No regrets. This is the perfect bag.

I love this bag. So many quality features. Excellent material, stands upright in it's own, has a strap for luggage, plenty of space and lots of pockets for various knickknacks.
There one problem my particular bag had is the zipper would get stuck on a piece of fabric, but it eventually went away on it's own.

Bueno pero duro poco

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

Funciono muy bien para los viajes y uso regular, pero al cabo de 1 año se rompió una de las trabillas de plástico de uno de los tirantes (derecho), quedando inutilizado ahora por solo poder colgarlo del lado izquierdo, ya no es cómodo. Calidad del plástico de la trabilla bien pobre y deficiente diseño, no se puede reemplazar.

Nice looking, light-weight work backpack. It looks professional. It is a little smaller than I expected, but still great for daily to and from the office needs.

The samsonite backpack is just a perfect hit as it got all features I needed. Plenty of spaces, well separated. Very comfortable. High quality made of. Worth the price.

Great carry on bag for planes

This was perfect for my needs when I went on vacation and took multiple plane rides. (It was the perfect carry on size for every plane I got on even in Europe where the space seems to be much less)

I like the more compact bags. Not so much an issue, but a preference is that I wish it had a side pocket for holding water bottles. (The bigger version of this bag I believe has one)

The bag has multiple pockets for holding a laptop or iPad. And you can store some clothes or snacks in the middle pocket and small nick nacks and things in the small front pocket.

Great with one exception

I ordered in the SMALLEST size instead of a purse to use as a personal item allowed on airlines in addition to your carryon. The description of size is correct. It is 15.5" x 10.5" x 5". I can fit my Dell Inspiron 13 (11.6" x 8.5" laptop) in the laptop compartment with room to spare even in a protective case and with the power cord. The middle compartment has a slot for a tablet and/or a folder of documents, and enough space for the quart size container of liquids you have to pull out for TSA and a rolled up rain jacket. There is a net slot in which I can place a USB hub and mouse and other cables. The front compartment has 2 pen slots and 2 other slots - the smaller slot holds my LG earbud case and the larger my cellphone when in transit. There is a zippered compartment on the opposite side in which a US passport in an RFID sleeve fits perfectly. There are also slots for wat appears to be credit cards which I do not use for that purpose. I use them for other incidentals. This bag serves me better than a travel purse and it frees up my carryon for other essentials. It makes the TSA security process go smoothly since I only have to open this bag and not my carryon. The bag is well-padded and comfortable to carry and frankly the shoulder straps are beefier than they need to be adding to the bulkiness. I love the slot in the back that allows me to slip the bag over the extended handle of my carryon. There are 3 things that prevents this item getting a 5-star. 1. There is NO WATER BOTTLE HOLDER. I think this is a big oversight on the part of Samsonite. Who doesn't carry water? Putting a cold water bottle that has condensation on the outside is not good to put inside this pack with electronics. 2. The zipper tabs are not designed to install a security device. In crowded subways, public transit etc, a simple security lock is a good deterrent for opportunist pick pockets. 3. Unlike the larger models of this bag, the laptop compartment does not open fully to lie flat in order to go through a TSA scanner which would avoid having to remove your laptop and tablet for scanning. #2 and #3 are not barn burners, but the lack of water bottle holder is. I have a waist pack that does have a bottle holder but I hate having to wear it in addition to this pack, so I am trying to figure out a way I can attach one to the side of the bag.
