EverkiAtlas Wheeled Laptop Backpack, 13 to 17.3-Inch Adjustable Compartment, Backpack on Wheels for Adults, Rolling Backpack Carry-on Luggage,Travel Back Pack, Business Professional, (EKP122) Black

I’ve searched long and hard for a durable and well made backpack with wheels. This fit the bill perfectly since it combines both a wheeled option or carried backpack. The storage compartments were abundant and I had enough compartments to organize my items. Zippers and materials throughout are high quality and durable. I’ve had some cheap light backpacks that had all the pockets I wanted but did not last due to cheap materials. The design aspects of this backpack could be improved however, from a fashion point of view. It’s not very attractive as it is practical. The wheels do not need to be bright orange. This fit my 16 inch Alienware M16 as well as still had room for another 16 inch Inspiron. It gets heavy with everything inside and therefore the wheels are useful.

Everki products are always extremely well designed and manufactured and this backpack is no exception. The wheels and handle make it easy to speed through airports and hotel lobbies while the concealed padded backpack shoulder straps are quickly accessible when confronted by uneven terrain or steps. The backpack holds a great deal; I packed a laptop and a tablet and the rest of my personal carryon items with room to spare on a 3 week overseas trip. I think this is the perfect carryon solution.

I have ordered and returned several rolling backpacks prior to this one. The first one I acquired had four wheels which I thought would make it easy to move along, but if you put anything at all in this bag it would tip easily and be impossible to roll on the four wheels. if you filled it with any weight whatsoever. In addition, rather than zip pockets on the left and right side for a water bottle on one side and umbrella on the other, there was a loose external web like compartment that did not have a zip. Every time I lifted this bag up to put it in the carry-on compartment on the plane, my metal water bottle would come flying outMy second was promising put had a fatal flaw-the carry handle would not come upafter returning the two noted above I decided to try this one which works brilliantly. Does not tip over even when I stuff it as I normally do. Wheels are great -rolls smoothly and there's plenty of space inside for everything I need. A very nice well padded internal jacket for my computer. Lots of easy access pockets on the outside, including a extra large zipped compartment on the left and right side for my large water bottle and umbrella. Used this on a recent trip to Florida and loved it

I bought this because I had used my husband's (earlier version) and found it really practical. It's expensive - there's no way around that - but seems sturdy (I'll update if that doesn't prove to be true). It is well equipped with pockets and sleeves for computers etc., the wheels are very rugged, and the backpack strap design is good. However, I do have one major disappointment. The main zip on my husband's version extends further around the corners at the base, allowing the top of the case to fold back completely, opening up the whole interior for packing/unpacking. On the new design, the zip stops well short of the end of the case, which makes the top flap much more difficult to open fully, which is quite irritating. Is it a deal-breaker? No, but I can see it causing frustration every time I use it, so I docked a star off my rating.

The Everki Atlas comes pretty close, but comes up a little short against specific requirements similar to those of a gamer.My desired features: professional appearance office bag not luggage appearance, maneuverable which to me means 4 wheels if the body is wide briefcase style or 2 wheels if vertical style, high quality fabric such as matte ballistic, sit upright without falling over when loaded, durable wheels & handle & zippers, room for: 3 laptops with the largest at 16.5"; 2 phones; assorted peripherals; sweater and light gloves (offices are kept far too cold); small lunch; wallet/purse; glasses in a hard case; keys; personal care such as brush, lip balm, eyedrops, pain reliever; compact umbrella in a separate pocket when wet; accessible multiple key cards for transit and doors; and stainless coffee bottle kept upright and accessible.I have a high-quality 2011/2012 Jansport laptop backpack (T7 I think) with 2 large center compartments and a key/pens compartment It looks nice and admirably packs and transports it all, but with 3 computers the weight can be too much. Using a separate folding trolley is simply unstable. I looked at Jansport's current offerings but the new products look sad next to the quality business products from era 2011/2012.I have an even older high-quality Tumi 2-wheeled briefcase which is a tight fit. I adapted the rear compartment for 3 laptops and the center for lunch/peripherals, and the front right pocket is actually perfect for the coffee bottle & compact umbrella, however, the wide body briefcase-style can be awkward in tight spaces so it would be better with 4 wheels ... and it needs a little repair at 20 years old.So I started looking for a wheeled backpack. The good about Everki Atlas: it looks more professional than Jansport's current products. The fabric appears to be quality. It converts to backpack style very easily and the back is comfortable and there's a flap to protect clothing from the wheels. The laptops are loaded in the rear compartment which keeps the bag stable and accommodates large laptops. The bad: It needs another inch in the rear compartment or 2 large compartments like the old Jansport T7. The zippers don't glide smoothly and they're not heavy-duty like Tumi or the T7; they won't last. The handle doesn't turn 90degrees for comfort like a Victorinox so it keeps the wrist at an awkward angle. The backpack straps are over 3" wide to compensate for the thin padding - the widest I've ever seen on a backpack - and the strap edging is extremely rough and scrapes putting it on. The T7 straps were comfortable even at the same weight - very well padded and a smidge over 2" wide.Tumi's new 4-wheeled briefcase (at $1K!) seems to has less room in the center compartment than my old stalwart and it doesn't look as reconfigurable to store the laptops in the back. The front pockets are not nearly as useful as the old ones. I wouldn't even exchange it for my old for free.There are professional looking high-quality rolling backpacks from Victorinox and Swiss and Tumi, but none seem to have the space of the Jansport T7 or even the Everki Atlas. The Samsonite Tectonic Nutech 21.5" is close except that the laptop section is in the center, which reduces the max size of laptop while simultaneously potentially destabilizing the bag.The High Sierra XBT Wheeled Daypack might work, if it looks better in person than on the sites. Wenger's Synergy is a good option. I like the Everki's pockets better, but Wenger has a bigger main compartment and the bag is stable and stays upright while accessing the pockets even though the laptops are in the center. I wish the Wenger held 3 laptops better than it does but it's a good compromise.

I love it! I wish it was a bit bigger but it still nicely organizes my computer and personal items for when I travel.
