Digital camera reviews of PEGASUS from SwissGear by Wenger Computer Backpack
Digital camera Review: Perfect for large laptops, like HP Pavilion
Summary: 5 Stars
Outstanding tool for carrying a laptop.
I purchased this backpack to carry my HP Pavilion; it has a huge monitor and a keypad with a number key, which I appreciate for calculations. The SwissGear backpack easily accommodates the long laptop. It's the only one I could find that could fit my Pavilion. This backpack is ideal for the long-distance commuter or road-warrior, ergonomically-designed to contain everything -- not only for your laptop but for travel needs. The padding is surprisingly sturdy and works well. Here's my summary of the positives:
1. Two large compartments that easily contained laptop, charger, cables, mouse-case (I keep my external mouse in a hard case that was originally for CDs.), international converters, and project binders.
2. One small top compartment I selected for keys, IDs, etc.
3. One larger, long compartment for pens, cell phone charger, bluetooth charger, thumb drives, etc.
4. Two side compartments ideal for eyeglasses, pharmaceuticals and other stuff.
5. The padding is lighter and more useful than heavy plastic or leather in protecting delicate electronics and such.
6. It fit easily in the overhead compartment, although the straps were a challenge confining.
7. Two pull straps are located on the arm straps to allow tightening, which is great for older people with shoulder rotation problems.
8. Two hefty hand straps for moving around.
9. Lockable compartments with two sturdy zippers sealing each compartment.
10. Semi-waterproof construction; it rained heavily on my last day and the backpack contents remained dry.
11. Two open net side pockets for eyewash packets and hand sanitizer packets.
12. Heavily padded arm straps for hours in lines and walking around airports and train stations.
13. Backpack stands up on its own, even if filled, without risk of falling over.
There are few negatives. The padding on the sides is protected by a light nylon webbing. The webbing tore in one spot after one trip, albeit, around the world on a 30 day road-warrior assignment. Although it is black and won't show too much dirt quickly, you should protect it with a couple coats of Scotch-guard. The SwissGear picked up some of the red dust from the jobsite. After the Scotch-guard put a couple coats of silicon spray to improve its waterproofing.
This backpack will oscure your back when walking through a dark airport parking lot. I added some strips of 3M reflective tape to make me more visible. It's the iron on type that seems to be available only through the internet.
This is the best backpack I've ever purchased for a laptop and was well-worth the premium price I paid in the last minute before flying half-way around the worlds.
I hope this review was helpful. If so, please add your vote.
