Amazon Basics Laptop Backpack 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.

This is a solid backpack with lots of room and compartments. The first compartment has several little dividers to hold your pens, post-it notes, business cards, phone, external drives, power cords, etc. The second compartment is not as deep or wide as the other pockets but goes down the whole length of the backpack. The third compartment is h-u-g-e! It's deep and wide and about 3-4" at the bottom and will hold a ton of books, folders, and notebooks. The rear compartment has a padded area for the laptop, a shallow pocket and another huge area that's as big as the 3rd compartment. Finally, in between the 3rd and 4th compartments is a mini-pocket that can hold a phone, iPod, ear buds, and other small items. This thing can hold a lot! On each side of the backpack is a mesh pocket with elastic top. It will hold a 20 oz. bottle of water. Drink containers larger than a 20 oz. water bottle will probably not fit. Now, let's talk about padding. The front compartment is padded, the handle is padded, the shoulder straps are very well padded and the areas that will be pressing against your shoulder blades and lower back are thickly padded, too. Overall, this is a great backpack and not too "basic". It's lightweight and strong. However, I have a 17" laptop (screen size). When I actually measured the body, it is 16 1/2". It can barely fit into the backpack without a lot of effort. And at the very top of the bag, where the corners of the laptop are, the laptop is clearly pushing the limits of the fabric so now those areas of my laptop are at risk for damage if dropped and the bag probably won't last more than a year before those areas completely wear through. And that is why I had to give this a 4-star rating. :-( If you have a 15" laptop and a lot of gear to carry, then this backpack is great and would be worth all 5 stars!!!

I travel a lot for business and I used a laptop case to carry my files, receipts, laptop, chargers, etc. As an airline carry-on option, the laptop case was convenient because of its size, but it had one strap, and I was finding that my tendency to put it on my right shoulder over the years was causing my back to go a little out of whack, and switching sides constantly was not the solution I needed. This backpack was discounted a bit for Black Friday, and having seen the quality of AmazonBasics products before, I knew that $30 was a fair price and I expected a decent product based on the reviews. When it arrived, I was able to take everything from my laptop case - passport, flash drive, files, chargers and more - and transfer it into this backpack with ease. There are dedicated pockets that are intelligently sized (there is one small pocket that is flash-drive-shaped, which was amazing). And, because of the way it's constructed, it's smaller and lighter than my laptop case. From the beginning, I was impressed, but that was only the beginning. The backpack itself complies with my airline's (and, let's be reasonable, most airlines') definition of a "personal item" rather than "carry-on luggage," whereas my laptop case was too wide to be considered a personal item (though most airlines wouldn't bug you, still, it's always better to be able to point to the regulation and say you're in the right!). This bag maximizes economy of space brilliantly, and fits under the seat in front of you on the plane, so no rummaging through the overhead compartments looking for your bag. I thought the bag couldn't get any better, but it didn't stop there. I was initially concerned about whether having a backpack rather than a laptop case would appear "unprofessional," but as a traveling salesperson, it didn't appear that anyone judged me for having a backpack rather than a case. The zippers are strong and large, so no cheap metal or plastic breaking on you as you try to open a zipper that got stuck on cloth. Everything is laid out very well. Having all my chargers, cables and files handy was useful during my presentations, when I was able to pull out hotspots, folders and other things with ease, and even keep my coins together for easy reach while paying tolls. I'm excited to use this backpack for personal 1-2 day trips also, because I can definitely fit a bit of clothing in the other pocket I didn't use (there was so much space, I didn't need to!) and be able to travel in a plane, train or automobile without having to worry about lugging around...well, luggage. The side compartment is perfect for the average bottle of water, for people that want to use this backpack in the outdoors or for long trips, and just about any laptop will fit inside the slit in the back. If the events of Amazon's history as a company in the last two decades had only culminated in the design of this backpack, that would honestly be enough to justify its existence. Of course, I'm exaggerating, but this backpack is yet another example among the many reasons more and more of my purchases are being made through Amazon. Their reputation for quality and economy of design understates the achievements of this backpack, which sets standards beyond all those previously achieved by Amazon. Thank you again, Amazon, and I look forward to seeing what the next item is that you decide to improve in ways I didn't even realize I wanted.

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。)
