I usually don't write reviews, but this backpack surpassed my expectations so far I feel compelled to commend Altego for its incredible work. I've had this backpack for about 3 months now, and I've got to say it's the best backpack I've ever owned! It's built extremely sturdily, and has very strong material and seams. The main pocket is like a sleeping bag for my laptop (and it's a big Windows gaming laptop), and protects it against anything without a scratch. The pockets are all conveniently located and sized, and so I can hold my water bottles, my Tascam sound recorder, my extra hard drive, my assortment of writing utensils, my charger, my extra battery, and a snack with ease. Please note that it is intended for students who carry their laptop/accessories and only one large textbook at the most. If you're looking to carry multiple books, I'd look elsewhere. Read more

The bag is constructed well. Like the extra padding in the back and the separate laptop pocket. I only gave it 4 stars because it my 16" Samsung Laptop barely fits in the laptop pocket. There's a padded patch of fabric with Velcro at the bottom of the laptop pocket. I took that out and my laptop fits in but if it was any bigger it wouldn't fit. I've seen the reviews for some other 17.3" brand laptops fit. Other than that it's a great backpack. Love the front pocket, has a separate pocket that lined for your IPAD or 10" tablet. As well as all of the organizational pockets in the front pocket and on the front of the backpack. Very happy with my purchase. Read more

This bag is definitely made well but if you need to carry a large book or two plus a notepad or such, then this is not for you. I like the style but the size is just too small for the average student. Read more

I even remov3d the velcro pad from the bottom of the pocket and still the zipper wont close all the way Read more

I simply love this bog. My 17" computer fit right in the back. It is not only lined with a wonderful fleece plaid, but it has a double protective wall between you computer and you back, and also between the computer and the inside of the rest of the bag. The stitching on this bad if very good. It is made very well. The straps are also made well and the extra pockets on the outside of the body of the outside of the bag and the top flap are great to have. I took this on an airplane with my husband computer (15") and it worked great it fits right under the seat in front even fully stuffed. Also, inside the bad it a very nice lined cushioned lined fleece plaid pocket that hold my 7" Kindle fire beautifully. I am sure other tablets could be held here as well. There is space for books, a couple of pens, and a division liner inside the bag. One the straps there is also a horizontal chest strap that is well made and very adjustable. This bad is very much worth the money and I do recommend it to those people wanting good protection for their electronic devices. I give this 5 stars!!!!! Read more
