Stephen Riley Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I was going to purchase this bag for my new Macbook Air, but I'm reading a bunch of reviews stating its durability degrades relatively fast. What other laptop backpacks are out there that look nice, and last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted July 7, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 7, 2013 Did you look at the Targus backpacks? I've always gotten them for laptop backpacks. My original still works great, although it is too small. Meant for a 10" netbook, not a 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick831 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I use this one and love it: http://www.amazon.com/Wenger-GA-7305-14F00-SwissGear-Computer-Backpack/dp/B000NONHYY/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373240014&sr=1-3&keywords=swiss+army+backpack I have had it for about 3-4 years now and I have had no issues at all.

lars77 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I lean towards Brooklyn Industries's bags. I have an earlier version of this one, & mines is still perfect after ~5 years so seems pretty well made! And it's not ugly ;) (though that last point is more a personal preference, hah) http://www.brooklynindustries.com/product/conduit-tilt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted July 9, 2013 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 9, 2013 I love my Arcteryx laptop bag !!! and it is SUPER durable and water resistant. Just like you expect from them! But is was expensive in comparison! Just like everything they make. However, since I own a bunch of their stuff, and I love it, I pay more to get that. It has TONS of nice things inside, and separate areas and pockets, etc and it screams quality build... If you can afford it, you would not be disappointed. They come in 3 sized for Blade model. Video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8iYuFARud0 Amazon review: http://www.amazon.com/Arcteryx-Blade-24-Backpack/product-reviews/B001R4KUO4 maybe if you lucky you can find it for cheaper goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose_49 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 This thing can make it to hell and back: http://www.amazon.com/SwissGear-SA9769-Computer-Black-Gray/dp/B0019M6GP6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1373334480&sr=8-6&keywords=swiss+gear+backpack If you're like me that travels a lot, and usually overcramps its bagpack, need lots of space, have edgy things on it, and want something that can protect your laptop even if it falls. Then my friend, this thing is for you. I've purchased a Swiss Gear backpack 3 years ago and that thing is nearly unscathed. I've tried other less known brands, but they haven't managed to get it close. This will protect laptops up to 17 inches, and will let you carry lots of your stuff: cables, adapters, and much more. It can handle lots of weight (from my perspective) without tearing apart (heh, life time warranty isn't for show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 My Asus Zenbook Prime Touch has been made to travel in this Case Logic backpack. Love it! And at less than $30 the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted July 17, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hello, I would suggest looking at bags from Briggs + Riley, Eagle Creek, Tom Bihn, Trager USA and Tumi. Lots of different models and looks in various materials and at various prices. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
