This is a beautiful backpack. It is quality to the core. The stitching is finished inside and out. The zippers are heavy duty. The padding is thick and soft on the shoulders and the back. There are compartments everywhere for the laptop, the IPod, water bottles and anything else you can think of. There is one large outer pocket that is open on top , tied down with straps, that is useful if you want to place something within easy access. The smaller outer compartment has pockets for pens and calculators or other knickknacks. There's even a pocket on the strap for a cell phone.
It is a hefty size even when empty, but my 8 year-old son fell in love with it. He carried it full of gear when we were on a trip all the way through several large airports and he didn't complain. I've tried it myself and it is quite comfortable. The straps adjust easily and the padding is well-placed. It's the perfect backpack!

This is a terrific back pack for me. I spent a long time evaluating my options and Wenger was a stand out winner. This specific design is perfect for me with its gigantic capacity and multiple compartments.
I especially love the center top shallow compartment specifically designed to hold things like a cell phone, or change purse.
This bag is the most popular brand of back pack at MIT, and these kids tend to have high engineering standards.

I've had this back pack for a few years. I use it to bring my gear to work or carry my laptop when I travel. It's held up really well and I can't think of getting any other kind of bag to replace it. I might hold out for a sale, but my current bag is on it's last legs and the shock absorber straps are starting to ware out (you really notice the difference when they stop working). I have to admit, I've abused this bag and its still held up over the years. I also hate to get a new one and take old yeller here to the shed to put it out of it's misery. Maybe I can fix it.

I have owned this backpack for 1 year now. I bought it to carry heavy school books and my 15.4" Dell laptop. It is definitely the nicest laptop backpack I have owned.
Pros:
- Strong, durable construction.
- multiple pockets to hold everything imaginable.
- side pocket mesh holds my water bottle.
- Top pocket is small and perfect for a wallet.
Cons:
- I'm a 5'1 woman and this backpack can be incredibly heavy at times. It feels bulky even when completely empty.
(Wenger website says it weighs 4 lbs. 3 oz. empty. http://www.wengerna.com/maxxumm-ga-7303-06)
- The mesh padding on the bottom of the back literally "pills" my t-shirts! What do I mean by that? Well, the padding is made of a mesh fabric that has numerous "breathable" holes. However, as the bottom part of the mesh constantly rubs against the back of your shirt, it starts to wear away the cotton, and it pills into little lint bumps! It took me months to find out it was the backpack that was RUINING my cotton shirts! My shirts where the bottom backpack touches look like an old, lint sock!
If I could, I'd return this but it's too late now.
Do yourself a favor and if you can, walk into a store and actually try these laptop backpacks on yourself to see if they fit you. Some are much too large for certain body frames.
And DON'T buy this one if you don't want your shirts looking haggard!

The bag has plenty of storage and it's very strong and durable. That said, it may not be the best choice for the new breed of 16" laptops.
I got a new HP Pavilion dv6 16" widescreen laptop for school, and I was hoping that the bag would be the right size. It's pretty close, but the zippers are right against the frame of the computer when zipped. It should be great for 15.4" screen laptops. The rest of the backpack is great. The quality is top notch, and there is plenty of storage and pockets and mesh everywhere.
