   Excellent backpack for the money. Lots of pockets for lots of little odds and ends. The laptop pocket is great for keeping my macbook 13″ secure, fits perfectly. The larger pocket has great space for a jacket and a divider for some folders. Feels great on my shoulders, no complaints.

   Although I rarely carry a laptop, I chose this pack because of its featured durability, and compartmentalization. I carry lots of stuff, all kinds of stuff! everyday, and this pack has a compartment for everything. In addition the two padded (insulated) mesh pockets on each side allow me to carry a 24 Oz. aluminum water bottle, and a 20 Oz. coffee mug everywhere I go! I am very satisfied with the quality of the pack, the seams, the padding, the zippers, straps, etc… are all very well constructed. I waited till I took it on a flight (with laptop) before writing this review. I carried a laptop, 35mm camera, DVD player, portable drive, all power cables, clothes, food, toiletries, etc. Had no problems thru security, it fit perfectly under the seat of the plane, and I had total access to all the compartments with no problems, even when fully loaded. Very happy customer. Would recommend to everyone!

   Plenty of pockets, if not over stuffed. Seems to be of rough and tumble matterial. As the title said – maiden voyage was 2 weeks to India, through the Middle East – both ways. But on a day trip to Ohio, the zipper on the PC compartment failed. The coil separated from the material of the zipper….

   *SIGH* and it started out with much promise.

   Vendor for this item followed through on prompt delivery as promised, rating is for the product NOT the vendor. Vendor gets a 5 star in my opinion.

   This product is excellent. The space provided for a computer is very good. Of note is that it holds my 17″ Mac Book Pro very well, however my 17 inch HP laptop is a bit big for it and it is hard to close the zipper.

   My only complain is that the zipper for the main outside pouch that you put pens, glasses, and other vital small things only has one zipper control on it as opposed to the standard two and because of this, it can’t be zipped to the center. Hence, I feel like iterms are less secure. I actually bought this to replace another one and the previous one had the two zippers, so this one migh have been a flaw.

   A big fan of SG, I ordered the Synergy to replace my wonderful SwissGear computer backpack that saw daily use for for 7 or so years including a tour of Japan. But upon receipt of the Syngery, I was shocked at the change in quality.

   I wonder now if SG changed manufacturers? I also now notice that many of the

   positive reviews are actually 5 years old.

   This “new” version has a snappy look and is full of little niches to store ones goodies. BUT.. the differences in quality are shocking

   1) Zippers run rough on thinner flimsier treads

   2) the over all stitching is without the previous ridged stiff backing in areas that

   receive the most wear and tear

   3) the handle is now a cord of wire covered with plastic,

   4) zipper handles are now a mostly tin-like hollowed out unsound metal

   5) the bottom of the back is now a soft material with out the hard rubber(?) ridge

   tracks

   I could see problems coming within months with this new version and so returned

   it hastily. BTW- amazon/[...] handled the return process extremely well.
