Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not Too Bad of a Backpack Overall, I've enjoyed this Lenovo backpack since I purchased it. It appears to be well made and relatively sturdy. It fits my Think Pad perfectly. The extra storage spots are really helpful as well. The only drawback is that it is a little smaller than I had anticipated based on the photo. As a result, there's often a snug fit when it's on your back. Other than that, there haven't been any issues thus far. I got it on sale so I am quite happy with the value for the price I paid. I would definitely recommend it but I would also suggest that if your budget allows, spend the extra money and go for the pro version.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Basic, but smartly designed, bag The finish is a simple, though thick, nylon weave that I expect will last several years of rigorous use. The zippers are functional and operate smoothly. Pocket design promotes accessability to small and large items with little digging. Overall, the bag looks much nicer online than in person, and can be better thought of as an ok "grade schooler" bag in finish. Similar to school bags, the padding is also not robust. The shoulder straps are thin and provide no cushioning for heavier loads. The body is also lightly padded. The padding seems merely capable of giving the bag shape when empty, rather than cushioning the contents. Also, the bottle holders are a bit too small for many popular brands. Overall, if you need a spare "daily driver" bag, this is better than many other brands at this price point. But, for 2-4x as much you can get much nicer backpacks. If I were stashing AV and computing equipment in backpacks for kit out portable offices or a tech library for staff, I might use a stack of these as the kit bag. But I don't think it will have a long life as my regular backpack.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good materials' choice and great Thinkpad branding I started using my bag 2 weeks ago and I am satisfied with the overall quality and brand design. I only have a comment about the front bag that is angled and the zipper is forced causing the zipper to be stressed out and might have a short life if I take good care. The feature I was looking is the upper front bag to carry my proximity badge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeded Expectations The backpack has very comfortable straps, a variety of pocket size and locations, and so far has exceeded my expectations. I work online so I bought it initially to travel between coffee shops, libraries, and home. Since then I have used it for light travel and other small jobs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good grab for the price Bag was half off when purchased in conjunction with a laptop. Overall it’s great, slim but still has enough room and pockets for the essentials. The quality of the zippers is questionable so you will have to your time to ensure they don’t break over the life of the bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Light, Quality, Very Well Designed. I have several other laptop backpacks. This Lenovo one is now my favourite. It is smaller which I thought would be a disadvantage, but in truth, it is the perfect size. I have more than enough room for my accessories as well as documents, files, and notebooks. I am giving away my other backpacks. I even use the X1 leather case with my laptop inside this one and there is more than enough room. Minimalistic design but it actually works.......

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bag, does not attach to suitcase I ordered this bag as it was pictured as having a strap on the back of it that would let you attach it to your suitcase, but unfortunately that was not actually a feature of the bag. I returned it and advised customer service of the error. Still giving 4 stars because otherwise the bag was great, tons of pockets and compartments which I love to keep things separated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A nice upgrade I have been using a large computer bag for about 15 years that is no longer appropriate for lighter, smaller equipment. I carried an Ethernet hub so we could share images during design reviews in the old days because some people didn't have WiFi on their computer or the the facility didn't have adequate bandwidth for 6 or 8 users. My new Lenovo bag is clean, padded, will remaining upright, can be used as a bag with a carry handle or as a backpack, leaving both hands free.
