Description
Built to the same stringent standards as the Genuine Swiss Army Knife, the SwissGear Carbon backpack offers a specially designed computer pocket that completely encloses and protects your 17-inch MacBook Pro. Its construction pays special attention to your comfort, incorporating air-flow back padding and shock-absorbing shoulder straps, including two special ergonomic handles.

To put all your gear in place, Carbon provides five distinct inner compartments and a two-sided removable accessory pouch. There's an easily accessible essentials organizer in the front. And to keep your music safe and sound, Carbon includes a special sleeve for your iPod, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle--along with a port for the headset cord so you can listen while you're on the move. The backpack also features a case base for greater stability when you sit it down.

I am a road warrior in the IT space. This is, by far, the best backpack I've ever owned. I've had other Wengers, Port and Kensington backpacks.The shoulder and back padding is excellent. The riveted cable handle is very sturdy. This backpack has travelled on planes with me for about 2 years and it is still in excellent condition. Very well made with interior pockets mounted high in the bag to increase usable space. Of course, it also stands up on its own.
It's hard finding a decent bag that will fit the macbook pro 17 that doesn't look stupid. This is stylish as well as functional. I must admit, it is a little heavy, but this isn't the bags fault as the power supply and laptop contribute to much of the weight. I love the reinforced handle at the top for grab and go, in addition to the comfortable shoulder straps. All in all, it's a great buy for the money.
This backpack is slightly taller than others to accommodate a 17" laptop, particularly 17" MacBook Pro. This is a fantastic backpack especially considering that it costs so little in comparison to other similar backpacks. I love the little pocket on the top for a badge, headphones, car keys, wallet, etc. It is very comfortable to wear, and it is very slim in profile, so that when you wear it, you do not look like you are geared to cross the Alps. It keeps your expensive computer safe and sound and has a lot of space for all kinds of gear. One thing I wish it had is more padding under the computer on the bottom of the backpack so that when you put the pack on a hard surface, the side of the laptop facing the ground would have been more padded and protected.
