Customer Reviews Samsonite Tectonic 2 Large 17" Laptop Backpack

good pack, perfect size to carry everything

I have searched many other brands and models and this was the best overall backpack for me in terms of functionality, capacity, and style. The large compartment stores all my business work accessories such as my power supply, notebook, phone accessories, large headset, and it can even hold a small change of clothes, travel pillow, and baseball cap! The organizer is okay. It can hold a tablet, eyeglass case, pens, memory sticks, etc. It's just that the zippered pockets inside can't really hold much and can be hard to reach/open if the bag is full. Still decent. The small soft fleece-lined pocket at the top is a nice touch. It's a good place to put your cell phone, eye drops, metro subway card, earphones, etc. There's a quick access pocket on the back that is partially closed by velcro. I like this pocket for grabbing things like tissue, gum, snacks, or a small tube of hand lotion. The things mentioned tend to stick out a bit when I store them there. I know it's not meant to be a closed pocket and it works well. But I do wish it was a little bit deeper. That way, things would sit more comfortably in there. The two cup holders are fantastic. They can fit large tumblers. I use to hold all sorts of misc items such as a leak-proof thermos, gloves, or a compact umbrella. As others have stated, the top handle is great. It's nicely reinforced. It's what I always reach for first when picking my bag off the floor. The zippers themselves are very high quality. They are thick, the straps are large, easy to grip, and the zip action is smooth. I do really like that the bag itself is rather large but light-weight at the same time. This is key for a frequent business traveler whose body gets mangled by carrying laptops and sits in economy class flights all the time. My only big complaint is that I wish the bottom was more reinforced. If your bag is sitting on a hard floor and if you don't put your laptop in carefully, it will bang the floor.

Very nice, my husband loves it. We are using this for traveling as well.

I bought this backpack for my brother, so he can go to school with it. He asked me for a backpack who had a lot of space and lightweight. And when I finally had it in my hands it was what I really asked for. Actually I would buy this backpack for myself as well because I can use it in travels and for business.

I use this backpack to organize and carry all my business needs that includes laptop, documents, tools, cords, chargers ... It has compartments for each. Best is the easy in out for laptop so when traveling through an airport I can easily dig out the laptop for screening. This is my second one as I wore out the first one after many years of hard use. Only thing that wore out was the left shoulder strap since I sometimes one arm carry and a zipper finally gave out ...

Great quality, durable and easy to use.

I am able to carry one item with all my travel needs inside, including emergency items

It was a welcome Christmas present, and immediately became the new bag to carry laptop, paperwork and all of the electronic devices.

Used for school and last samsonite backpack lasted 2 years!

Purchased this for my dad as a gift, and he loves it! Looks stylish, and you can definitely feel the durability when you first pick it up. Great backpack at a great price.

Purchased this product for my dad who is a very well traveled businessman and he loves it! Not only does the item feel durable for those hectic trips through the airport, but it also looks stylish too. Not to mention you can easily access all of your most used items pretty easily.

Great for a daily basis.

Good value. Sturdy construction

Don't like open pocket in front

Best Backpack I ever had, however the Zip broke after a year. I am having a hard time trying to get it repaired. I have brought two other Backpacks as replacements, but this Bag is by far the best. I could have saved money just ordering another one.

Used this bag as a carry on for a trip. Worked as planned.

It's heavy and thick, so it feels like you can't put too much stuff like max. for two days clothing. But it's good quality and can fit 17" laptop. It's also bulky.

Bag look and fell not good as shown in website. I used samsonite in past they are good looking.

I use this backpack for work purposes. I travel 80 to 90 percent with my job and this is a great backpack for traveling. It easily fits overhead or under the airplane seat. It is sturdy and comfortable on my shoulders and back. I love the suitcase handle on the back. It holds all of my goods including a portable monitor and laptop. The cushioned laptop pocket keeps my laptop and portable monitor protected from bumps. It has a sturdy handle so that I can hang it on bathroom stalls without worrying about the weight of the backpack breaking the handle. I only wish it had more zippers/pockets to hold items, especially smaller items. It has only 2 small pockets and then the main pocket and laptop pocket.
