SwissGearThe Travel Tech Elite USB ScanSmart Laptop Backpack

This is a very nice very sturdy backpack with multiple pockets which provide great storage capacity. I travel quite a bit for work and this backpack really suits my needs with space for my IPad as well as my work laptop. There are easy access pockets on the front and hooks on the inside for hanging car keys. There is also a pocket on the outside that will hold a power bank with a cord on the inside so you can keep whatever you need to charged during travel. The backpack is also waterproof which is very nice and protects everything on the inside.

I Bought this backpack for my husband. He needed a quality backpack for business travel. He had previously been using his Mountain Hardwear Camp4 28 as his EDC but recently took a remote position that requires occasional airline travel. While the MH bag is a good bag for an EDC, it isn't designed for business travel.He researches EVERYTHING... ad nauseam. He chose this backpack based upon features, appearance, brand AND the discounted price during Amazon Prime Days.With the intended use as a personal item on US flights, he was able to pack this backpack with his 15.6" laptop, extra 16" monitor, all the cables and power bricks that accompany them, a travel keyboard and mouse, as well as 2 phones, battery bank, notebook and in-flight entertainment including his noise cancelling over the ear headphones, tablet, airfly (Bluetooth gizmo). He was also able to pack a change of clothes in case his carry-on gets gate checked and then lost (it's entirely possible). He loves the small zipper pocket with a hard interior case in which he keeps his eyeglasses (backup to contacts), 2 pair of readers and a microfiber cloth.Yes, this all fit in the backpack which in turn fit under the airline seat.The material is rugged and looks like it will take a beating. The zippers (unknown if YKK) are solid and hefty with the Swiss Gear emblem... they feel like quality zippers. The zippers are also large enough to accept an S-hook to lock the zippers together to help prevent pick pocketing.The trolly sleeve is also better than the average trolly sleeve. It is not the normal thin strap you get on other packs. The backing is contoured and padded for cool comfort if not wearing as a sling.There are 2 padded mesh external pockets that will fit his well used Pogo 32 oz water bottle.My husband is a gear snob and he wants quality in his products. This backpack fits the bill. The Amazon description is pretty accurate, which helped him select this pack. Siskel and Ebert would definitely give this pack 👍👍

I purchased this particular laptop backpack to replace a slightly larger Swiss Gear backpack for a specific reason - the larger backpack wasn't strictly ATA compliant for under-seat storage on aircraft. It was hard to get under the seat in front of me because of some extra pockets on the front that stuck out further. This backpack eliminates that particular issue, fits my 16" laptop, and provides enough storage and organization for my stuff - it's just taking me a little time to get used to the slightly different configuration. Another must-have feature for me is a sternum strap, which this one has. This backpack is as well made as my other Swiss Gear backpack - and my grandson was very happy to take the old one off my hands.

This is my first SwissGear bag, and I have to say that I'm impressed. For decades, I've used a few packs from other vendors, both "professional" bags and "sports" packs that had laptop pockets. I've often found those other packs to be merely sufficient, but not check all the boxes that I'd like to see. But, I didn't think anyone made the perfect bag, so accepting mediocre products was my fate.Fast forward to now, I wanted to replace my well-worn pack (over 1M travel miles on it!) with something that was small, durable, and which had sufficient dedicated storage space for the smaller items I need to carry in addition to my MacBook Pro and iPad. After searching for a few weeks, I came back to this pack, which was on sale for a fantastic price, and decided to give it a try with the thought that if it didn't work out, I could just donate the thing. To my surprise, this pack is absolutely perfect and meets or exceeds all of my expectations.The pack has plenty of little pockets to hold the bits and pieces, but ample storage room for books, a light jacket, etc. Also, an armored glasses pocket and a really cool side-load sleeve for shoes or jackets. There is a place for everything, and I'm putting everything it its place. The pack is quite light but with the 600 denier nylon construction and it just oozes of durability and quality, I'm expecting that this thing will last for at least a decade. Plus, this pack holds its shape and is a joy to use and to look at, unlike the bag (from a well-known Swedish company) that it is replacing which was permanently crumpled and difficult to put on and use, and was quite void of the little organizing pockets I value.As my first SwissGear bag, I'm completely stoked with this purchase and now regret not having looked at these bags or this brand earlier. Now that I'm enlightened, I'm going to explore more of the SwissGear products to see what else they have that might be of value to me and my family. Recommended without any hesitation.
