Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a fan of gadget inspired backpacks. With all of the cool devices that are now available to the typical business traveler you really need to reconsider how you are going to stow all of your devices. Backpacks designed more than 10 years ago were designed to store camping gear and not much else. About 5 years ago, we saw the first of the packs that were designed to carry laptops (the highly successful Victorinox is the one that comes to mind first - and you still see them everywhere). Over the last couple of years a new wave of designs has entered the market - they are less interested in storing camping gear but well equipped for allowing easy access to a variety of your electronic gadgets. In my opinion, the Ogio Renegade is the best of the newly designed gadget backpacks. It offers a decent level of protection, it is comfortable to wear, but most importantly it also provides many levels/layers of storage based on the size of the items that you are trying to store. Notes- - The laptop storage area provides a wedge of support that encompasses you computer. It is especially, effective in supporting your laptop if you backpack is dropped straight down (like when you remove it from your back and sit it on the floor). - The design fits nicely under the seat on an airplane. This may not seem like a big deal, but trust me... it is. When you pack does not fit snuggly under the seat it causes you to lose precious leg room (and possibly exposes you to ire of the flight attendants). - It is very comfortable to wear - the area supporting the laptop also provides a firm but gentle support for your back. - The exterior is rip, tea, and snag resistant. - Has a built in sunglass pocket/box that offers a crush-proof compartment for sunglasses or anything that is breakable. - The entire backpack does not have an exoskeleton or any type of rigid frame - but the pack seems to be fairly resistant to collapse, and I have not had any problem with anything being damaged inside. - I do wish that there were more internal storage pockets inside the individual layers- I would like to have small netted pockets to store things like batteries, medicine, and other small items. The Ogio Renegade does have a few of these types of pockets, but I wish it had a few more. Final Verdict- The Ogio Renegade is the best blend of comfort, storage, and build quality that I have found in business travel backpack. it may be significant overkill for a middle-schoolers - but it has worked perfectly for all of my business travel 5 Stars Please Note - I received this product for reviewing purposes
