Best laptop backpack I've found at Revain

Revain lists tens of thousands of laptop backpacks. Most of them have strange names like Lekesky, Modoker and Bopai. I have no idea what these companies are or where they come from. Targus is at least a well-known manufacturer of computer accessories (although probably made in the same factory as Lekesky et al.). I need a well-padded, durable backpack for commuting and occasional air travel (very rare since the pandemic). I have tried several other backpacks, notably from Swiss Gear. Too many hooks and loops and attachment points for things I don't need and not enough padding. The minimal content is the biggest complaint about the packages I've tried. This backpack is well padded and offers good protection for your computer. Unlike so-called TSA-compliant backpacks, you have to take the computer out of the backpack when walking barefoot at the airport, which is not a big problem for me. This backpack offers the best combination of padding and pockets I've found, with the fewest silly, annoying "features" like lunch box hangers, water bottle pockets, key rings, and fold-down inspection ports for TSA border patrol officers. . There are also disadvantages: (1) the inside of the pack is black, making it difficult to find small items; Yellow, silver, or a light color would be preferred; (2) You can have any color you want as long as it is black and silver; Exterior colors are dull and unimaginative; and (3) a large metallic Targus logo on the back of the box, indicating to the casual observer (thief?) that there is a computer inside; a less prominent logo would have been preferable. The last Targus backpack I owned was the precursor to this model. He died about three years later from frayed stitching at the shoulder strap junction and two broken zippers. I don't expect more from this package. However, this remains the best I've found. At this price I don't expect great quality or durability.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Infuriates
