Wenger Swissgear Synergy Backpack

Great backpack, saw it in Staples today for £49.99 and almost bought one! Glad I waited until I came home and ordered here for £34.99 instead!
The quality is second to none, it is lightweight, has more pockets than most will ever need and allows you to thread your headphones through the bag. Couped with incredible levels of padding, my shoulder bag is heading for the bin as I type.

The bag is big enough for your notebook computer, paperwork, camera, telephone, music player, various chargers & adapters, wash bag, a few changes of clothes and two 750ml bottles of water in the mesh side pockets. There is room for more. There are many compartments. Yet the bag seems quite small on the outside.

There is a feed-through for your headphone cable. The quick-access pocket on top is very handy for all the boarding passes, receipts and other scraps you acquire on business trips. Fits easily in an overhead locker.

Heavily padded. Very comfortable, even with a lot of weight in it. Looks nice, looks well made.

Going for £50 on the high street.

I work overseas a lot so I needed a decent carry on bag that could carry my laptop and other travel essentials.
The re-enforced handle at the top lasted one flight. It's a nice bag and quite well laid out, but it's not as well made as I would like. Frankly I was dissapointed with it.
For the price I expected more.

great bag, but this is the one at £39.99 in Staples. The one at £49.99 has a slot for wires, and has slightly better layout of pockets, means more space for little things. All in all, a good bag!
