SwissGear Computer Backpack (Black) Reviews

• very handy for travel

  
  By A2497WUD104IH on 2008-09-16
  I was going to buy a rolling laptop bag, but found this on sale and got it instead. Made my trip so easy! Plenty of room for my laptop and accessories. Plus tons of padding and pockets. I was able to carry extra books, electronics, etc. Sitting in an airplane seat it fit nicely under the seat in front of me and I was able to get to all my toys during the flight. I have used about 6 other laptop bags during travel, but this was definitely the most comfortable, roomy, and easiest to use.
  
  

• nice compartments

  
  By A288OGLEBBRJEF on 2008-10-01
  I just got this bag and when I ordered I was torn between this one and the bigger version of it. It took a while for delivery but, I finally got it today. It is very nice. The material looks and feels very sturdy and there's a lot more room then I thought there was: FYI the laptop area fits my 15.4" laptop (the capability of the screen size to fit this bag was not specified anywhere; and believe me I looked everywhere online). Anyway, there is still room to add a book in the laptop compartment which is the last one (has a lot of padding here). There is another compartment, the middle one, which can fit about 3 folder sized items, and yet another deep compartment in the front with nice zipper/pocket areas. the padding is really comfortable on the straps and the back with "air" circulation noted which I assume is a good thing. Also, note the adjustable straps you see in the picture on each side of the bag; they are extremely useful because when you don't have this bag stuffed with things just tighten it up and it appears to be a smaller bag (which is good for me, since I frequently just carry my laptop). Worth the $35 I paid despite the delayed but free shipping. I think if I would have gotten the bigger version of this bag it would have been too big for my needs. (btw I am replacing a Targus laptop backpack which lasted only about 6 months and now it has a hole that is tearing on a daily basis at the bottom- so if anything I don't recommend targus backpack which I paid $30 for and the material was poor compared to this one and also it is much smaller then this one). This construction feels much stronger and durable then the Targus and I only paid $5 dollars more. Also seems more practical and convenient with the compartments and pockets.
  
  

• LOVE IT!

  Even you put heavy stuff in the bag, you put it on your shoulder. It's light. Amazing! I love it.
  
  

• Really good bag

  
  By A149OJG2Z2WE00 on 2008-10-15
  I think this is a really good bag, as expected from SwissGear. But here are the reason I can't give it a 5 Star:
  
  1) The front compartment is hard to get to because the front zipper has an upward curve, and the compartment are pretty low. Also the material is strong and sturdy.
  
  2) The main compartment is on the small side.
  
  3) This is probably my main complain: it doesn't have a strap that connects the two shoulder pads by your chest, or a waist strap that goes around your waist. Either of these straps would make a bag a lot easier on your back, and more stable to carry. My $15 Old Navy bag pack has this, and it helps a lot! Anyone who goes hiking will tell you that those straps help in carrying heavy bag packs. A work around here is that the straps on this bag has a loop at the end. So you can tie it around it's side of the shoulder strap and bring it to the front and connect the two loops with a carabiner.
  
  

• Good backpack, tight fit for 15.4" widescreen

  
  By A2360YPGPUIX7P on 2008-11-04
  I bought this for a 15.4" widescreen Dell studio 15, and the laptop fit, but it was a bit tight around the top and I had to pull the bag up over the laptop to get the zipper to work.
  Other than that it is a very high quality laptop bag.
  
  
• Just what I needed
  By A20P4979JZI8VE on 2008-11-09
  Exactly what I needed, a comfy black backpack with room for books and a computer. 2 things that would have been nice to know when looking at it though:
  1. The outside pouch for pens/pencils/whatnot only opens accross the top as shown in the picture but it goes all the way down to the bottom of the pocket. Not a big deal, just makes you wish it unzipped a little further.
  
  2. The laptop compartment is a tight squeeze for a standard 15.4" laptop. It fits very snugly, which may not be a bad thing cause it keeps it from rattling around, but the zippers barely make it over the top. Im sure it would fit a centrino or mobile laptop of the same size just fine.
  
  
• Excellent quality, could use a little more capacity
  By A4CD5NJD5GA25 on 2008-10-22
  This backpack is very well built. However, it has a pretty small capacity which makes it difficult for me to carry a few notebooks (paper) and my Dell Latitude D810 (15.4" widescreen).
  
  That being said, I'd buy it again.
  
  
• This backpack exeed my quality to price ratio expectation!!!
  By A2F53AT6RWXQ3U on 2008-11-02
  i ordered two of those, one in black for me and one in pink/red for my wife. they have enough space for a 15.4 laptop (who is not more then 10.2" width so if you have those very old laptops you should measure them before). Usually most laptops will be 10-10.2" width.
  you will also have place for books and notebooks!
  The quality of the materials are very high!!! and the backpack looks realy good.
  Both me and my wife are happy with it. :)
  
  
• Great Backpack
  By AOR89DAJPK33O on 2008-11-12
  I've always trusted SwissGear. My old backpack is a SwissGear and I still have it.
  
