Everki EKP121-1 Atlas Checkpoint Friendly 13-Inch to 17.3-Inch Laptop Backpack Adaptable Compartment (EKP121),Black

I have been using Brentheaven backpack in the past ten years. It is very durable and still functional, and I could keep using it, but its design and functionality is quite outdated. So, I was looking for a replacement backpack. My backpack is basically mobile office and needs to hold all of my equipments. While I have looked into all potential backpacks from big manufacturers and non-branded companies, many of them are dropout based on price/functionality/design/size/durability/review comments on Amazon. After two weeks of the research, I finally decided to buy this Everki Atlas 15.6". I did not choose a larger 17" one because my current laptop is 2018 15"MBP, and wanted to get a lighter backpack. In this backpack, I carry 15" MBP, 12.9" iPad Pro, SONY WH-1000XM3 headphone, power adaptors, different cables and adaptors, an umbrella, large pen case, business card case, earphone, etc.... The good thing is that even it is fully packed. It does not feel heavy on my shoulder. Zippers are high quality and very easy to open/close, the shoulder strap is well padded and comfortable, and the materials used are of high quality. The price is a bit higher than others, but you are paying for the quality. I highly recommend this backpack!!

I absolutely love this bag.I came across Everki when I was looking for a bag for my Alienware 18 laptop and only the Titan was big enough for it to go in.Since I sold the AW18 and bought a smaller 15.6" laptop, I needed a new bag. I did a lot of research across multiple brands including Samsonite, Swissgear etc and came back every time to Everki.I love the functionality built into the bag. Genius little touches like a water bottle retainer in the side pocket, key clip in the front section (I'm forever wondering where I've left my car keys when on the way back from the plane) and the orange interior to make things stand out (and look pretty cool, I'm a KTM owner ;)).There's a ton of space in the bag. I recently took an overnight business trip and packed in both the 15.6in laptop with its power brick, headphones and external drive, a 13in work laptop, headset and powerbrick, phone charger and cables, laptop cooler stand, two mice, assorted cables, kindle, a wash bag and a change of tshirt/uwear.This bag also has an awesome retainer strap that will fit over the handle of your wheelie case for longer trips with more luggage (this is the reason I bought this over the Everki Flight ironically enough).All in all, solidly constructed and great quality.

This bag is totally worth the price if carrying an expensive laptop! I bought this bag to carry my ASUS Zephyrus S GX701 with me when I travel working on board ships. If fits the laptop just fine but any bigger 17" laptops may struggle to fit. The bag is of amazing quality and the materials and zips feel top quality.The other main reason I bought this bag was for the TSA approved airport security feature allowing the bag to be zipped down seperating the laptop from the main compartment alleviating the need to take the laptop out of the bag when going through security. Unfortunately I found out that airports in the UK and Norway do not recognise this and still request you to take the laptop out of the bag. Which is annoying! Howver this does not take anything away from the bag itself. I couldnt recommend this bag enough! Well worth the price tag.

Ok. So we'll start with explaining why I docked this a star. I gave 4 stars for only 1 reason but I felt, based on it's selling points, is quite major.The bag is is not check point friendly...The whole selling point of the design is that you don't need to remove your laptop to place it through an airport scanner. This isn't allowed. I must have done 10 trips, going through the USA, the UK, China and Russia and every time without fail... "Please remove your laptop and place it in a separate tray." No matter how many times I demonstrate or explain the design of the bag, they won't allow it. Laptop separate. In it's own tray, every time. So that's why I docked it a star because you aren't actually allowed to use this feature...The bag though is utterly fantastic. It is a 5* bag otherwise, maybe even 6... It is incredibly well made, durable and sterdy. I've had 15kg of weight in there on occassions and I can pick it up with 1 strap and throw it over my shoulder and I don't feel like it's going to rip at the seams anywhere. The zips are solid metal and feel like they'll last forerver. And the interior uses a gorgeous type of felt. In short, I've had this bag 6 months now, travelled with it quite a lot and it still feels and looks brand new.There are tonnes of compartments, There's 4 main ones including the laptop compartment, and a 5th open compartment on the back. A top pocket for valueables (I love this) and 2 side pockets. In each of these compartments are mini compartments for various things as well, like documents or even pens. It also has a strap that allows you to attach it to the pulley of a small suitcase if you don't want to carry it.That being said, with so many compartments at your disposal, you can't actually get a great deal into the bag sometimes. If you put something large into one of the compartments, then you're not going to be able to use any of the other compartments because the material isn't going to stretch. This wastes quite a lot of the space. So there have been times where I've wanted to put something quite large in there, which would easily fit, but it's not been possible due to the interior design of the bags compartments. But this is fine. It may be something that you might want to bare in mind however.It's not the most practical of bags for this reason, but if you're organised and will be filling it with tonnes of small to medium sized stuff, then it is certainly worth the cost later down the line. I have heard plenty of stories of a lifetime warrenty too.It is a fantastic bag. Worth the cost certainly. It is a very attractive bag. (A lot nicer than the main photo makes it out to be) Whenever I go anywhere or out on a day trip, i genuinely feel as if I have the best bag around. (Sort of like owning a mercedes I guess?) Top quality ruksack. One of my best Amazon purchases. I have just given it 4 stars for the lack of actually being able to use it as the checkpoint friendly bag it claims.

Literally the first time I’ve ever left an amazon review. Felt compelled as this bag is awesome! really roomy, and holds the laptop perfectly, in fact I have 2 x 15 inch laptops I travel with and it holds those securely as well as the iPad in that paticulaf pouch. The middle section is big enough for my umbrella, the rain cover, wet wipes and my wash bag, there is then easily enough room left in there for a couple of pairs of jeans, t-shirts, underpants etc. Then the other 2 pockets hold all the note pads, chargers, cables, battery banks, power supplies etc. Still lots of room and nooks and crannies left.
