Amazon BasicsAmazonGear Laptop Backpack

Now that I've been using this for the past 7-8 months or so, decided to leave my thoughts on it.I bought this as I used to lug around a laptop carry case that I was given from work, that I hated using. So I bought this to replace it as I wanted something easier and more comfortable to walk around with, easier to travel with long distance and have more storage.First of all, all things considered, especially the price, this thing really delivers.The bag has a fairly large laptop slot/pouch in the back section with some padding front and back. The largest laptop I use in this regularly is a 15 inch laptop and it fits no problem with some extra room. I haven't tested with anything larger but I would say 17 inch should fit, if a bit snug. In this section there is also a slot/pouch for a tablet or documents. In front of this (still in the same back section) there is still a decently sized section for another tablet, large headphones with case or chargers etc.Moving into the next section, there is a single full size section that can be used for a tablet, documents or even another laptop. I've seen myself with my 15 inch laptop in the back section, then my 13 inch laptop in this section with no problems at all. I also keep things like laptop chargers, various cables, camera, headphones etc in here from time to time. Very good size.Also work noting the 2 largest sections have clips that are to stop a laptop accidentally falling out when you open it, however these are actually really good for keeping the zips secure and away from unwanted hands!Moving forward into the 3rd largest pocket, there is a medium size pocket, perfect again for chargers, headphones and other accessories. I keep many cables I use at work (systems engineer) such as network cables, display cables etc. I've also used this for a DSLR camera and case and fits snugly. However no padding between this section and the 2nd section so keep valuables/breakables in cases!Into the very front pocket and this is where you keep all your small items. I keep my wireless mouse, 2 sets of earbuds, pens, battery bank, memory sticks, portable hard drive and a fair few other things in here. The front does have some padding to protect the bag from getting bashed at the front and a few little different slots inside. You can fit quite a bit in here and is a good size again.There is also a slot in between the back sections for putting something small like a mobile phone.The build quality has been excellent, no issues with mine so far and seems very durable. There is a nice strong handle on the top which I always use and has no problems, even when I have 2 laptops, tablet and other things in it. No problem even with quite a bit of weight.The straps can be subjective but I feel they have a decent amount of padding, I've had no problem walking around for extended periods with quite a bit of weight.The back has some breathable material and again some padding to keep your back from sweating when using for longer periods.If I had one complaint about it it would be that there could be more padding in-between the pockets. However I then consider the price and I really can't complain when I compare to some other much more expensive products.Overall, fantastic product, so glad I bought one. If you want a simple looking, yet excellently build and feature rich laptop bag, I can't recommend it enough at this price.

Excellent value for money, this rucksack has numerous zip pockets and compartments and is well made with tough material. Ideal as a laptop bag for a regular commute or a day/overnight hiking trip.

Got this on a lightening sale for 18 quid. Arrived next day. Nice size for A4 pads, laptops UP TO 17 inches (clue's in the title people!). The compartment nearest your back has been specifically designed for the laptop, by the looks of it. Outer material feels sturdy and water resistant, with a nicely padded back. Five zipped compartments, all full bag depth, with several further divided internally. Straps feel nice and strong, with circular "hooks" on each end, which is a nice little detail. My only very minor gripe (if gripe, I must), is that the side (mesh) pockets are a wee bit small. Would be great if a big bigger or at least one was a zip style, for easy to access items. Great value for money, even if you don't get in sale, compared to many of the branded bags. Recommended. If you're looking for something sturdier, my recommendation is the Mil-Tec 36L army tactical blah, blah. Stupid name, but a 5-star buy, in my opinion, which I have also bought and reviewed on AMZ.

Great bag, very sturdy, plenty of room and well padded.

Purchased mine in late 2014 as a stop-gap until I found a bag I wanted, and have been using every day for the last 3 years. Walked with it for plenty of miles, cycled with it - it's so far been a workhorse that's outperformed what I paid for it. There's enough storage space to use it as your only luggage for a long weekend away without much of a problem (I've carried laptop, chargers for phone etc, toiletries, towel, 3 days of clothes, and still had space for a few souvenirs).Externally, it's still in great condition - very slight wear on the bottom, but otherwise no visible signs of age. An occasional wipe with a damp cloth has been enough to keep it looking great. Padding is a little flatter than it was on purchase, but still comfortable to use on an everyday basis.Internally, the lining's bottom stitching between the outermost compartments failed after a couple of years - this isn't too bad a repair job if you're capable with a needle and thread though - and I haven't bothered as it hasn't actually affected the usage of the bag itself.Functionally, the storage options are good - padded laptop section that's enough to carry a decent variety of laptops/tablets (though you'll struggle if you've got a big 17" desktop-replacement), enough separate storage for charger, etc. The outermost section has a few little pockets - standard sort of things you'd expect like a velcro'd pouch, some pen loops and small pockets. Externally, there's the usual mesh pocket on each side - not terribly long, so you might have issues with larger drinks bottles, but large enough to hold a drinks can or a rain-cover for the rucksack.The main compartments (3 of them) are reasonably spacious - you've got the "main" section (where the laptop pocket is) and a smaller one that's suitable for stuffing loose items into. There's also a fully opening section, which I've found large enough to contain clothes for a long weekend's holiday without any issue. This collapses down to almost nothing if you tighten up clip-straps on the side as well, so if you're not using the bag for much, it's slimmer than you might think.Overall - it's not exactly a pretty bag, but it's functional and durable - especially for the price. If you want something to take out on the town, it's probably not for you. But if you want something to handle work/school for a few years, it'll do you well.
