Digital camera reviews of Maxxum Swiss Gear by Wenger Notebook Backpack - Blue

Digital camera Review: Great Backpack
Summary: 5 Stars

Great Backpack, It was bigger than i supposed, but very handle. It great for 1 day trip.

Digital camera Review: Great Backpack, but much too bulky and heavy
Summary: 2 Stars

I agree with all the pros for this bag in the previous comments. This is an awesome bag, but it is too heavy and bulky. Even when this bag is completely empty, it probably weighs about 6 lbs. I like this bag so much that despite its weight, I kept it for a semester of medical school-it holds everything. Unfortunately, I have to sell it because it is too heavy.

Digital camera Review: Great Bag for Students/Travel
Summary: 5 Stars

This bag is a lifesaver for students like me who have to carry laptops, heavy books, notebooks, mp3 players, pens/pencils/highlighters, wallets, keys and so many other things just to get through a day.

On an average day I have a laptop with ac adapter (big and bulky), two usb cords, Ethernet cable (for those places with low wireless signals), external hard drive (WD passport of course) in just the compartment for the laptop! Usually I have 5-7 books, minimum 10 lbs worth, and 2-3 notebooks in the main compartment. Add wallets, mp3, cell phone, keys, pens etc, and on average I can't even lift the bag. But there's always room for more!

But once it's on my shoulders I can hardly tell it weighs so much! It's easy to trek to and across campus. This bag has some rigid structure so it stays upright when it's set down and the thick fabric can hold up to heavy rain/snow with no leaks or damage to whats inside. The outside pocket is great for quick access, especially on rainy days it's great for umbrellas and jackets.

This pack is a necessity for any students who find themselves overloaded with everything they need just to get through one day. It holds a ton of stuff without looking too bulky and it feels light once its on.

(On a lighter note, my campus of 30,000+ students it seems that one out of three people either uses this bag or another SwissGear like the Pegasus: PEGASUS from SwissGear by Wenger Computer Backpack. That to me shows how wonderful these bags are.)

I also use this pack for travel. It's great for buses, trains, and airplanes. I'm not sure how well it would do for hiking and camping but I'm sure it would hold up. Amazingly it usually fits under the seat in airplanes (as long as it's not completely stuffed full).

My only complaint is that my 15.4" laptop won't fit in the laptop sleeve with the extended life battery on. I doubt a 17" laptop would fit in there either. But it still fits in the laptop compartment fine, and without the extended battery, it fits snugly in the sleeve.

At the Amazon price this bag is a must. I usually destroy a $20 bag a year but after over a year this bag still looks brand new! At $50 it's a steal!

Digital camera Review: Great Laptop backpack
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this pack specifically for the laptop compartment and it has been great. Although it is relatively heavy by itself (around 6 lbs), with my laptop and a few folders and a textbook, it is still manageable. With all the compartments this bag really has everything a student needs. Great job!

Digital camera Review: Great backpack
Summary: 5 Stars

This laptop is perfect for fitting everything for college. I can fit all my books, Dell 15.4" laptop, AC charger, notbooks, and all accesories. Also, it is very comfortable with adequete padding allowing airflow between the pack and your back. The laptop is very well protected in its suspended pocket. The backpack has also done a surprisingly good job of keeping the rain out. Perfect, with room for more!
