I bought this for packing my iPad, Headphones, flight tickets and other documents, pens, notepad, sweets, charging cables and a few other bits for my trip to Thailand. A very good rugged and strong little bag. Will be using again for my future trips.
Cheap, naff appearance. It is however roomy but not necessarily in the right places. The compartment for the laptop has a depth of 65mm – enough for three or four laptops. With regard to the other compartments it will depend on what you wish to carry. There’s room enough for cables and lunch. It could be argued the appearance would be better if at wasn’t so bulky.
I used it as a carry on bag on a trip to USA. It held my laptop and tablet along with travel documents, medical tablets, sweets etc. The side pockets were great for easy access. I put the LT charger and lead in a suitcase to maximise the space. Very pleased with the bag.
I was looking for a computer bag to keep small laptop, document file and travel document for air travel. Whilst smallish, it is the right size for my purposes but I will also be ordering a 17.6 inch bag later. It arrived within a day in good condition.
It has several pockets with good zips that open and close smoothly. It is reasonably sturdy and good quality. I would buy it again.
Please note I don’t use this for a laptop – I’m a mental health nurse and I use this for carrying depot injections. I got this after my last depot bag started falling apart and so far it’s worked well.
Good laptop bag with decent padding and various pockets, holds my laptop easily along with charger, headphones and mouse.
After a bit of use the shoulder pad stitching has started to come apart.
So far it’s done the job it’s intended to do.
2 large pockets for your laptop and notebooks or paperwork.
1 smaller pocket which I’m using for the charger and cable etc.
Carrying handles to use like a standard bag but also comes with a shoulder strap too. The padded area on the shoulder strap works well and I don’t feel any pressure whilst carrying the bag.
So far everything’s been working as it should. No issues with the zips or pockets failing.
Aesthetically it looks smart so if you want to ‘keep up appearances’ you won’t be disappointed.
Not really had it out in the rain yet (not sure personally I would as I’m car or office based mainly) but seems weatherproof.
The padding inside the pockets is minimal but still offers protection from daily bangs and bumps. Unless your swinging your bag round into walls etc then it’s more than sufficient.
My only real negative and it’s just my personal preference I would have liked the bag to be a tough wider to fit more notebooks in etc as it feels a little cramped when I’m fully laden.
Again it depends what your using for so if you have lots of thick papers and books then maybe find a wider pocketed option.
Overall for this price you can’t go wrong. Great starter bag
It’s the first Amazon Basics product I have tried, bought on Amazon Prime Day at half price, but even at full price is an absolute bargain
I bought the 15.6in bag hoping it was big enough as my old one was 17in, but it is a perfect fit for a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop, which measures 16in corner-to-corner, and the laptop fits comfortably without sliding around.
The bag seems very well made, I have used it for work for a few months now and it still looks like new:
> zips seem strong
> front pocket zip corners are reinforced with orange stitching, that presumably strengthens this but also looks nice and contrasts with the black fabric elsewhere
> the lining throughout is a sort of mid-grey ripstop nylon, which is a bit scratchy but looks strong and durable.
> the main pocket is roomy but the other two are also big enough for cables (full size charging block), mice etc.
. having had many bags over time, weak areas always seem to be zips and handles rather than the bag itself: the Amazon Basics bag has strong looking zips (too early to assess real durability of course) and the handles, whilst simple in design (fabric rolled over a reinforcing piece) look well-made.
To be honest, at the price it’s a steal and you can’t really go wrong: I also bought an Italian leather laptop bag from an online auction but actually prefer and use the Amazon bag as it’s so functional.
Highly recommended to all lovers of quality bargains !
I also need quite a lot of storage room in a bag and this one provides just enough. We use a chunky mouse so that takes up quite a bit of room and at first I was worried that with the mobile phone charger, chromebook charger, charger for the digital camera, mobile dongle, bluetooth headphones and the mouse it wouldn’t all fit. A little judicious angling of the plugs and everything has gone in securely and without leaving the bag bulging uncomfortably or the stitching straining. To be honest I thought it would as it feels very compact. To be honest I could probably easily get my Kindle Paperwhite and my husbands Galaxy Tablet in there as well without any of it feeling in danger of being damaged or of straining the bag.
The padding on the bag is nicely squishy and there feels to be plenty of it – certainly as much, if not more, than the 20 Logic 15.6 version that I own for my Lenovo Laptop. There is also a padded section on the shoulder strap which is a nice touch as the webbing can dig in if you are carrying it over your shoulder and not wearing a thick top of jacket – particularly annoying in summer when it bites through your T-Shirt.
The fabric itself feels like a nylon weave which isn’t particularly tactile but it does give you hope that it will be more or less showerproof. The only drawback is that apart from the small front pocket zip all the zips are uncovered so if you did get caught in a shower moisture could easily seep through. I did like the fact that main pocket designed to hold your laptop has a twin zipper array so you could put a small travel padlock on it you wanted for added security. The stitching all feels nicely secure and I did give it a bit of a tug about before starting to load everything in.
As the name suggests it is basic with no frills but it adequately does the job it is intended for. Whilst it may not have an aesthetic flourishes it is designed very well for its purpose.
