Review on πŸŽ’ Everki EKP118: The Ultimate Backpack for 14.1 Inch Laptops by Gina Abbott

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It has a beautiful design, lots of pockets and great features

I have to admit I have a bit of an OCD when it comes to backpacks for work. I travel a lot and use the REI Outdoor Products PowerPack 3. It's a nice design, lots of pockets and nice features, but poor quality for a low price (about 6 zippers) and easy-to-tear material. Also looks like the proverbial turtle on its back, not very professional. I then went on a search and sometimes bought and returned high-quality bags from Timbuk2, Eagle Creek, Tumi, eBags and Osprey. Each of them had drawbacks for me in terms of organization, weight, too many unnecessary waist and chest straps, etc. I bought the Everki Studio slim and so far so good. Slim and compact but holds and organizes everything I need. Hidden back pockets and hidden mesh pockets are nice touches. The overall look and feel is professional, very high quality and lighter than what I've been using. And honestly, because it's an all-round trimmer, it's helped me get rid of the "nice" but seldom-used stuff I was carrying around. I've used it on several multi-day trips and so far so good. The trolley case is a plus, but I find it easier to carry through the airport on my back. The only minor concern is that I'm used to a large hidden external pocket for a light jacket or fleece, but also not very professional and can live without it. In general, I am satisfied with the result, I will look at other Everki products.
