Wenger Cobalt 600629, 16 Inch Laptop Backpack, 23 Litre, Padded Laptop Sleeve, Ergonomic Design, Ideal for Business, School, Travel, Airport, Uni, Blue (23 x 35 x 46 cm)

OK so the first thing I want put in this review is the capacity as I couldn't find it on here and didn't know until the product turned up. It's a 24 litre bag, so what does that mean? Well,let me start at the beginning.The reason that I wanted a decent laptop bag was because I am a computer science student, when at uni I have to transport quite sizable (and quite dull) books along with my laptop (and all associated peripherals) and regularly stay at my girlfriends and need a change of clothes. I also ride a bike which is no mean feat when carrying all of the above, trust me!I ordered the bag on Saturday and it turned up on the following Monday. I'm currently working over the Easter holiday to make some extra cash (whilst juggling with revision), problem is, it's a 4 mile round trip to the office.I've always been a fan of walking bags (the types that walkers use, not bags that literally walk) because I'm quite active and never no when I'm going to need the extra space and comfort that they offer. prior to ordering this bag I was using a compact 20 litre bag and putting my laptop in a case with it's charger etc) in the bag but found that I would have to make a choice between books or clothes if ever I was to stay at my girlfriends house for the night.As of Monday however, that has all changed! like I said this is a 24 litre bag but if there is one thing that the swiss seem to excel at, it's getting the most out of the available space, so here's the list of stuff I have to take to work with me daily.1 macbook pro (13 inch)1 macbook pro charger (held in Quirky powercurl )1 usb mouse1 4x usb hub1 100 sheet A4 refil pad1 data structures course text (840 pages)1 AI course text (190 pages)1 pencil case (full)1 sunglasses case1 pair trousers1 short sleeve shirt1 regular sized lunch box1 bottle water (50 cl)1 towel (hand)1 bottle vo5 hair gel (mega hold)1 jar vo5 extreme style (matt clay)1 bottle fcuk body spray1 bicycle pump1 bicycle toolkit (Draper)2 bike lights (front/rear)Now believe me when I say that the bag is comfortably full with all this stuff in it, you could probably fit more in but you'd have to start cramping stuff and probably end up with hair gel on your work clothes but still it's needless to say I was well impressed that I could actually fit everything in.Even with this full load, because of the so called "comfort straps" the bag is incredibly easy going on the shoulders and in fact feels lighter than my old bag with less stuff in it.The "SWISSGUARD Computer Pocket" is a real piece of ingenuity and although I use a 13 inch laptop which gets swallowed in the pocket, the construction insures that the laptop is completely secure.The only problem I have now is remembering which pocket has what stuff in it but that also offers a slight mini-game experience whenever I need to find a pen I guess.

I have been using this bag for the past year of uni. Given that I live in a city that is not very car friendly, I cycle to my lectures, for shopping, to the library, etc.I have to say, in the entire year I have used this bag, only on one occasion was I unable to fit all the items I required into one. The space inside is MASSIVE. I use it to carry my textbooks (which are huge and extremely heavy as I study Medicine), shopping (which often includes 4 x 2L bottles of water), laptop and books to the library, etc.In regard to the laptop compartment, it fits my 15 Inch MacBook Pro well (the new retina slim MacBook Pro might be less secure in it as its thinner), and also fits with the laptop in a case. The Velcro fastening gives it a tight fit, and the laptop is secure.The straps and back of the case are EXTREMELY well padded, and so even with my laptop and textbooks the backpack is comfortable to wear. As for Durability, it has lasted the year of abuse with no damage at all, which is remarkable.In addition to the large main pocket at the back (with the laptop case at the very back of the compartment) there is another section in front which is smaller, but is the full height of the bag so can fit a lot in. On the very front there are two small pockets, one which is just a pocket and one which has additional pockets inside for pens, etc. Each side of the bag has space for a water bottle to sit in.Overall a great bag for students and workers alike!

I bought this rucksack to replace my old ripcurl one for work. I regularly travel so I needed one that would protect my laptop and peripherals, leaving over some room for extra things (clothes, food, books etc) and this bag meets all requirements. The main section is divided into two; a heavily padded 15.6" laptop part with a velcro holder and a general use area that could easily fit in another similar sized laptop, for size, minus protective padding. There is a similar sized compartment in front of the main one that can easily hold books, magazines, pens and so on. Right at the front there are two smaller pockets for smaller items such as MP3 players, phones, wallets and so on.I mainly use this bag to transport around my work gear; laptop, personal tablet, pad, pen, a book or two and my lunch and it does so with room to spare. When using it for travel I can easily fit in the above with a day's worth of clothing making it perfect for overnight stays and trips.The bag itself is very comfortable, with very well padded straps to protect your shoulders and foam sections for your back. Even when the laptop is full and fairly heavy, it is still comfortable to wear. The build quality is excellent and it seems like it will last a long period of excessive use.Overall I'm giving it 5/5. The bag is well made, with lots of compartments and pockets to suit your every need, provides very secure laptop storage and is comfortable to wear. Would highly recommend to anyone who transports a laptop around or just travels a lot in general.
