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.

I've had one of these for years. Use it every single day. Jam laptops, food, clothes, papers, and all kinds of misc crap into it. Never balks. The only reason I bought a new one is 2 of the zippers finally bought the farm. I'm very rough with my pack and I frequently pick it up and drag it around by the zippers (bad habit) so I don't even consider it a flaw in the pack. Except for the padding showing some rubbing wear after many years, the pack is flawless. I use the old one to carry extra sets of towels for vet trips. Very happy with this purchase and well worth the money. A+!!

I mainly bought this backback because it has a luggage loop to easily attach to a wheeled suitcase. I got sick of my old laptop bag constantly falling off my suitcase (no one wants to wear a backpack if they don't have to).

But after having this bag for a few months, it's quite clear how well thought out the design is. The padding is solid and it's quite roomy - I can fit all my laptop peripherals as well a few extra items with no trouble, and the large pouches on the side can actually fit my large 40oz water bottle, a rarity in my expericne! Easy access phone compartment is another great addition. Lots of little pouches and separators help you keep things organized. The laptop compartment has double zippers and is large and well padded. Two loops at the top give you the option of having a thick handle to carry it with or a small handle to hang it from, and of course the luggage loop so that you can attach to a suitcase handle. Clearly someone put some time into developing a backpack that's well equipped for just about any scenario.

Perfect for travel or just going to the coffee shop!

I have officially not traveled with it yet.....but my initial take is that its a NICE pack! I was considering the Kenneth Cole, or this pack, as BOTH had GREAT reviews, but I chose this one as I like Samsonite name, and to be honest...the LOOK! (I saw a review on the Kenneth Cole that said it looked like a turtle shell, and I agreed!) I am SURE the K Cole pack is nice, but I am happy I picked this one so far!
Well designed with a number of pockets! The side pockets are well built! The nylon is thick and a good weave! Build quality seems to be very good! I will pack this thing FULL and HEAVY, and I have confidence it will wear well! The features are nice!
My only complaint at this point is I wish it had a few SMALL zip pockets on the outside! (For change? Or small "need to get to" items?)
For the price I have to say you CAN'T GO WRONG with this pack! Plus, I won't look like a turtle..... it's ready to see the world!

5.0 out of 5 stars #1 Favorite Winter Urban Pack
Reviewed in Canada on December 22, 2022
Size: 18 x 13.3 x 8.6Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I like it better than my Everki Atlas, because that thing is a brick. Really nice pack, but with a heavy and overbuilt laptop area.

This is feather light, and has every pocket I need.
Like all Samsonite packs, the straps suck, but they are not Backpacking packs, they are for travel and commuting, and the straps are fine for that.

It's not the most fashionable pack, just black nylon, but it's not s fashion back pack, just utility. But it has a very high quality feel and look, It's very black if you know what I mean. I got the black on black one.

It's big, not sure if it fits a 17.3 laptop, I think it says it fits most 17inch laptops? Mine is 15.6" so no prob.

I need a big pack in the winter, extra everything as I live in Canada and it gets cold and rainy. Also this thing is pretty waterproof I'm sure, it's really heavy nylon web.

I like the side pockets, a commuter bag needs open side pockets, no zippers, as water bottles, umbrellas, coffee travelers etc, need to go in and out seemlessly, one handed. They still need to be tight enough to not let said items fly out when running for a bus, cross light. It's a fine line, but it's really really important!

That's about it, the glasses compartment could be wider at the mouth, as I put my whole glasses case in, and it fits, but I have to drop it in sideways, and then it can sit flat, so no biggee.

Expensive.. I got one on the warehouse store for less, $60 or something, very happy at that price. I don't think I would pay $200 for it.

But it is an Endgame Backpack. There is not much beyond this as far as a large winter commuter.

La mochila, aunque en apariencia tiene un tamaño regular, tiene una capacidad enorme además de plenitud de bolsas y compartimentos. El espacio para laptop permite meter computadoras de 17 pulgadas. Las agarraderas y las cintas son tan cómodas que puedes cargar varios kilos en su interior sin cansarte, sin dolor y sin miedo a que se rompa la mochila. Un producto de muy alta calidad.

I fly weekly and have a tablet and all my work equipment + a night or two's clothes and it all fits. Great size. The strength of the material means it's never felt as though it's going to rip. Plenty of pockets. Best part, I went in store and found it near double the price than what I paid here. So yeah, recommend to anyone in this market.
