Swiss Gear Ibex 17-Inch Notebook Backpack

It's exactly what I was looking for to keep my computer safe, but not be too big and bulky to carry on a trip. Worked out very well.

I LOVE this backpack! I recently took it with me on my trip to Norway and Sweden. It definitely withstood the 'workout' I gave it. I traveled with a laptop, external hard drive, iPod, and a bunch of other stuff. Lots of room for much, much more too like a denim jacket, cords and connectors, and stuff I picked up being a 'tourist'. Its tough and can withstand the knocking around of traveling. The padding on the back is an added bonus. My Dell Inspiron 1520 was completely protected.

The photos on Amazon did not do it justice - it's a really sharp looking backpack. Great price too.

Not only is this bag look and feel good, it has plenty of space for my 15" widescreen laptop, files/folders, back up drive, all accessories, and wireless mouse...even has a number of exterior pockets for phone, water bottle, etc. Bag has nice padding in the back along with heavy duty straps and a sturdy top handle. All for a decent price.

The backpack seemed durable and was very stylish, but it did not fit the 17 inch notebook as promised. We had to return the item due to the fact that it did not do what is was made to. Maybe the item we received was somehow defective.

I bought this because my computer bag will not fit in my motorcycle saddle bags. With the cost of just getting to work and back I like to take my bike as much as possible. This back pack allow me to take my computer and needed essentials like my lunch, with ease.
