Review: Great hybrid bag/backpack with quality and space! - ***UPDATE*** 6 years with this bag and, even with another laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme), It's still holding strong and I love it! The plastic straps for the shoulder strap--which I was initially worried about--lasted without any issue. I wouldn't trade it for any other laptop bag. I've even bought the Solo Ludlow Tablet bag for my Surface Pro 7. Excellent bag! I will definitely continue to use Solo New York for any laptop/tablet bag I need from now on! Original Post: This is a beautiful and spacious laptop bag that also become a backpack. Solo is known for making quality bags, and this one is no different. I was in the market for another bag, so I decided to choose this bag because it can also become a backpack--this was the selling point that made me get this one. The sides of bag and the inside sleeves are well insulated and cushioned to protect my laptop and tablet (there's a tablet sleeve that'll fit a 7-to-8-inch tablet on top of the laptop sleeve). The main compartment easily fits my HP ENVY 15 and has room to add a couple of notebooks/magazines inside. I carry an engineering pad, a folder, and a 1 subject notebook inside of this bag with room to spare. The main front pocket has 3 small and relatively shallow but useful pockets, with another pocket that can hold an external hard drive and two more that can hold pens, pencils, or styli. The space of this front pocket can easily hold my bulky laptop charger and mouse without looking bulging within the pocket. The other two front pockets are great for miscellaneous stuff such as wires, calculators, cell phones, etc. I hold a calculator, assorted wires, a mini stapler with a case of staples, and a compass. If I had one thing to worry about with this bag, it would be the plastic clips that are used for the shoulder strap and backpack straps. This isn't about any Solo product, but I've had issues with plastic clips with other laptop cases before. These seem sturdy, but only time will tell. I'm overall very satisfied with this hybrid bag/backpack, and I look forward to keeping this bag for years to come. As with any of my reviews, I'll be updating this one as time passes. If you're looking for a good bag, this one may be the choice for you! Review: Great Do-it-all Laptop Case and Bag: Ideal for Business Travelers! - As a frequent business traveler, I've been looking for a replacement for my leather Mcklein brief which could barely fit my dell XPS 15 and its charger without looking overstuffed. My requirements where: 1. Formal enough for the office and no black nylon 2. Big enough for a laptop, charger, notepad, water bottle and miscellaneous items 3. Ideally converts into a backpack for when I want to free up my hands or walk long distance I'm so glad I found this briefcase on desertcart because I was prepared to shell out WAY more. The grey canvas exterior is classy enough for the office and casual enough to serve as a travel backpack. It stands out against the black leather and nylon bags that everyone uses. I've gotten complements on it's look as well as "wows" when I turn it into a backpack when we enter the subway. The interior has a padded laptop pocket that fits my laptop and a notepad with room to spare. The main compartment can fit a power brick and even a blanket without looking "stuffed." The smaller side pouch is ideal for a water bottle or small collapsible umbrella, and the larger front zip-pouch can fit any of those things and contains small pockets ideal for cash, cards, and a passport. While I haven't done weekend traveling with it yet, it will easily fit a change of clothing, a light jacket, a camera and other items. I have used the straps and they are surprisingly comfortable. I'm 5 foot 8 in and the height of the bag in backpack mode is just right for me: not too big or too small. While some have complained about the plastic hardware, I think SOLO made the right call. The black plastic is lighter than equivalent metal buckles and goes better with the grey aesthetic. The only thing I wish this bag had was an exterior water bottle pouch, but I get why the went with the enclosed zipper pouches- so when you turn it from a brief into a backpack nothing falls out! Overall I'm very happy with this bag as it's replaced at least 2 bags in my travel inventory: by business briefcase and my regular backpack!

Very impressive bag for a very reasonable price
I recently purchased a new laptop intended for gaming and didn't get myself a case because I had one from my previous laptop that I figured was going to fit. Sad to say, it came just fractions of an inch shy so I needed a way to transport the computer safely. After a lot of browsing, I stumbled on this little gem and already I am beyond satisfied with it! For the price I paid, this thing is extremely impressive in that it doubles as a briefcase/messenger bag and a backpack as well. It seems very sturdy and easily passes the professional appearance mark for when I cart this thing into the office. The bag comes with a separate shoulder strap cord that attaches as needed to the proper hooks and also has fold in-pull out straps that attach to create the backpack. What I love most about it is the amount of storage space in this thing -- the front pouches easily hold an Xbox 360 controller and the massive brick of a power supply unit that keeps my laptop charged. Inside, my 15.6" laptop fits very securely and with some room to spare, as well as additional pockets for a tablet device and other documents/folders/etc. I personally have no hangups with the look and design of this bag because it functions exactly as I need it to while still making it seem less obvious that I'm carting a laptop around. The only thing that remains to be seen is the longevity of the product, though I'm optimistic.

Received fresh quality good one on time. Thank you. Also received gift voucher but lot of conditions. Not able to use. Prefer sending gift voucher to the account, customers can purchase what they want from the local market.

Excelente mochila! Se ve profesional pero también pasa por una mochila casual. A penas llevo una semana de usarla pero la siento segura y resistente, espero dure bastante. Tal vez podría tener más compartimentos o bolsas pero sin duda cabe todo bien. Por último aunque menciona que solo las laptops de Apple de 17 pulgadas caben, yo tengo una Acer de 17 pulgadas y cabe perfecto así que yo creo cualquier lap top aunque sea grande puede caber.

I specifically wanted a fully opening zip round bag. The picture shows the zip going all the way to the bottom but on the other side (not shown) it doesn't. very unhelpful and a pitfall of buying on line! Otherwise OK.
