A great bag for college!
This review is for the Swissgear SA1908 black backpack (Amazon clumps reviews together for the older models and newer ones; it's good to point out which model number your product has on it). Moreover, the price I got for this bag was 39.99 with free shipping.The bag seems sturdy and it's huge (but this statement is subjective). Of course it would be big given that it will hold most 17 inch laptops. I have a 15.6 laptop and it fits with some room in it. It's like the stock pictures except that its flatter and not that puffy (it's only puffy if you put a lot of stuff in it).Additionally, it's comfortable. The back part is padded as well as the straps. This makes carrying large textbooks and a laptop easy and the straps doesn't dig into your shoulders.To give you more details about this bag, there's 5 zippers. One is for the laptop. The zipper is on the side and only goes halfway. There are 2 zippers for your books, folders, etc.; they are your main compartments. One of those zippers opens almost all the way around; its the ScanSmart feature. The other has a pocket inside that you can use for your mp3 player. Finally, the last 2 zippers are for your extra stuff (subcompartments). One of them, when you open it, has pockets, pencil holders, and a key holder, and it is almost as big as the main compartments. The other is just a pouch. Plus there are 2 drink holders on the side of the bag.There's only a couple of gripes I have for this particular. The first being Group III makes them (they are a licensee of SwissGear). If you can see in my pictures, there's a warranty card and the licensee is on there. Furthermore, there's a 5 year warranty on it... only if you bought it from an authorized dealer. I'm not sure if Amazon is one, but you can email them; their email address is on the warranty card.The second gripe is the zippers. I agree with some of the other reviews saying that the zippers are not high quality. They are good but perhaps it may be because they are new and haven't been worn in yet.If you have seen my pictures, I've used flash so you can see more details.Overall, I like it. It's a great bag for college. It's a lot better than my previous bag, which was a back Jansport with two main compartments and two smaller ones. Get it for a good price! In my opinion, it's not worth anything above 60.00.

This backpack is roomy, with many well design compartments and it's quite sleek and good looking. After reading some reviews I was concerned about the zipper quality, but they are incredibly good quality; the zipper and stitches are sturdy. It looks better than the image in the description. It works well for travel and for daily commute as well.
The backpack is quite comfortable even when filled. I had all my carry on items in it for flights with 3-4 layovers and lots of walking; it was heavy, but my shoulders didn't hurt. The Scan Smart works, but different airports and different employees have different policies, so be prepared to be asked to remove your laptop. I was allowed in most US airports with the laptop in, but on most European airports I was asked to remove the laptop.
Compartments:
- Laptop compartment. Fits an 17'' laptop, but the zipper is lateral only and does not fully open. So if the laptop is wide, it might not fit through the zipper.
- Middle slim compartment. This fits paperwork or other slim items, since it's not wide at the bottom; it won't work for big books, but it has enough space if you have a larger amount of paper. It also has a separate slim pocket, good for smaller notebooks or papers.
- Middle large compartment. This is a wide compartment, fitting clothes (workout clothes or a change of clothes when traveling), my lunch bag or other bulky items. Has a small padded pocket for iPod or other small audio electronics (headphones hole is nearby on top).
- Front medium compartment. This has many small pockets and the detachable key ring. It's a deep pocket. Great for organization.
- Front small compartment. For those small extra items you want to find fast.
- Two lateral bottle compartments. The mesh is elastic, but they don't fit wider bottles.
- Sunglasses attachment on the strap. A small but practical touch.

Great backpack for travel and commute, sturdy, good quality, roomy
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018
I bought this backpack in preparation for a long international flight as my single carry on (I hate having a carry on and a separate laptop bag). I wanted something sturdy, big but not bulky, well compartmentalized (for laptop, other electronics, paper work, a change of clothes, liquids bag, other essentials on long flights). I previously had Swiss Gear backpacks and I was satisfied with the quality (and they lasted years).Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018
