600627 GIGABYTE 15.4 Inch MacBook Pro Backpack, Anti-Scratch Lining with iPad/Tablet/eReader Pocket in Black {17 Litre}

TL;DR: Just click the 'Buy' button. You will be glad you did. Having had a Wenger bag Wenger 600635 SYNERGY 16" Laptop Backpack, Padded laptop compartment with iPad/Tablet/eReader Pocket in Black/Grey {26 Litres} for the past 12 years I had absolutely no concerns about the build quality of the brand. My reason for purchasing a new bag was not that the old one had worn out in any way but simply that it was too big for my current needs. After much reading of reviews I settled on the Gigabyte as it resembled my Synergy and that had been such as good bag. First impressions were that it was quite a bit smaller than the Synergy, but once it was opened up I realised that there is a great deal of thought that has gone into the storage features of this bag. The very front pocket has the usual wenger array of pouches and clips etc for phones, glasses, pens, keys and twelve foot ceremonial pig ticklers. One great thing about the Gigabyte bag is that this pocket has a set of pouches for memory cards and the phone pouch is lined with a microfiber material. Which, given the design of current mobile phones featuring glass and all metal chassis is a very good idea. The section sitting next back from the front pocket is gulp pocket for those items that you need access to immediately and frequently. I use mine for inhalers and tequila... The main pocket is sub divide by way of a mesh 'bag' type pouch on the inner face which is very useful for cables and chargers. The main body of the pocket is just a big pocket, ideal for documents and folders etc. It is this pocket, however, that has the 'case base' fold down which give so much stability to the bag. The 'case base' is in reality a dense piece of flat material, likely card, stitched into the internal material that give additional structural integrity to the bag. All that said, it is well worth having as it stops the bag from falling over like other market offerings. The Main pouch has another surprise, this time it's a small pouch against the back wall which is lined completely with microfiber material and is designed to hold a tablet. The design not withstanding, this pouch is large enough to hold a Microsoft Surface Pro easily and gives me no cause for concern about it's safety or security. The final and largest pocket is all microfiber lined and its like slipping your hand inside a chinchilla. There are no additional pockets or pouches in this final pocket but that is because it is intended to hold your 15" laptop. I only use a Surface pro so don't have experience of a laptop in this pocket but would definitely trust my device to such a well designed pocket. The only other thing to add is that this id the only pocket with a lockable zip. Pros: Well designed, Multiple stowage option, microfiber pouches for your devices, strong handles, water bottle stowage, the list just goes on... Cons: No headphone pass through, hey retention system could offer a retractable device so you don't have to un-clip them every time. All in all, This bag is as good if not better than my previous Wenger. For someone who, professional speaking, lives out of their bag this is the one for you. Yes, the price does make you stop and think but don't let that be the deciding factor. If you think you need it then you do need it.

Wenger have once again provided a high quality backpack which will have you in compartment overload and a place to put all your items! What I like? There's a compartment for everything, have you got a phone? Excellent there's a phone holder at the small compartment in the front. Do you have a water bottle? Buy another, it can hold two at a time! Do you often carry around £10,000 of technology in your bag? Well, you probably shouldn't but this bag will help you if you really want to. The bag has 5 zipped main compartments and two side compartments for things like an umbrella or water bottle, one right at the front which at the moment I'm using to store a facemask so it's not spreading the germs will all my other stuff, a small front compartment which you can use for storing your phone (more on that later), a couple of pen holders which I'm using for small usb cables and a zipped sub compartment at the back where you can hide away your noodles of cables. The bag also has two big sections which you can use to store a large laptop and tablets + have room for lots of other goodies and there's a section at the top which you can use to put all your frequently used items ie wallet, keys, ID cards etc. The handle at the top is very sturdy and gives me confidence that it won't break like my old Wenger backpack which was just two bits of plastic clammed together. What can be improved or added? The bit at the back that is used to go around a suitcase I think is unnecessary for a backpack, if you're travelling in most circumstances, wearing a backpack is not a problem but it gives you options, I'd prefer some thicker padding to support your lower back a bit better when you have heavy items in the bag. A hard protective section would be great for things like sunglasses. I think the SD Card holder at the front is unnecessary, if you're carrying a camera of any good quality you're probably going to have it in its own case which will have storage for an SD card, give us another pocket or remove the stitching between the SD card compartments so we can store something larger. The soft touch phone holder at the front isn't big enough to fit all modern phones like my Galaxy Note, if you've got anything bigger than a Galaxy S8 (maybe an S8+) you'll not be able to fit it in there.

Amazing product

Present for my partner whose last Wenger gave up after about a decade, and it looks set to last for the next ten years too! Pleased with the quality and weight of the bag, and with the sturdy ergonomic straps. In terms of space, measured perfectly to put in a MacBook and a Microsoft tablet in the two separate pockets, and still have enough space for paperwork in the main compartments. He was particularly pleased with the organised small pockets in the front compartments, and I'm happy with the zipped high-wall side compartments so their size can be adjusted without wearing out any elastication, or without things falling out.

I bought this bag originally for going on a business trip that i knew i would be walking in and out of the office, it has 3 main compartments and a and 2 small pockets on the outside and one on the inside of the center main compartment. The largest compartment (the one against your back ) was able to hold my laptop with ease and a smaller laptop with no problems, the lining inside the pocket is felted so you don't have to worry about scratches. The center compartment i used for my DSLR and cables bag, there isn't a lot of room in this compartment for more than this and then the most outer compartment is organised to be able to hold pens,phone,SD cards a latch for keys and another inner pocket. For what i used the bag for it seems very well wearing and sturdy, it was comfortable on my back for the 30 minute walk into work every day.

Superb bag, big capacity, lots of easy access storage with a very durable nice quality finish. It does everything I wanted it for

Seit dem Laptop Rucksack bin ich super zufrieden. Unheimlich viele Fächer, sehr guter Tragegriff und gut gepolstert.

Muy buen material, cumple de sobra con la descripción. Tiene muchos compartimentos y mantiene la forma y las costuras están bien hechas. Sustituye a una vitorinox, seguro que durará y aguantará caña.

This pack is well made and sleek but it's a lot smaller than I anticipated. I'm a 6' 3" guy and it feels like I have a kid's backpack on. I have my lap top, a few yellow legal pads and some noise cancelling headphones in a case and the pack is totally stuffed. No extra room for really anything medium sized. You better plan on minimal with this. I went from the Wenger Pegasus 17" backpack and I miss how much extra room that thing had and I could actually put other things in it without being mindful of the capacity.

Lätt och smidig ryggsäck men axelremmarna är för hala. Efter att man har justerat längden på dessa glider dom tillbaka och man får justera dom på nytt. Det är jobbigt att hela tiden justera längden.

Très belle qualité, construction très solide, excellente qualité perçue. Même ultra-rempli, les fermetures éclair tiennent bien. Attention toutefois de bien les ramener sur le côté car il m'est arrivé que la poche ordi ou la poche centrale se rouvrent quand le sac était vraiment plein: ça n'arrive plus depuis que je les ramène bien sur le côté. Nombreuses poches très pratiques pour divers accessoires ou objets, bretelles de portage confortables. Manque peut-être une petite sangle centrale pour maintenir les bretelles sur le torse mais l'orientation "business" du sac et leur bon positionnement ramènent cet accessoire au "nice-to-have" 🙂 Je recommande ce sac sans hésiter.
