> 3 dayPros • Decent backpack for the price paid • Light padding on sides and bottom of laptop pocket (will only save the smallest of bumps though) • Dedicated headphone pocket • Smaller pockets to hold laptop wires and a mouse • Large main pocket opening, for easy access • hard foam plate on front may save bigger impacts, otherwise it looks neat. Cons • Not the highest quality material (you get what you paid for) • Covers for zippers will likely fall off after some use • No extra space for anything but laptop and accompanying accessories. • Thin backpack straps will quickly start to hurt. Verdict If you’re looking for a decent backpack to protect your laptop during travel and don’t want to shell out $100+ for a high end gaming bag, then I would recommend this backpack. While not the greatest quality material, it hasn’t failed me in use yet, so it gets the job done and keeps all my laptop equipment in only organized place. I used this bag for my MSI Leopard Pro GP62. A standard 15.6” sized gaming laptop.

> 3 dayThis sleeve is made well and looks really nice. Shame that it doesnt fit my Dell Inspiron 7577 gaming notebook, as the laptop is slightly larger than the sleeve, so I returned it. If they made this sleeve slightly bigger, it would have been perfect.

> 3 dayI ordered the 13. It fits my Dell xps 13 perfectly. In my photo, I have a mouse stuffed inside the front pocket. It will also fit my power cord comfortably when I need to pack it. I have a close up photo of the fabric texture if you need to see it up close. Seller photo is accurate as far as color goes. My photos dont have the best color depiction as it looks slight brown or light grey in the other. Product information doesnt state fabric material unfortunately. I purchased a few patches to iron on and now Im not sure if I should iron them on. It is a very nice professional sleeve and the handles are comfy. The long strap doesnt dig into my shoulders as it has a soft pad. The price I paid was reasonable.

> 3 dayI bought this to hold a Dell Latitude 7200 2-in-1 and it fits perfectly! The interior bag measurements as indicated on the Dell website were accurate, as there a little room on the sides and just enough at the top for the tablet and keyboard. I only wish that the front pocket had a little more room to it to hold accessories (like a mouse and charger) more comfortably. They do fit, but the bag appears rather bulky with them.

> 3 dayI researched many business-style laptop backpacks. As a commuting professional working in a big metropolis, I was very specific in the features I wanted in a slim, lightweight, versatile backpack. I found most of what I wanted in the Dell 52CDX 15. Heres what the Dell delivers on: Size - reasonably slim and compact yet large enough for daily business requirements, plus a few clothing items when traveling. Comfort - very comfortable. Lightweight, good positioning on the back, good padding on the straps and back. Durability - very good. Handle is ok, could be a bit stronger, but seems durable. Water resistance is good. Ive had it out in a rainstorm and the contents stayed dry. The bottom of the backpack is a heavier water resistant material which makes it fine to set down on the dirty floors of crowded trains and subway cars. Overall materials are good. Nice reflective strips on the straps to help nighttime visibility. Compartments - plenty for commuting and business needs. Inner zipper pocket provides security. The interior colors are contrasting to the exterior colors: light gray for contents, blue for the laptop compartment. Very nice - makes the contents easy to see. Key chain strap is long enough to pull out and use the keys on a door. Flexible side pocket for a small water bottle. Also, the zippers alternate by color, black and blue, from the front to back. Nice feature to help remember what compartment you are storing things in. Laptop support - at first I thought Dell missed it here by not providing much padding on the bottom, but there is a laptop sleeve inside that supports (actually suspends) a 15 laptop and provides excellent shock-absorbing protection. Trolley sleeve - not some simple strap, but a large band that securely holds the backpack to a suitcase handle when traveling. Wish it had features missing from the backpack that would have made it perfect to me: a hidden zippered security compartment on the back; a sturdier handle; and a larger side pocket to hold a standard sized compact umbrella. Overall, I recommend this backpack.

> 3 dayWater resistant.. check. Access to laptop and other items with one zipper... check. pouch on the top holds accessories needed in short notice... check. enough space for my couple of books and my workstation (heavy) 15.6 laptop, check. price less than the swissgear i am replacing... yes. note that the swissgear had too many complications including a TSA feature that allowed it to fold flat. When the TSA allowed it it was good... but now everything goes out or stays in thr bag, and i cant have two exta zippers.. sorry preceeding bag. has a shaped foam part that makes it keep shape... check.. the only downside so far is it doesnt look quite as slick as in the pictures... but its still ok. handle for one handed grabbing, check... its even a part of the straps... which look good enough, but it also looks like it may keep it from a catastrophic failure by distributing load. I bought mine used on amazon, there wad a minor scuff. no big deal. for 50 bucks this bag is a yes. forget gaming.. this backpack should be used for business too. would pay more for a just a wee bit slightly bigger one with more sturdy materials... but this met my expectations and i have already retired my other backpack.

> 3 dayI love this Dell bag. I have been a fan of Dell and their bags for many years. The amount of room this bag has amazing. There are so many storage areas, pockets and compartments to choose from. I use this for work and also to travel with when flying. I have nothing negative to say about this bag. The bag is very durable and well made. Ive never had any issues with Dell bags and I have been using them for years.

Greater than one weekWas pleasantly surprised that this actually fit my 15.6 Y740 laptop. Fit is super duper tight, just the way I like it. Score!

> 3 dayBought this for my husband who is in sales and instead of carrying the heavy laptop case for years I found this backpack and he just loves it because it doesnt put so much weight on his shoulders. He can store all his paper, pens, and laptop and still has room for more. Great product!
