EVERKI Atlas Business Laptop Backpack - Women's or Men's Backpack for Work with 13" - 17.3" Adjustable Compartment, 32L Capacity Back Pack - Travel Friendly Office Back Pack Laptop Bag (EKP121), Black

WOW! This is an absolutely FANTASTIC bag. I had never heard of Everki before, and certainly not the Atlas backpack. However, on a recent flight (as a traveling consultant, planes are my second home), I happened to be standing behind a guy with an Everki pack. As a long-time Arcteryx fan -- smart, bomb-proof packs with great styling -- I admired the pack this gent was wearing as it looked just as solid as my beloved Arcteryx Blade 24.Fast forward a few months, and I find myself in a situation where I need to commute with two separate laptops. As much as I love the Arcteryx Blade, it just wasn't big enough to accommodate two laptops and all of the sundry gear that goes with them. So, I did some quick searches out on the interwebs for a purpose-built, multi-computer bag, and Everki kept coming up, and with high ratings. So, with some fresh travel coming up, I decided that now was the time to take the plunge and give the Atlas a try. I just received the bag a couple of days ago.I had high expectations of the Everki (having seen one in the wild before), but I was absolutely blown away by the build quality of the Atlas. This thing is industrial and built to take a beating. You can just feel the quality on this thing. Top quality materials are used in its construction, and there is heavy use of Cordura, parachute material, rivets, and heavy stitching. The zippers are large -- kind of similar to the oversized zippers used on Ogio bags -- and they open and close without a hint of snagging. Like my beloved Arcteryx, I wasn't able to find a single loose stitch or fray, and the attention to detail, fit, and finish is obvious from the moment you heft it. I say that because this is not a light bag. It is designed to carry a lot of equipment, and to do so safely.But the real surprise was just how well laid-out this bag is with a simply ridiculous amount of pockets and storage. I was able to fit both the 15" MacBook Pro and my Dell 15", along with two satchels, each with power bricks, cords, etc., AS WELL AS my Epson projector AND two O'Reilly reference books. And I still had room for extra power strips, international power converter, and even my sunglasses case. And there is extra room to spare. I am a huge fan of minimalist solutions, which is why the Arcteryx appealed so much to me. And, despite the crazy amount of pockets and storage space in the Atlas, it is so well designed that all of it doesn't seem excessive, and it still has a general feeling of minimalism and still maintains a reasonably small profile when all zipped up.I spend a great deal of time and perform a great deal of research on gear that I purchase as I like to make the purchase only once. I buy only the highest quality gear that I can afford, regardless of the price, and I have very high expectations for products that I've purchased. I can say unequivocally that the Everki Atlas has far exceed my expectations in all regards. It is with bittersweet feelings that I relinquish my Arcteryx Blade 24 to my daughter, who does quite a bit of business travel, too, and I plan on staying the Everki course from this point forward, as long as they continue to deliver top quality products such as this.Absolutely five stars!*** 2nd Trip Update ***So, I've taken this bag on two trips now and have a much better understanding of how well it works with my "office in a bag" concept, including working with the airlines. The bag is absolutely the perfect bag for traveling with two laptops. Plenty of storage space, very well organized and sorted, and just plain easy to use. One thing I really appreciated about the bag on these trips were the very wide and well-designed shoulder straps. I'm guessing that my bag comes in at over 20 lbs, and I found the wide straps to be completely comfortable and perfectly positioned and designed. I also appreciate that the bag is designed to stand on its own, which makes loading and unloading very easy. I remain so very thrilled with this purchase. Also, absolutely no problems with the bag as of this time -- no sticking zippers, no unraveling threads or stitches, or anything of the sort. I think I've finally found, "The One". I'll give a six-month review, just to provide some insight into how the bag wears over the long-run. Reiterate: 5-stars, well earned.

I’ve been a public transit commuter and, most recently, hybrid worker in a metropolitan area. Over the years, I’ve purchased five specious, cheaper backpacks which, after a year or less, literally fell apart (SwissGear, anyone?). Tired of this recurring nuisance and not wanting to resemble a high school or college student, over the last five months or so, I’ve been eyeing higher quality backpacks.I came across the Everki brand and scoured customer review videos. Candidly, the loftier Onyx Premium Executive Laptop Backpack was tempting – but the price point was a bit high. Once I decided to bite the bullet and buy, I settled on this model one rung down, since it was on sale for 30 percent off – about a $180 difference from the top-end version.Three weeks in, I’m delighted with the purchase:-Composition: A+. The outside material is a pleasure to touch. The large, easy-to-use zippers are terrific. The stitching appears sound and strong. The orange-and-black pattern looks great. This pack can hold whatever I need for a workday away from home.-Ergonomics: A+. An unexpected gem was how well this pack fits onto my hips, especially when fastening the front straps. Even while freighting a whole load of laptops and Batgear to-and-fro, my back actually feels good.-Top pouch: A+. Just what the doctor ordered and perfect to quicky stash away small but frequently used gadgets. It fits two pairs of glasses (one in a soft case), my Kindle, a watch, etc.-Back most compartment: A+. This has the optimal space for earphone storage and an outside beautiful copper ring (to hang something on).-Handle/loops: A+. The handle grip feels terrific. Plus, there’s a separate loop for hanging.-Laptops slots: A. It fits two laptops! Orange, fuzzy, and resilient. I know my stuff will be well-protected. However, the slots for mice, etc. could be a bit larger.-Side pockets: A. While these zipped compartments are a bit smaller than the webbing on other models, the design for holding a water bottle is neat. And a computer charger/cord fits nicely into one of these.-Smaller compartments: B+. One of the main pouches has an array of slots for keys, odds-and-ends, pens, etc. However, it doesn’t zip down quite far enough. Also, while I generally love keyholder features on backpacks, I modified the one on this version with a keychain clip to make storing keys a bit easier.-Open slot: B-. This is advertised as a quick-and-easy back spot for books, newspapers, etc. And it’s rather handy for a raincoat, cap, quickly stashing one’s phone away, etc. However, this particular version lacks magnets to hold it shut (a feature on the Onyx Premium). Plus, there’s no guard against precipitation. Hence, I’m be a little reluctant to tote electronic Batgear there. This isn’t really a drawback, though.-Perhaps nice-to-haves but lacking: A brilliant feature of the Matein brand is a waist-level compartment on the straps side to deter theft. The Onyx Premium has a similar feature as well, which, in addition to deterring theft, shields against RFID detection. A feature like that on this backpack would be nice, but isn’t necessary given the top compartment’s accessibility (and it might disrupt the ergonomics?).-Auxiliary: I added zipper pulls to all the zippers, as it makes my setup a bit easier. I also put in a clip on the back ring to hold caps on pleasant and hot days. This is personal preference and by no means necessary.-Overall grade: Solid A, like a 97 percent. This backpack has become my office and I couldn’t recommend it more highly for 2025 hybrid urban environments (especially if you can find it on sale). Its durability is clear, functionality stellar, and Feng Shui captivating.
