I have had this backpack for seven years and have had zero problems with it. I routinely overload this thing with my 17" laptop, 80 11x17" prints, plus all my various cables, mice, and accessories. It's been all over the USA in airports, jobsites, thrown around in rentals, and has taken all sorts of abuse out in the elements. It still looks almost brand new. There is not a single stitch coming loose. I am still amazed at how well this has weathered all my trips. If I ever had to get another backpack, there would be no hesitation in getting another Everki. My only complaint if you must have one is that there are almost too many pockets. Every now and then I find something I lost a year ago in the vast spaces of its design. The pictures below show just how well this is still put together after all these years.

Great product and about the only one I could find to accommodate my W700 Lenovo laptop. I actually had this fall off a moving vehicle at about 40 mph and had no damage to the laptop or anything else in the case. Just a little "road rash" on the exterior material.

This is a large backpack. It has to be to fit my 18" laptop! It seems really nice so far. I love the soft orange material on the inside of the backpack. It definitely keeps my laptop from getting scratched up. There is a ton of room for all the accessories that I have, including my charging brick, a mouse, headphones, and a couple of usb sticks. And I'm not even scratching the surface on the number of things I could fit! The backpack with everything loaded is pretty heavy, but the way the straps work makes it pretty easy to hold it all on my back. Overall, I really love this backpack!

Great backpack for transporting my Alienware m18 laptop. I look forward to using this during my upcoming semester at Yale University.

So far so good! Lots of compartments for organization is really helpful with a sturdy build. I can put more than what I used to put in a different backpack, and it still feels lighter than my previous backpack. Helpful for airports.

This backpack is extremely well built. Everything about it feels quality and has great selection of pockets that are well sized. The only things I wish were slightly different is the "media-player compartment" does not fit larger phones I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 and the only way it fits in that compartment is stick out of the top of the compartment unzipped.

It's seriously pretty big, like almost twice the size of a standard school backpack. Material feels nice and strong, and the orange insides help greatly with visibility. I haven't even fully explored all the nooks and crannies of the bag yet and I already have a space for everything I want to carry.
Overall, the best bag I've ever had by a long shot.

But it can always be improved upon.
-Would be nice to have a little manual going over all the spaces and features, just for flavor and maybe showing off a few bonus ways to utilize certain things.
-I'm a skinny guy. Straps can't go tight enough to reach perfect comfort for me. They come really close, so it isn't terrible.
-Hanging strap could be slightly longer.

One of the best big backpacks I own. This was my first Everki pack and I have only used Everki bags since.

This bag is great for travel as I can fit everything I need and make sure I have it with me whenever necessary. It fits my chunky gaming laptop easily.

The bag also has an amazing build quality and has lasted me for close to 10 years now.

I wanted to love this backpack. I spent two hours researching and was so sure that this one was perfect. After a few days of use, here are my thoughts.

1. SPACE. While it is large (as desired), the space is not well allocated for my purposes. The primary compartments are tall, wide, and shallow. If I were stuffing some clothes into the bag in order to reserve my carry-on for my violin, the clothing would have to be piled up vertically in the same compartment as my work supplies. And even this main compartment is further divided vertically in half, making it even more tall, wide, and skinny.

2. PROPORTION. I'm 5'4" and 112 lbs. I'm strong for my size, but it's just ... unwieldy. I couldn't get into the car and put it next to me because it was too bulky to swing over the steering wheel, making it impractical for daily use around town (back and forth to coffee shops & from work to home).

3. COMPARTMENTS. The sizes are oddly sized and not well suited for my typical supplies. Specifically:

• The side compartments are sliiightly smaller than my laptop charger, so it sticks up out of the top. And they are MUCH too small for a travel mug or water bottle.
• The interior pen-sized pockets don't have bottoms.
• The two square pockets seem designed for a 3.5" floppy disc. They're way too big for business cards, and too flat for my wireless mouse.
• I'm not sure what to use the 11" x 6" x 0" pocket for.
• There is no compartment that might keep my studio-quality headphones safe from getting crushed.

I was so committed to my choice that I was planning to take scissors and remove the dividing panel in the main compartment, to make this space roomier and more versatile. My husband helpfully observed that 1) the bag reminded him of how small I actually am, and 2) for the price, I should not have to take scissors to the bag to make it work.

So, I appreciate the bag's durability and many compartments, but this laptop bag seems better suited for someone whose primary purpose is carrying several laptops.

As other female customers have commented, this bag is not designed for women. The sternum strap is too low down and cannot be moved high enough to fit correctly.
Also, the bottom corners of the laptop pocket are left open (WHY?) and are not padded. I am going to have to close and pad the lower corners of the laptop pocket to ensure that my laptop is protected.
The side pockets are not big enough to be much use.
Since the backpack is "checkpoint friendly", there should be an RFID-protected compartment or pocket in the backpack.
Also, a second laptop pocket in the laptop compartment would be an excellent addition. It's virtually impossible to find backpacks capable of accommodating more than one laptop. This one manages - just.
If these are corrected, the laptop design and function would be greatly improved.
