Review on Cutting-Edge Backpack Computer Laptops Charging Resistant Backpacks for Laptop Backpacks by Theresa Grieve

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazingly durable and roomy for the price

Amazingly durable for the price, very light and a lot more room than I thought. The style is elegant and professionally understated, but not so overtly professional that it would be weird to wear on vacation or camping - perfect as I don't want to switch between two separate backpacks! My old back-up, a Swiss Gear backpack that I used for about 12 years and repurchased every 4-5 years, has finally snapped and the new ones are over $20 in price compared to the last one I had Bought, so I've spent several days looking for new sturdy backpacks. , lighter than the heavy Swiss Gear giants and inexpensive. I needed something that could carry a lot of the things I usually take to work while being lightweight as I now have a bad back. This backpack felt cheap right out of the box and I knew I was going to be disappointed. Wow, but I was wrong! So far, after almost two months of daily use, this backpack has really proven itself to be a worthy competitor to the larger, more expensive ones I've used in the past. No obvious signs of wear yet, but I'm a lot less tired of carrying this than what I've been carrying before. Despite the low price, it is as comfortable to carry as a backpack three times more expensive! In this backpack, my standard luggage includes a planner, work notes/papers, laptop + supplies, coffee, water bottle, lunch, large bag. Sanitizing wipes for coronavirus prevention, as well as plenty of pens, loose change and a few other bits and pieces I need, all fairly neatly organized thanks to the many pockets that are *not* unnecessarily small! Oh, and I still have room for more things when I need them, like room for a small grocery bag for when I need to shop on the way home. Three main compartments help store electronics and documents, lunch/snacks, and pens/changes. / Little things stay in separate places. The downsides so far are that the pen and bottle holders feel cheap. They haven't had any trouble holding 24-32 ounce bottles, and while the handle feels cheap, it seems to hold the weight of a fully loaded backpack well. Also, I wish the USB charging cable was detachable; I'll rarely use it unless I'm traveling so it might free up some space. For the price, not only can't I complain, I'm pleasantly surprised at how good this backpack is!

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
