Travelpro Bold Computer Backpack

This compact backpack is small enough to use as a personal item on an airplane, but surprisingly roomy, with space for a laptop, a change of clothes, and everything else I need for an overnight trip or a long flight. It seems sturdy, and fits over the handle of my TravelPro Carry-on Bag.

I have had multiple backpacks, but sometimes feel like i am just part of the crowd when i look around and see all the others with the same brand. This brand is different enough in looks that you can distinguish it from others, but it also has many of the same quality features and functionality. I also love that it matches my luggage that is the same brand.

I purchased this item back in 2016 for School and Travel. It has carried many large text books in it just fine during the school years, with it's form the books would sometimes shift around inside. It seems to work the best when it is stuffed full. It has allowed me to stuff it full of items during airplane travel as well. The laptop sleeve close to the back of the user holds my 15.6" Chromebook I have had during my time of ownership just fine. The second pocket that has a soft inner lining may not fit a 15" laptop, but could suit well for an ipad. The backpack has a form to it, so it won't collapse into a smaller form factor. Despite this, I have been able to stuff it under multiple airline's seats just fine and haven't been questioned about the size of my personal item. Like another reviewer I too have a small bit of string hanging from the top next to the top handle screw. It hasn't increased in length since I have had it. Rather it has gotten shorter from me cutting it shorter. I haven't had any zipper problems with this bag. There are times when the inner lining of the main compartment gets caught into the zipper when I have the bag stuffed so full. There is a water bottle pocket on the side that I have been able to stuff a 1L nalgene bottle into during travel. Upon unzipping their is elastic band that stretches to hold it in. I have gone through the airports with my bottle stuffed in that spot many times. The side pouches are quite roomy but do get in the way at times below the airline seats, but has held up and not broken. When traveling with my laptop I typically stuff the computer cables into one of the side pouches. Inside the accessories area there is a small carabiner type strap that I typically can clip my keys to. This pouch feels constrictive when full of pens and pencils, but if you can use the space below that there is plenty of room to include more items. There are a few locations throughout the bag that have some frayed stitching at this point, but nothing that has affected the use of any of the items after all these years of neglect from my travels. I love using the luggage strap to drop the bag off onto my luggage handle when in the airport. As much items as I fill the bag up with can make it fairly heavy and walking miles in the airports can get uncomfortable with this bag. Especially when a laptop is in. Overall I would give it 5 stars because of all the times I have traveled and used this bag, nothing has made me doubt my purchase.

The backpack is made with high quality materials and should last for a very long time. Smart design for laptops, books, tablets and work/school related materials. Nice internal pockets for business cards, pens and other small office supplies. The look of the backpack is beautiful. Very happy with my purchase.

Currently on my first trip using this backpack. The only negative is that the strap system is not as comfortable as my old pack. May be just a matter of getting used to it, but it sits differently and seems a little more difficult to get on, as well as not as comfortable to carry. The handles are actually great for picking it up and moving it short distances, though. On the plus side, it fits very nicely under an airplane seat and has great room and packability. I am on a trip that required me to bring items that needed to be checked, and I don't know what to do with all of the extra room this pack has. It will be much easier to use as a carry-on for long weekends when I don't want to check a bag than my old pack. Since I am not wearing it for any extended periods, the plusses outweigh the mild decrease in comfort. If I was lugging it around all day on my back, I would consider going back to my old pack.

Very well built backpack and very lightweight for its capacity. However, it was just too large for me. I’m a petite female. The laptop storage is not really a separate compartment but rather a sleeve disguised with its own zipper with a Velcro flap. That doesn’t work for me. I also prefer a top stash pocket for traveling, this bag did not have that. The internal storage seemed less impressive than the outer. The outer materials definitely ticked some boxes, but the overall design did not work for me. I sent this back.

I already owned a set of Bold luggage by Travelpro and decided to buy the matching backpack because of all the great features it has. I particularly like that it can securely hold a water bottle in an outside pocket. I used it as my personal item aboard a recent trip to Morocco. The straps are comfortable and it holds quite a bit. It’s Travelpro, so I know it’ll hold up and if there’s an issue, it has the Travelpro warranty.

Got this as a gift for my grandson. I know he wii love it as I do. Its lightweight but appears to be very well made and Very sturdy with plenty of storage space including a place for a water bottle.
