"The laptop I am using this for (the Acer Chromebook 14) does not specifically fit in the little sleeves on the sides, but I am not sure if it is really supposed to (see screenshot below)?"
"I'm between 3 and 4 stars on this bag."
"This is a pretty nice bag which I bought to store, and carry, my Samsung Chromebook."
"It's fine, I purchased this for a 7th grade boy who carries his school-issued Chromebook in this everyday back and forth from school so it does suffer daily heavy (ab)use."
"I don't always just use this for my work laptop, that I usually only bring home on weekends."
"The case was great and fit my Toshiba Satellite snug and securely. "Nah, that's just a once in a blue moon scenario" I told myself after reading it. I shuddered the same phrase as I watched the case fall corner first. Opened the bag to find my 850 dollar laptop with a dented frame and shattered screen."
"The combination of these two problems has led to my laptop suffering corner damage from falling onto pavement when I picked up my bag by the strap, and it decided to let go."
Organizational compartments for pens, keys, and cell phone.

The second compartment is not as deep or wide as the other pockets but goes down the whole length of the backpack. The rear compartment has a padded area for the laptop, a shallow pocket and another huge area that's as big as the 3rd compartment. The front compartment is padded, the handle is padded, the shoulder straps are very well padded and the areas that will be pressing against your shoulder blades and lower back are thickly padded, too."
"Things I like about this laptop backpack... + Economical retail price makes it a good choice for those on tight budgets. + Side cinch-latch system for making the backpack's depth greater or smaller. - The nylon that separates compartments is very thin, and feels like it could easily tear or be punctured. - Light to medium-weight canvas construction is on par with its price point, but this backpack could be improved with just a slightly heavier material choice. 8/5/14**. Made in China for AmazonBasics, I think this backpack is OK for its price and features, but if I were purchasing one, I'd spend a smidge more and go with another option. My favorite is the Rosewill 15.6-Inch Notebook Computer Backpack (RMBP-11001) - I personally own two of them and have given them as gifts which were well received - offers better laptop protection, plenty of storage (pockets), and has superior construction to this model, for only slightly more money."
"It held all my tools I needed: multi-tool, screwdriver, crimps, diag-cutters, adapters, notepads, pens, markers, cables, 17" laptop and charger, iPad Air, work gloves, flashlight, spare parts, etc. Lately I have been traveling with this bag on commercial flights as checked luggage, maybe twic, since I carry so many tools for my work. In my experience, manufacturers skimp on the zipper quality, causing it to easily crack or completely break if you try to pry at it with needle-nosed pliers or screwdriver."

"Whether for a student overwhelmed with de facto required school materials or an on-the-go portable worker, this backpack offers the absolute most for its remarkably fair price. The Swiss Gear SA1908 backpack should be the end-goal of anyone looking for a very versatile backpack that will last them perhaps in the double-digits of years."
"I used this backpack to carry my laptop on a two week trip to Europe."
"I highly doubt this is an original Swiss Gear product."
"I bought this item from amazon seller and just within 2 months its stitches started coming off.. it came with 5 year warranty but when contacted seller they don't provide any warranty and manufacturer provide it only if its purchased directly from them..so bottom line DO NOT BUY...and if you have to buy it from another seller or different website... DO NOT BUY IT FROM HERE... i am attaching picture too.."
"I don't mean that the zipper handle unzipped itself, I mean that the closed zipper came apart in the middle, and because it was on my back & loaded with a laptop, the laptop half came crashing down hitting me in the back of the leg. But if the zipper won't stay closed, I'll be returning it shortly. I contacted Swiss Gear and they informed me that "Your Wenger / Swiss Gear bag was manufactured by Group III International, not TRG Group." They did offer to fix it, and I'm embarrassed to say that I was too lazy to bother sending it back."
"Mark Lachniet on February 17, 2015 wrote "Also fits 17.3" Dell Alienware / 17R2 (2015) " which is why I bought it."

If you are running after a rental car bus and drag the wheels sideways across concrete or asphalt streets and sidewalks the wheels will sustain those flattened spots around the wheel that make loud thumping noises when you return to hard floor surfaces to roll it in conventional/normal use. There are bags with wheels made from better rubber compounds that better resist abuse. Not a deal breaker-- If you are careful to not drag the bad sideways when running fast while rolling the wheels with telescope extended, then this is not a problem."
"With the placement of the wheels, it rides very smooth, even over rough surfaces like parking lots and streets. The second zippered pocket has enough room for pens and pencils, sticky notes, computer cables, business cards, cell phone, and whatever else you may need to pack. The third pocket is what made my final decision to purchase this case because it has a divider in it to store and separate files."
"The telescoping handle started to get funny a couple months ago, and finally broke this week. It looks like the one one, except the logos, the actual handle, and a couple of seam finishes have been changed. Aside for the broken handle the old one looks just a little more worn, but doesn't at all reflect the 6 years of hard wear and flying that it went through."
"I was nervous to order a rolling one online because you can't exactly tell what the quality is, but as soon as I opened it I took pictures and came to post about it because it is that good!"
"If it weren't for that, it would be excellent--good use of space, thoughtful design, spacious."

"since i`m wearing this bag on right shoulder, zipper to access my device is behind me."
"Almost perfect for walking around NY with my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" with touchbar and a few dongles/adapters (since you need at least 2-3 for usb-c)."
"Everything looks and feels really sturdy with an exemplary plush material inside the laptop pocket."
"This has exponentially better protection and even holds my mouse and power adapter."
"Quite simply, I find not one thing wrong with this product."
"This bag is VERY nice!"
"I have been able to fit my laptop and an 8 inch tablet in the main compartment but it is a tight fit."

"I searched for several weeks for a professional-looking bag to carry my 15" Macbook Pro, my charger, pens, and a few notebooks and books. I also knew that I preferred a distressed leather bag with slide-in buckles and a very sturdy shoulder strap (that wouldn't stretch out with use). It came as a lighter color than is pictured, but I bought a $5.00 can of mink oil and rubbed it down. The leather is very sturdy and holds up well when the bag is sitting on the floor...it doesn't fall over like a lot of the more expensive bags. The only issue I've had with the bag is that after about a week of use (carrying it to work and school and back), one of the slide buckles will no longer hold (it just slides out) and keeps the flap from securing on one side."
"I wanted leather, I needed to hold a 15" laptop, I wanted a bag large enough to hold my every day carry items (EDC) as well as being durable and professional looking. Fits perfectly in the bag with the laptop and makes quite the dynamic duo that has gotten me tons of compliments."
"Beautiful bag, awesome high quality leather and high quality parts with awesome customer service."
"The bottom line though is that he's simply using it the way it should be used, that is, stuffing alot into it and carting it back and forth from class to class so I certainly wouldn't say that it's out of the ordinary but it probably sees more use than most. Anyway, since August, the stitching has pulled out in many spots, mostly around the top of the bag which sees more wear from opening and closing."
