LEVEL8 Laptop Backpack, Work Backpack for Men Women, Travel Computer Bag for Business Fits 15.6" Laptop and Notebook - Black

I love this laptop backpack!. The laptop storage padding is the best I have ever seen. The zippers are super sturdy and look like they will last forever. There are TONS of storage areas that were planned out well. The strap to allow the bag to be placed over a carry on luggage handle is super handy when travelling. I can hold two laptops if one is relatively small. I carry a 15.6" gaming laptop and a 14" Dell laptop in a pouch that is in the same area that the main laptop padded area is in. It doesn't look like a stereotypical laptop bag either. It looks more like a business bag than something a college student would carry. I love how much can fit in the backpack without it being super wide too. It doesn't feel like a camping backpack like some other large backpacks do.If you want a backpack that looks professional, has tons of storage options and will protect your laptop well, get this!

Soooo, I think I've officially hit middle age, and I work at the corporate offices for a large corporation. It's time to ditch the loud colorful backpacks I've been leaning towards for the past 30 years. I travel from time to time for work as well, and I need to carry my laptop, iPad and other work odds and ends as well as the standard book and magazine for a flight or long train ride. Enter me looking for a new sleek black bag for the office. I came across the Level 8 Atlas and thought to myself "This looks exactly like the bag I've been looking for." So.... I went ahead and ordered it. This was a great decision. I love this bag. It has lots of organization and... by far.... the absolute best laptop sleeve I have ever not only used, but seen in a bag. This thing is seriously amazing. It fits both my current Mac BookPro and my old massive Dell. And the bag's fit and feel is great. super comfortable to wear for a long time, and the top grab handle is made form what appears to be the same type of breaded metal bike chain. But it is covered with a nice black rubber grab handle to both cover it up for ascetics and make it comfortable to hold in the hand. In addition it is also TSA compliant with the 180 degree lay flat. So next time I head through airport security, I don't need to take everything out of my bag! I'm very happy with this bag.

I got this same model of backpack back in 2009 from my closest Apple storewhen I was a senior in college. That backpack lasted through 5 more years of school (diploma, Bachelors) and numerous travels through airport security, biking around, and even a few camping trips.I ordered a new one (price drop!) because I lost a zipper or two and the general wear and tear of such a durable item over the years. I'm happy to see they updated it to include a tablet protector inside the main compartment. (Normally I'd stick my kindle in between a few paperbacks.)So this backpack will last you years. What's more, the laptop protecting part is still (in my opinion) the best designed I've seen. The cushioning has some high level of tech and planning that does the job well without weighing down the entire backpack. I've been knocked off my bicycle (laptop inside) and the laptop was fine; also I've been careless sometimes, and the laptop (MacBook Pro mid 2009) is still my daily driver.So my point is, the build quality of this rather price-advantageous backpack is superb, better than any others I've used or seen friends use. The appearance is subtle and yet the material is high grade. Perfect for any student, and now that I'm entering graduate school and approaching a full time job, maybe the only backpack I could say is "business casual," so no need to go the hipster route of a messenger bag.I can't recommend this enough.

I teach and I bought this Level 8 backpack in July, 2019 to use as my work bag. I walk to work daily and carry my laptop, folders with assignments to grade, a pen bag, sunglasses in their case, a water bottle, a coffee mug, charging cords, and other miscellaneous gear. I've even gotten a pair of shoes to fit in it so I don't have to wear my winter boots all day! I've also flown with this backpack and gotten it to fit under my seat (taking care to not overfill it).More pluses: The style is very professional looking and understated. The carrying handle is convenient and quite heavy duty, so no issues at all with that. There are several compartments which make it easy to organize a wide variety of daily work necessities and/or supplies for traveling. Also, the weight distributes well across my shoulders making this comfortable to walk with daily.However, it's January 2024 and the zipper on the main compartment, where the computer goes, is broken, rendering the backpack nearly useless. The other components are high quality and still in very good condition, so the lightweight zipper is the Achilles heel of this backpack, IMHO. Unfortunately, the price is now into triple digits, which is more than I'm willing to spend. Four and a half years is okay, but I was really hoping to get more years out of it.
