Amazon Basics Padded Laptop Backpack with Water Bottle Pockets, Travel Work Bag with Compartments, Fits Up to 17-Inch Laptops, Black

Just received this bag a few days ago and already love it. I am using for a workout bag to take to the gym. The bag material is very durable. Zippers are thick and strong and should last a long time. There are multiple zipper pocket sections so that clean and dirty clothes/towels can be stored. Straps are rugged. You could also use the bag for its original purpose which is a book bag/laptop bag. It would be excellent for school supplies. Provides enough padding to protect your laptop and has a front pocket for keys, pens/pencils and other school supplies. I got it for a great price of $20.99, but just checked and it is now on sale for $19.99. Only downside for me, it only comes in black or I would have bought one for my daughter. Definitely recommend if you need a great book bag at a great price and don't care about name brands.

I had been shopping for a replacement bag for several months, and had narrowed it down to a few choices. I finally chose this Amazon Basics laptop backpack. When I received it I was first impressed by how it felt in my hands. It doesn't feel flimsy at all, but very sturdy and well-made. I moved all my stuff from the old bag to the new bag and had plenty of room left over. There are multiple pockets for all your things, and the zippers are very smooth. I have a 16" laptop which fits the laptop sleeve with ease and the padding leaves me confident it's well-protected as I carry it about. The shoulder straps are very comfortable and I could carry this bag for a long time if needed. I would recommend this bag highly.

Outstanding backpack for the price point. I run an entertainment business, and am lugging gear and materials around town several nights a week. This pack has held up beyond my expectations. It has plenty of room for my laptop, small mixer, microphones, cords & cables, plus assorted odds & ends. Being in Seattle, where it's awfully wet about 8 months out of the year, I can attest that the waterproofing works quite well. Have not had any issues with water getting into the pack, even while walking in heavy rain (I also treat the outside with waterproofing spray, for added protection, and highly recommend doing so). I'm especially pleased with the quality of the material/construction. While it isn't as rugged as my hiking backpack, it's well-made, with decently thick material and good stitching. With other packs I've owned, a common failure was that the "walls" between compartments would tear; no such issues here after more than a year of constant use. Zippers are still just fine, too. A couple of nitpicks: the mesh side pockets could be a bit stouter. One of them tore recently, but it's not a huge deal and is mostly my fault, anyway. Also, this backpack has a great little pocket on one of the straps, which is a perfect place for my pocket knife. Unfortunately for me, I tend to carry a backpack slung over my right shoulder, but the pocket is on the left strap, so getting to my knife while carrying the pack requires putting the pack down. Having a pocket on both straps would be ideal (Do it Amazon! Do it!). It has a charging port, too, which is a nice feature many packs at this price lack. Overall, this backpack works well, looks good (black is a popular color in the PNW), and is pretty darned tough. Great value!

Pros: - Good amount of pockets and location. The backpack has 3 large (1 for laptop), 1 medium, and 1 small pocket. The small pocket is placed between the laptop pocket and another large pocket, so when it is filled, the bakcpack does not bulge. Other backpacks often have the small pocket in the front, causing this issue to occur - Backpack seems durable and sturdy. My last backpack was the previous version of this Amazon Basics backpack, and it lasted me over 7 years of school. I switched to this one a year ago, and it seems to be just as sturdy and perhaps even a little more durable. - The laptop pocket is closest to your back when you wear it, and there is a good layer of padding between the laptop and your back. The padding is thick enough that you shouldn't feel anything poking your back. Even without a laptop in your bag, the padding keeps you from experiencing any discomfort from the items in your bag Cons: - The zippers for the backpack are covered by a bit of stiff fabric. This was most likely done for aesthetic reasons, but it makes it a bit harder to open and close the zippers. You end up grabbing the zippers at an angle, and it makes it more likely to get caught on the material inside the backpack. This issue gets better over time as the backpack material breaks in and becomes lesss stiff, but the issue does not fully go away - The water bottle pockets are a bit too small. I use a 24 oz contigo (3.35" diameter), and it takes some difficulty to put it in the mesh side pocket. It seems like it was built for the thing plastic bottles - There is a strap that goes from the front of the backpack to the back. It gets in the way of the water bottle area, and makes it a bit harder to insert the water bottle Additional Notes: - This is a large backpack. It will take up most of your back, so if you are walking around with a full bag on a hot day, it will get pretty uncomfortable from the heat and you will sweat a lot

Muy buen producto, buena calidad y con variedad de compartimentos.

