There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Ill try to get back with edits if anything changes.
Pockets:
Inside the main bag compartment there is a nice pocket that perfectly fits my 13 in Razer Blade Stealth inside a neoprene sleeve. This compartment is well padded, making me confident that my laptop will be protected from the contents in the main compartment.
Right above that is a smaller zipper pocket that fits my laptop charger perfectly, This pocket is not padded.
The main compartment has two more small open pockets, these are unpadded and have no zipper. This means that any of your items in this pocket can potentially fall out if you toss your bag around. I personally don't keep much in these pockets that can be damaged.
The smaller compartment is nice and wide, usually i keep some small flash drives and my mouse in here. Again this is not padded so i don't put anything that can be damaged in here.
Finally, on the outside of the bag you will get two side pockets with some velcro to keep them shut need be. I usually just throw an energy drink or bottled water on the go.
Comfort:
This bag has some pretty thin bag straps. This is fine for short durations, however for longer durations or with more things in my bag, it can start to get pretty uncomfortable quickly. I would have liked this bag to have slightly wider and softer straps. However for the price, this is not a bad trade-off.
Aesthetic:
This bag is plain. That is in no way an understatement. Its an all black bag with no accents or logo tags. When you open the bag, the inside has some light grey, which actually helps me find things on the bottom with less light.
Price:
If you need a bag that will do its job on the cheap then this is an amazing product. I personally have no issue saving some money and dealing with the shoulder straps. For the $12, this is the best price to performance bag i've personally used.
Final Thoughts/Summary:
The straps are a bit uncomfortable, however i would still get this over a JanSport for one main reason, this bag has some of the most useful pockets for in the main compartment for my needs. I would easily feel comfortable paying another $8 for this same bag and feel like i got a great deal. If you carry a good amount of heavy books then i would look for something with more padded shoulder straps, however if you are just moving from class to class, or in my case office to car to apartment, then i would wholeheartedly recommend this.
Edit 1: I was wrong. There is a tag on the strap, its very discreet however i just cut mine off.
And even with all that space, it's still a compact size. I'm 5'0", so it's very easy for backpacks to look massive on me. This doesn't. It's a perfect commuter size with plenty of space for typical school or work items- though I'd guess more than 1 or 2 textbooks is probably a bad idea if you're trying to get the maximum lifespan out of it.
All in all, I'm thrilled with this purchase, and highly recommend it. It probably won't last for more than a couple of years at best, but for the price, it's absolutely worth it. I hope Amazon keeps selling this product for a long time.

First thing I noticed was how great the actual backpack looks and feels. But one of the main things I want to point out is the quality and build of this backpack. In my opinion Amazon made a great product for a really affordable price. It's very comparable to other brand name backpacks that of course come with a higher price tag.
Another thing that I really like is the space and pockets that this bag provides. The inside of the bag has two front pockets, two pencil holders, and a laptop pouch. Like I said before I bought this backpack on a whim and didn't really get to look at its features so I was very very surprised to see that it included a laptop pouch AND side bottle holders!
The only thing that I am not a fan of but will obviously get used to it is the shape of the bag. It is not like normal backpacks that are kind of an oval-like shape. The shape that you see the backpack in the picture is pretty much the said shape of the backpack. It doesn't "sag" like other bags do and looks a bit awkward while you are wearing it since the bag never really flattens, but don't let this discourage you from making this purchase.
If you are looking for a backpack that is cheap, durable, has a laptop pouch, and is of good quality? Then I recommend you stop right here and purchase this backpack from Amazon.

Qualität und Komfort: Zuerst einmal ist die Qualität des Materials hervorragend. Der Stoff fühlt sich robust und langlebig an, was mir das Vertrauen gibt, dass er auch bei täglicher Benutzung lange halten wird. Die Polsterung im Rückenbereich und an den Trägern sorgt für einen angenehmen Tragekomfort, auch wenn der Rucksack voll beladen ist.
Design und Funktionalität: Das Design ist sowohl schlicht als auch stilvoll, wodurch er sich für verschiedenste Anlässe eignet – sei es für die Schule, die Arbeit oder für kurze Reisen. Die Fächer sind gut durchdacht angeordnet, sodass ich all meine Sachen, einschließlich meines Laptops, problemlos verstauen kann. Besonders praktisch finde ich die kleinen Taschen für Zubehör, in denen ich mühelos Kleinigkeiten wie Schlüssel und mein Handy verstauen kann.
Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: Angesichts der hohen Qualität ist der Preis mehr als gerechtfertigt. Ich habe in der Vergangenheit deutlich mehr für Rucksäcke ausgegeben, die nicht annähernd so gut waren. Dieser Rucksack bietet ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Fazit: Alles in allem ist der Amazon Basics Rucksack eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für jeden, der einen zuverlässigen, komfortablen und stilvollen Rucksack sucht. Er bietet alles, was man von einem Rucksack erwartet, und das zu einem unschlagbaren Preis. Absolut empfehlenswert!
