the exterior zippers do this again, I'll be returning it. I'll be traveling in a week and will give it a go with the larger size backpack but I'm bringing my smaller one just in case the entire thing breaks loose and I find myself picking up all of my stuff from the floor in the TSA line. *cue panic attack* Will update my review afterwards.