I'm serious. I got this with a student discount when I started college, and it goes with me everywhere, with my entire life inside of it. The pockets are many, big, sturdy and legitimately functional. I think in the picture it showed entire binders fitting into the secondary pockets and I was skeptical about the physics of that, but somehow it works! It's not a huge bag at all, but somehow everything but the kitchen sink fits inside of it. The bag itself is very lightweight as well, despite having so many different compartments and being really sturdy. You can tell because the zippers are so "zippy" --they feel very smooth and withstand a lot of abuse being tugged at from weird angles without much protest. It's perfect because I can carry it around instead of a purse on light days, but then fill it with 3 binders, 2 text books, a laptop, a big journal, a million girl-things in the outter pocket, my wallet, my water bottle, my charging cords, my glasses, my lab-coat for bio, a sweater and my lunchbag. All with confidence that it won't fall apart, damage my fragile goods, or hurt my back. Because the back is reinforced for the computer compartment inside, it really does wonders when I'm lugging all my college gear around campus. ANY college student will tell you how important that is!!! I'm really really glad I picked this bag over the other ones I had in mind. The main drawback for me going in was its small size, but after this semester, when I realize how much it expanded that turned out to be a bonus! :)

It's surprisingly comfy on the shoulders, even when I cram it with all my junk, including my laptop, chargers, snacks (gotta have snacks), and a questionable amount of cables that I swear multiply overnight. The padding for the laptop is like a pillow fortress—keeps my laptop snug as a bug. Downsides? It’s called "Amazon Basics," but there’s nothing *basic* about this backpack—it makes my life look way too organized. And yeah, if you're someone who loses stuff easily, good luck remembering which pocket you put it in. Overall, it's a solid buddy for your daily adventures. Just be ready to explain to friends why you're taking 5 minutes to dig out your car keys from this black hole of storage. 10/10 would buy again (if mine doesn’t swallow me whole).

Werkt goed. Amazon is wel zo clever om al 1 week nadat ik deze rugzak kocht al om een review te vragen. Of deze lang meegaat kan ik nu nog niet veel zeggen dus 😅... Of toch! Want dit is al mijn 2e Amazon basics laptoprugzak. De vorige is een jaar of 5 meegegaan totdat 1 van de 4 ritsen stuk ging. Na 5 jaar intensief gebruik is dat best ok. En nu ben ik hier terug om mijn 2 e praktisch identieke rugzak te reviewen. 5 jaar later weet ik nog steeds niet goed wat ik erover moet vertellen maar dat had u wellicht al door 😂

自転車通勤のために購入し、使用1年が経ちました。 他のレビューに見られるような縫製のほつれはありません。製造年、または個体差があるのかもしれないです。 収納箇所が多く、開けようと思った部分と違うファスナーを開いてしまうことがあるのはご愛嬌でしょう。 そういう意味では「手探りだけで開けられる」ような山用品的なハイレベルの機能性はないと言えます。 しかし、この値段で気軽に使えるデイパックとしてはかなりの良品だと思います。 私が気に入っているのは以下の点です。 主張が強くないプレーンなデザイン, 収納が多い, 軽い, 背負いやすい, ノートPC用のポケットが再背面(背中側)にある 普段入れているものは次の通り。 MacBook Air 13インチ,iPad mini,A5サイズ手帳,筆箱,A4クリアファイル数枚,1L水筒,長財布,手袋,爪切りなどを入れたポーチ (ここに夏場は着替えのシャツなどを入れています) ブランドにこだわらず、安価で十分なバックパックを求めている人にはオススメの一品です。 (全くの余談ですが、最近の流行りである「ショルダーベルトを長く伸ばして背負う」カタチはバックパックの機能を十分に使えていないと思います。きちんとショルダーを身体にフィットさせれば、この商品も疲れなく背負うことができます。)
