Customers like the size of the backpack. They mention that it has enough space for everything, is strong enough, and has good quality.

The Wenger SwissGear Carbon computer backpack comes out of the box light as a feather, but looking tough as nails. Impressed by minimal use of fabrics that could snag or tear, beefy zippers, a braided steel cable handle, efficient padding, ergo-designed shoulder straps, and a stout-yet-narrow profile that says "I can fit most anywhere". Superior appearance and construction.
All accessible compartments are snug and offer plenty of space for my 14" laptop, power brick, extra cat5e cable and a few accessories. I do have to slip it in endwise for a proper fit (seems to be the design intent). Even a 17" should not be a problem. Getting items in and out of the backpack was relatively easy. Ample space for a datebook, folio, some files, folders, etc. Inside pockets were wisely sewn higher up to free space below for storage. Maybe one extra zippered side-pocket would have been nice, but the two stretch sleeves on each side get the job done. Most impressive is the comfort and ease of carrying this backpack. I like the handle when I transition from auto to pedestrian tasks, and then strap it on for jaunt to the office elevator. No matter how I've loaded it, it never feels awkward when I carry it. And the overall footprint is neither bulky or too wide. With backpacks this versatile, I'm done with shoulder bags and briefcases (yes, a student of the old school).
On the surface, this appears to be a very solid backpack with a relatively tough hide, efficient design, and a good brand standing behind it. It deserves the SwissGear name. It will get mostly local use 5-6 days a week, riding in my minivan, maybe occasionally on my bike. Long-distance traveling for business may be rare, but will occur. If need be, I'll provide an update once its broken in.
But, then, it's hard to find luggage with the rubberized zipper handles, I haven't seen any lately
save for the cheap looking bags with plastic zipper handles, so I probably would not give 5 stars to any backpack/notebook case.
Other than that the construction and materials are superb. Zippers open and close with ease I never found even with the top of the line YKK.
There are no storm flaps over zippers but the notebook compartment is mostly protected by an internal flap, so chances are that the contents
won't get wet before you would. Anyhow, in umbrella vs. hood argument umbrella wins if peace of mind is on the menu or you are
just a worry wart in general. A slightly wider internal flap would've gone a long way towards putting user at ease.
But I'm nit picking here. At $75 this is an excellent value, it probably is a decent value at $99 also.
The air channels on the back seem deep enough to work if you are unfortunate enough to walk in california august heat.
15" Mac book pro fits fine: 17" would probably fit also as evidenced by the absence of negative reviews. Two 15" laptops would likely fit also.
As would a 17" and 15" if you are getting a workout in such a twisted and an unusual way.
This backpack is even better than the Targus I took 3 years of intensive use to destroy (zippers) and, quite possibly, the best backpack overall of the
all backpacks that I ever owned.
UPD31032011: do not severely overload. After cramming a ton of stuff into the backpack (13" and 15" macbooks, etc) for an intercontinental flight
the backpack has some new creases. Targus did not have this problem with post overload fatigue.
Still, solid 4 stars for the overall feel.

Reviewed in Poland on January 15, 2024
This replacement is stronger, more rigid and has improved design features. It's very sturdy and stands on its own with a weatherproof underneath made of tough plastic. The zips seem strong and well sewn in. My only reservation is sometimes the teeth have misaligned when I zipped it up. It hasn't jammed at all but it's something I'm aware of and I will keep an eye on it. Great value, perfect size.
