Rivacase Tegel Backpack for 17.3" Laptops - Black

I love this laptop backpack. It fits my 17.3 inch HP laptop snugly with not much to spare closing the zip - which is exactly what I was looking for.
I use it as I need to take my laptop and mouse home at night a couple of times a week and I walk to work - so wanted something that sits well and is comfortably on my back.
It does this and its very light so not carrying any more than I need to. It fits more than that too - when it has too (ie medium sized lunchbox etc.) so all in all very pleased with this one.

It's a great backpack with plenty of space and very comfortable to wear. Well worth the money. It's a great backpack with plenty of space and very comfortable to wear. Well worth the money.

It has comfier arm sleeves than many other backpacks I have had in the past and doesn't hurt to wear, especially when weighted down by a laptop and large drink bottle. Wider arms so they don't pick in between your chest and arm area. Fairly sturdy and hasn't ripped yet so I am satisfied, especially for the price- it also looks to be perfect for any carry on needs I might have in the future, such as traveling overseas. Can fit a fair amount of stuff too. There are two sleeves in the main pocket, which could fit a laptop in one and lined pad book for study in the other.

Bought this for when I walk into work (5k). Usually I want to carry: my laptop, computer peripherals like keyboard and mouse, and various things like lunch, jacket, etc. This is good for just computer stuff, but not great if you want to also bring bulky or wide items.

PROS
Sturdy
Looks nice
Supports eco projects
Nice strap arrangement
Back and shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable when carry heavy loads, but...

CONS
...the back and shoulder straps get very hot. Even on a short walk on a cool day.
Front pocket is so deep and skinny that it is hard to fish out anything you put in there. Would be better if it didn't extend all the wa...view more Bought this for when I walk into work (5k).

Holds way less than it seemed like it would when I looked at it in-store. I'd put this at medium-low capacity for a laptop backpack. If I have my laptop, keyboard, and mouse, etc in there, I can barely squeeze in a light hoodie. Lunch can only really fit if it is in a long and thin container. I am considering cutting out the divider between the back section and the middle section in order to make the space more useable for carrying things that are not thin and skinny.

In the end, it is better than a lot of others I saw at this price point, but I am disappointed. However, if you don't need to carry a lot or bulky items this would be really nice.

Waterproof, spacious inside (great for school as you can fit your lunch in there as well as your laptop). Padded under laptop for extra peace of mind. Would recommend.