  This backpack is great. It holds my 15.4" laptop very well and other things too. My one complaint is though, the compartment where the laptop is placed, the lining has already ripped a bit. It's no big deal though. Overall, great product.
  
  
• Not so good
  By A1X1TJ7BP6CNRE on 2008-10-18
  ok, everything else is not bad, except that it looks like a Fake.
  The symbol is tilted, and the bag is oneside large oneside small.
  If you wanna buy it, just wait until the price goes down more...it will
  
  
• Love it
  By A6TWZLHH95GYS on 2008-10-23
  I feel like I am super cool when carrying this bag biking around campus, plenty of room plus nice quality. Though heavy itself, but it is what this kind of pack like.
  
  Love it, and its style seems never behind
  
  
• Great Build Quality
  By A1AXAX06SUF1QD on 2008-10-24
  Well, this backpack it's just amazing, it fits my needs perfectly. This backpack makes sure that your laptop is safe. But there's only a problem it's kind of small. You only can fit a laptop and probably a textbook with it. Aside from that the backpack is perfect, it has the look and the quality.
  
  
• Great backpack
  By ANOJSNULYJLBB on 2008-10-27
  Quality construction and comfortable to wear. Tons of little details and features. Padding in all the right places and my laptop seems well protected. Great way to carry around your laptop without advertising to the world that you've got something worth stealing.
  
  
• good price
  By A303ZFQXZ1VVTG on 2008-10-28
  this backpack is good to use,i can put computer and books in there, good price!!
  
  
• Great
  By AKUFDC38XOJH8 on 2008-10-31
  I love the backpack. It's well made with all kinds of pockets and storage areas. Any laptop less than 15.5" will fit in a well padded and secure pocket. It's made by the swiss knife people with the same attention to detail and good craftsmanship. Flying with it is so much pleasanter than with a shoulder bag. It fits well under the seat, but most importantly I hardly notice its weight as I rushed long distances to catch my connecting flights. I am strongly recommending it to all my friends - and the price can't be beat.
  
  
• The front zipper is broken.
  By A2KMXSUI206K9D on 2008-10-31
  I got this bag 3 weeks ago, and yesterday the zipper in front of the bag is broken. That means I cannot use the organizer! I liked this bag and wanted to exchange it, but unfortunately it is out of stock now. I have no choice but return it. In my opinion, the front zipper is easy to get broken.
  
  
• Fantastic Deal
  By A1I1OZI9Q1VC6O on 2008-11-02
  This is a nice backpack for your laptop and can be used for any situation. We purchased this for my husband. He travels for business and likes to have the bag on his back. This helps him speed through the airport. The problem is the bags are always so expensive to have a nice black bag for business. This one is perfect price, comfortable and nice looking.
  
  
• Is this a good replacement for my briefcase?
  By A2CLNCK338P2P3 on 2008-11-03
  I was hoping I wouldn't miss my briefcase after buying this backpack ... and I guess I don't. Because it has a lot of room for all kinds of stuff, I do end up filling it needlessly - I guess I just need to clean up a bit. With my laptop in the bag, it does look a bit bulky for daily use for work.
  
  The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't have a chest strap to keep the shoulder straps in place.
  
  
• Great shop
  By A21MHQEII291T1 on 2008-11-04

  I'm very happy with this item.
  I recommend for everyone.
  Thanks

  By A18KD3J3W2QTXW on 2008-11-07
  the bag is small - doesnt have much space inside
  other than that it should be fine

  My Macbook fits comfortably with a textbook and all the necessary items for a student. Looks great. Shipping fast. Will buy again.
  
  
• Perfect for carrying one laptop
  By A36X62A4Q45MY8 on 2008-11-22
  More than this product letting me down, I was let down by my own high expectations from it. I needed a bag ability to carry two laptops.
  When it arrived I felt it was a little small to carry two laptops. It feel heavy and uncomfortable with two Dell Lattitude 630 laptops loaded. However recently I gave up on one laptop and since then the bag seems like a different one. I am enjoying using it.
  Pros: Quality of build looks great.
  Cons: No padding at the bottom so you have to ease the laptop in. (Should have kept some of that bubble wrap it came wrapped up in from Amazon ;)... )
  
  Otherwise this is a good buy, it's a 4 star if you want to use it to carry one laptop and other kinck knacks.
  
  
• its bigger than you think!
  By A33VZOE0EN5VZZ on 2008-11-23
  it was love at first sight.
  
  with the little picture in the A's profile i couldnt imagine how big was this backpack, i was so amazed when was opening the box and saw such a beautiful bpack.
  
  its so confortable and resistant..
  
  dont even mention the ridiculous price i payed for it!
