Samsonite Kombi Business Backpack, Black/Brown, 16.25 x 10.5 x 5-Inch

I'll cut to the chase, buy this backpack! Ok, why? I have cycled through the usual variety of backpacks, messenger bags and satchels to carry my laptop and assorted gear while traveling and I always found myself looking for something else. This tells me that what I had, what I adapted, simply wasn't right. Initially, I was looking at Tumi as an option but then I saw this pack, when I held them up side by side I began to wonder if those 4 letters (t-u-m-i) were really worth the premium price; in my opinion, compared to this pack, the answer is no. The Kombi has a premium feel to it, the woven exterior not only feels premium but also is fantastic for combating wear and the inevitable scuffs that a travel bag will endure when stuffed under the seat. The shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable and the compartments make total sense. I am able to readily carry two laptops, an iPad and the other assorted gear that I travel with securely and comfortably. I like the orange interior since it makes it easy to see everything inside the pack, no hunting for the errant black USB cable in an all black interior anymore. Further, the bag stands up on its own, even when fully loaded so that makes it easy to retrieve whatever you need and the main compartment opens up in such a way that everything remains upright. This is a backpack for someone who is looking for something that is professional, understated and still stylish. I have plenty of technical backpacks however when I travel, whether an overnight or a weeks long trip, this is the backpack I trust. My only gripe is that I wish I had known about it before. If you're looking for a travel backpack, your search is over, this is your bag!

Great backpack. The color, size and organization is very good. I travel a lot and having a travel friendly backpack is a must. This is the right size with pockets for all the necessary items.

This backpack is outstanding! I have the larger version of this but when sitting in an aisle seat on most airlines it barely fits under the seat, and on some it does not. This slimed down version easily fits and is much more easy to carry. It does have less capacity but you have plenty of room for the essentials. It says it will fit up to a 14” laptop but I think that is conservative, my MacBook air fits with a ton of room and I think a 15” would fit, but would recommend checking for yourself. The quality is top notch as all Samsonite products, don’t think you can go wrong with this.

Very well made backpack with good material and nice clean looking as business laptop bag. Space is enough for laptop, tablet, notebook and all my accessory. I love the self standing even when bag is empty. My previous over priced brand name backpack kept falling even bag is loaded which I hated and decide to get this bag. I also liked bright color inner fabric that makes easy to find small items in pocket.

I was very interested in a Tumi backpack but I just couldn’t justify $600+ for a backpack. This backpack is almost as good as the Tumi I was looking at but at 1/6th the price. Looks good in person and feels pretty durable. The brown leather is a nice accent that makes it look and feel more high end. My complaints about it are minor. My biggest beef is the fact that it doesn’t have strap keepers, but they KNEW it was an important feature because they basically have strap keepers but they’re made of paper (see my 2nd pic). At this price point it’s pretty ridiculous that I have to now buy some elastic strap keepers when most cheaper backpacks have them. Also the zipper handles don’t have a hold large enough for a TSA lock. Since I’m traveling with it, I opted to drill out the holes to make them larger on the front pocked zipper. Luckily they’re real metal so it wasn’t hard to drill. The shoulder straps feel fine but could be a little more padded. Overall I think it’s worth it and am happy with the purchase.

Purchased for high schooler whose teachers make use of Google classroom. Roomy enough for chrome book and separate compartments for tech stuff, pens, pencils, calculator etc.Still able to fit two three subject spiral notebooks and two paperback reading books and a snack container.Water bottle/thermos on side zipper area.Sturdy and holds up well to that high school roughness.Well made. Comfortable to carry, Gives a nice, grown-up appearance too!

Very well built and lots of pockets. The features I like the most are that you can slide it on your luggage handle and it stands firmly on the ground. Best backpack I have own!

Excellent quality Perfect for work and business travel
