Samsonite Novex Perfect Fit Laptop Backpack Black

This is one of those products that is so great that you seriously worry about the manufacturer discontinuing it.After purchasing and immediately returning the Samsonite Xenon 2 several years ago due to excessive bulk and what I felt was an unattractive design, I stumbled upon this model and immediately purchased it. I could not be happier with my decision.The Novex Perfect Fit backpack is intuitively organized, has tons of great zippered and divided compartments, conveniently stands on its own and has enough interior space for all of my needs while looking very sharp, slim, and professional for any business environment.I already had one friend compliment the appearance of my bag and mistake it for a Tumi or Briggs & Riley; both of which are about 6X the cost of this item and which effectively have the same utility.One especially unique and overlooked feature on the Novex is that the quick access top-front pocket is very similar to the handy top-front pockets what you find on Samsonite carry-on spinner luggage, which in turn is difficult to find on most other backpacks. The surprisingly roomy front compartments and main storage shell open conveniently with a "45 degree" opening that allows you access items while the bag is standing on a surface. I was especially pleased with how much you could carry in this backpack without missing a beat or adding tacky bulk.The only minor nit I would have about the Novex is that the straps -- while comfortable and well-padded -- may be a little tight for individuals with especially broad shoulders or thick arms, even when loosened all the way.A must-buy for any traveling professional at a killer price.

Sometimes if you are willing to pay a little more, you get a lot more, and this is one of those times. I bought this new backpack because my new laptop is bigger than the old one and did not fit in the old backpack, also a Samsonite, and still perfectly good after 3 years of daily use. The new one is well made, sturdy construction yet lightweight, lots of pockets inside and outside. This one also has an inner secure pocket for a tablet in addition to a larger compartment for a laptop.

This bag has proven durable, like and comfortable to carry. I have no issues with the excellent zippers. It has lots of thoughtful pockets and a well insulated place for laptop. I would highly recommend this as an alternative to more expensive brands. Oh, comfortable carry handle on top, and bag stands up on its own

Smart design, really well made. A lot of compartment. TSA friendly. The perfect fit feature allows you to keep tight any laptop between 13.3 and 15.6.The there is enough space to carry 2 laptops and some books. It is not bulky at all. The tablet compartment is awesome.

Used it traveling to Chicago by plane and now to Cleveland by car and works great for my needs. I fill it up with papers and files and a laptop and it carries my admin stuff in a separate pocket. Well made for a business backpack. I quite like it.
