I thought this was the back of Darth Vader's head.
Just chiming in to say: I've had a few Samsonite backpacks through the years and they are really not very high quality in my experience. Always off brand zippers, often the shape is fat so it stands up really well but is annoying to walk through a crowded area, and so much padding everywhere. Padding is necessary around laptop compartments but they use so much that it really takes away storage and adds weight. Also I've never had one that I thought looked very good on, maybe cool in the pics but not actually worn, and not very comfortable.

Having said all of that this is definitely a good price if you like it and my complaints above are in general with this brand, not specifically with this product so YMMV.

Also if you want a good deal on a backpack you might try looking at Sierra trading post, not so much the stores but online, they have a pretty good selection of nice backpacks and sometimes the prices are pretty slick.

I fail to see how this is any better than the random brand backpacks of similar or greater quality on Amazon for half the price.

Could you provide some specific recommendations?

I had an opposite experience with Samsonite backpacks. Mine is passing 5 years mark and it has been solid. I took it everywhere and it took some beatings. I even washed in the washer and everything is super solid.

I also have a good experience. I have this exact one. I use it for my work laptop, a few notepads, extra mouse and lots of other little things. It's comfort and has lots of pockets. Have it for about a year or so. No popped seams, zippers are in tact, shoulder and back pads are still feeling new.

Haha that's funny. I'm just here wondering what a paracycle is.

The sole feature that makes this slightly appealing is the trolley sleeve.

But like most bags with this feature, it looks overly "middle aged business traveler" when I'd prefer something more casual (like an outdoor brand day pack, Herschel, etc).

Does anyone know if this backpack has a "false bottom" laptop compartment? That is to say when you drop the bag on a chair, the laptop doesn't smack directly against the chair?

Edit: Also called suspended laptop compartment

I have the same question. One of 410 Amazon reviewers said the bottom is not padded enough for a laptop. Hopefully the SDers who own those will give their thoughts.

Ordered one.

I've had the eBags Professional Slim Junior Laptop Backpack for the longest time and every time I used it for travel I wasn't happy (too heavy, doesn't fit enough, top heavy, slides onto luggage sideways).. I'll see how this is.
