Disc. I am a college student studying to be a Computer Network Support specialist, and believe that having a great dependable bag to hold my laptop for classes and future internship of basic computer responsibilities and troubleshooting and diagnosing computer networks on the go, I would definitely choose this bag even though it cost me almost $90. But how I see it is, if the item helps you greatly price matters not.
I have been waiting to post a review about the Samsonite Tectonic second generation backpack for a little while, but I had to field test this first and help customers looking for a large backpack to find what they need with all honesty. It has simply put been the best backpack I have ever had, I owned the first generation backpack, but was disappointed in that because when set down to stand on its own it would keep falling, but now with better more sturdier materials this backpack is surely a milestone in improved quality and overall performance.
It’s larger
The water bottle holders on the sides have been improved. Unlike the annoying red strap holder on the first Gen backpack
Better laptop only sleeve in which come in two sizes to match the size of a laptop from 15'' to 18'' laptops.
The inside pockets are more suede and pose less scratch, chances to devices and objects.
The backpack straps are vastly improved and much more comfortable than the 1st Gen Tectonic.
Overall, it truly is the best laptop backpack I have ever owned.
I hope this first review has helped you in deciding to buy or look into this great Laptop bag.

Solid and substantial
First impressions are quite positive. It’s big but not huge, which is perfect. Feels supremely nice and substantial; sturdy and well built. From the zippers, upper handle and materials overall.It’s comfortable to use, padding makes a big difference compared to the Ogio bag I’m retiring after 10 years. Tons of compartments, which are well thought of and useful. Subtle orange details spice it up without taking away the professional demeanor from it.All things considered, it’s a compelling buy. This backpack will mainly serve for office duty and I believe it fits the purpose quite well. A small portion of the front pocket has a sewing or stitching issue. But that may be a seller issue.Regardless, I’m very happy with it and would buy again.EDIT:After a few months of purchase, my thoughts are still the same. Already traveled with it and it was a good companion. Holding up well so far. Still satisfied with purchase.
