Everki Glide Laptop Backpack? for 17.3-Inch Compact, Light (EKP129)

I ordered this as a graduation gift to my brother and he loved it. He said the best part was that it felt so light despite him having an ASUS 17.3" which is actually bigger and heavy. That was the bad part, the ASUS is so big that it didn't exactly fit in the part where the laptop goes but it did fit inside the backpack over all. It's just a little tight now :( They should have designed it with this in mind I think. I guess it does fit the majority of 17.3" not all. So if you happen to have an ASUS 17.3" know that.

Excellent Backpack, won't hold 17" Gaming Laptop's though. MSi GT70-OND too big. With such a nice bag I decided to keep it and give as gift for someone with NON 8lb Laptop. Ended up with Microsoft Laptop Case from TigerDirect. Can't put $2000 Laptop in backpack that won't zip after it is in.

Buy Everki Glide Laptop Backpack? for 17.3-Inch Compact, Light (EKP129) Now

Have an HP Elitebook with the 17" screen and the huge brick power supply. This was the second backpack I ordered the first one was another brand 'fits most 17" ' did not include MY laptop. My laptop fits in this one, it will hold some files and the power supply, has a pocket for my tablet, a zipper pocket for pens/pencils, more pockets in the front for pens, pencils, thumb drives, a mouse, etc. The front pocket is really deep and goes down to the bottom of the bag. I'm 5'6 and visit different plant sites for work. The laptop and power supply are heavy, and a shoulder bag made me list to the side like a disabled war ship. This backpack fits well, holds what I need, and looks to be well made with heave stitching, heavy duty zipper, good heavy materials. I will update after a few months about durability, but after trying it for a couple of weeks, I am happy with this purchase.

The pack holds a laptop computer and tablet well. But there are no external pockets (one largish central stretch pouch is inadequate). Delivery was on time.

Want Everki Glide Laptop Backpack? for 17.3-Inch Compact, Light (EKP129) Discount?

I was looking for something that was big enough to hold my 17" laptop but wouldn't be huge like most of the 17" laptop backpacks are. That goal was accomplished. My laptop (Satellite P875-S7102) fit, it was a big snug on the corners but it fit. Unfortunately I found a couple design flaws.

My first issue was the straps. They're nicely padded and feel pretty comfortable but they feel like they're made out of brillo pads. I would imagine if this backpack was on for long and touching any part of your skin it would get uncomfortable pretty fast.

The second issue is on the inside of the bag. The material inside is great, soft and protective. Unfortunately the laptop sleeve/pocket came about 4-5 inches short of the top of my laptop. That wouldn't be a big deal except on the other side of that compartment there is a zippered mesh pocket with a zipper that is positioned just above the end of the padded pocket on the other side. That leaves the zipper hanging there to rub and scrape against the side of your laptop that it's against.

Unfortunately I'll be sending it back.
