Amazon Basics Slim Carry On Laptop Travel Overnight Backpack - Black

I originally looked at the weekender version of this bag as a travel bag, but ended up buying a different bag. I remembered the overnight version though when I was later looking to replace my work laptop bag. This bag is really terribly designed for use as an overnight travel bag, as many others have said the compartments are too small and too many. However, this works nicely for my work laptop bag. It seems to be well constructed and sturdy, and is comfortable to wear. The center compartment has a sleeve that I use for my laptop, and I can fit my thin travel keyboard, mouse, charger, and headset in there with it. The back compartment fits my notebooks, a purselet, and a cardigan. The front pouch is for pens and cables, and right now the tablet pouch is perfect for my collection of cloth masks that I'm required to wear at work, although it really does seem like a worthless pocket otherwise just taking up space. Update November 2021: I've been using this bag daily as a work bag since June of 2020 and it still looks brand new. I've grown to love it more (increase to 5 stars) as it's held up really well and there are so many functional storage pockets and pouches, which is great since we have open office/no assigned seating so everything I need lives in my bag. The material also keeps things inside pretty dry when you're out in the rain, which is also very nice. The only thing I really wish this had is a stretchy mesh water bottle holder on the side opposite of the zip side pouch (which holds my travel umbrella since it's not shaped well for a water bottle). That would make this bag absolutely perfect.

This review is for the weekender version of this bag. As an Amazonbasics product this bag really impressed me. I was looking for a larger bag to hold all my devices and also clothing/shoes for the occasional weekend trip. This bag fulfilled all those requirements and then some without looking too bulky (which was a concern of mine). The material is fantastic and looks very professional in the black color. The design of the outer pocket is very similar to the ebags slim laptop bag (featured in the attached pictures on the right). With the compression straps the size of this bag is not that much larger in terms of depth relative to the ebags slim, but is a little wider and taller. The material I thought looked much better than the ebags one, which also had a large logo on the back which was off putting. The laptop compartment is quite generous as is the middle compartment, which can hold a fair amount of clothing. Again when not in use the compression straps can keep your bag quite thin. In the ebags slim laptop bag I was not able to fit that much more than my current devices, chargers, and headphones. In this bag I was able to fit everything with room to spare. The straps are very comfortable Overall I think this bag is great for taking to work and for travel

I purchased this OVERNIGHT version bag to replace an Incase Ion Backpack (horrendous bag). I needed something for daily commute and also monthly work trips. I had tried an eBags Professional slim and professional Slim junior and neither exactly fit my needs (especially for the price) This bag seems to be pretty great. PROS: 1. Size (See photo) I am 5'4" and relatively slim build so a lot of back packs overwhelm my frame. this is just small enough to be comfortable on my back. 2. Color options- I know its not the most important thing, but I appreciate not only having black and grey as a choice. the denim is a subtle grey-blue that is professional without looking so intense. 3. Dedicated pockets- - I like the small "catch all" pocket on the top- great for holding keys/ work badge/phone -large main compartment holds my big padfolio, 2 small notebooks, Bose QC headphones, and has some room to spare. I do wish this pocket unzipped all the way around so it could be packed more like a suitcase (like the ebags professional series) This would make this a much more versatile bag. - front accessories pocket is handy for staying organized without being too compartmentalized. The obnoxious orange does help with visibility. (I store all my charging cords, mouse, pens, power bank, tide pens, tampons and still have more space) This pocket unzips all the way so packing is really easy. you aren't trying to slip your hand into a cramped space (looking at you Incase Iso) - front pocket is almost the whole length of the bag so there is plenty of room. I usually have it empty, but for trips I stash my book in here. - tablet pocket is super handy for flights, no digging for my fire tablet - laptop pocket is probably my least favorite. It upzips in the same inverted L as the main compartment, meaning my laptop could slip out the side if I don't zip it all the way up. The pocket is also the full size of the bag so with charger and my 13 inch dell I don't even remotely fill the space. This leaves me feeling like my laptop isn't super secure and that I am wasting space. - water bottle pocket is magnificent- why do so few professional bags include a spot for a water bottle? when not traveling I use the pocket to quickly stash my car keys since it can be zipped all the way up 4. Price Point at about half the price of the ebags professional line with almost the same functionality, this bag is pretty hard to complain about 5. luggage strap- Good lord the little things go a long way. I will never have a backpack that won't slip on my suitcase again. the airport bar is 10 times less stressful now. Cons: 1. awkward sizing of the laptop pocket (see above) 2. lack of suitcase or clamshell opening in main compartment 3. the orange really is obnoxious, but fortunately It isn't visible from the exterior 4. I would love if the main pocket was a little deeper (maybe take some of the space from the laptop pocekt) to make this a more versatile travel bag. I know I could have gotten the weekender version, but it was just too large overall for my frame. Overall, I am VERY pleased with this bag and am glad I found it before the busy summer audit season begins.

This is a versatile piece of luggage. It has a sleeve that makes it possible to put it on the fully-extended handle of a larger suitcase, and it can be carried on the back or slung over the shoulder with a shoulder strap that otherwise packs away in a pocket. It has a nice adjustable pocket for a water bottle. I'm a woman about 5'3 or '4, and I find it pretty comfortable on my back even tightly packed. I like the fact that it has multiple sections and that there are small compartments in one of the sections. I can't decide whether I miss the lack of a waist strap. This bag has a sternum strap that is adjustable, but for some reason I haven't found the right adjustment--I want more slack, somehow. The thing I DO miss is more cushioning for my laptop, but I've packed my laptop in it without ill effect. I'm glad I bought this.

Awesome bag for frequent travellers. The quality is great.

Shame it is not available anymore. Best backpack purchase I had in years.

Its a fantastic bag for daily office goers. You can use this aa a normal bagpack or tuck in the shoulder straps inside so that you can carry it like a office bag with the retractable handles. Material of top notch. No complaints. Few may think its a stiff bag but it appears like a durable premium material. You get a dedicated section with numerous compartments to keep your gadgets, harddisk, powerbank, keys, pen, stylus, wallet, cables etc. Laptop section also jas a detachable buttom padding which will protect your laptop when accidentally dropped. I love the bag.

I was flying for the first time in 10 years to meet a client and needed to bring my laptop. This is an excellent carry on! Great pockets, adjustable thickness, holds a ton of stuff (if you want it too!) Happy with this purchase. I can see it lasting a long time for my purposes.

Sonara exagerado, pero llevaba un par de años buscando una backpack que me funcionara para el dia a dia, y para los viajes que suelo tener, y no podria estar mas encantado con esta mochila. La calidad es bastante buena, el unico detalle menor que le veo, es que los broches y demas cosas en las correas, son de plastico y no de metal, lo cual la podria volver menos duradera que una con metal, pero tambien la hace mas silenciosa. La cantidad de cosas que puedes meter es bastante notable, recientemente hice un viaje de 2 dias, y pude meter mi laptop, cargador, mouse, cambio para 2 dias (pantalon, polos, ropa interior), asi como mi kit de higiene, y todo entro a la perfección. Y lo que mas me encanta, es que tiene el soporte para ponerla encima de otra maleta pequeña, lo cual use en otro viaje de una semana, y quedo a la perfección. Producto completamente recomendado.
