Great hybrid bag/backpack with quality and space!
***UPDATE*** 6 years with this bag and, even with another laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme), It’s still holding strong and I love it! The plastic straps for the shoulder strap–which I was initially worried about–lasted without any issue. I wouldn’t trade it for any other laptop bag. I’ve even bought the Solo Ludlow Tablet bag for my Surface Pro 7. Excellent bag! I will definitely continue to use Solo New York for any laptop/tablet bag I need from now on!Original Post:This is a beautiful and spacious laptop bag that also become a backpack. Solo is known for making quality bags, and this one is no different. I was in the market for another bag, so I decided to choose this bag because it can also become a backpack–this was the selling point that made me get this one.The sides of bag and the inside sleeves are well insulated and cushioned to protect my laptop and tablet (there’s a tablet sleeve that’ll fit a 7-to-8-inch tablet on top of the laptop sleeve). The main compartment easily fits my HP ENVY 15 and has room to add a couple of notebooks/magazines inside. I carry an engineering pad, a folder, and a 1 subject notebook inside of this bag with room to spare. The main front pocket has 3 small and relatively shallow but useful pockets, with another pocket that can hold an external hard drive and two more that can hold pens, pencils, or styli. The space of this front pocket can easily hold my bulky laptop charger and mouse without looking bulging within the pocket. The other two front pockets are great for miscellaneous stuff such as wires, calculators, cell phones, etc. I hold a calculator, assorted wires, a mini stapler with a case of staples, and a compass.If I had one thing to worry about with this bag, it would be the plastic clips that are used for the shoulder strap and backpack straps. This isn’t about any Solo product, but I’ve had issues with plastic clips with other laptop cases before. These seem sturdy, but only time will tell.I’m overall very satisfied with this hybrid bag/backpack, and I look forward to keeping this bag for years to come. As with any of my reviews, I’ll be updating this one as time passes. If you’re looking for a good bag, this one may be the choice for you!

Business Class Briefcase with a Sport Mode. Love it!
I’ve had many briefcases in my career. I really love this briefcase, backpack hybrid. A laptop sleeve is highly recommended as it’s not made with bulky padding. I combined an Amazon Basics laptop sleeve with this and it works great. The briefcase fabric is somewhat stiff so it keeps a nice corporate briefcase shape and quite a nice look even when I’m wearing my business suits and just as sporty looking on casual days. I love that there is the back pack option, I only use one strap over my back when in that mode. I also like the top side handle that is great for grabbing the bag out of the car in addition to the standard briefcase mode handle with magnetic snaps that are wonderfully quick to get separated and put back in place. The bottom of the briefcase is a reinforced durable material for protection from the floor. I also cary a scale ruler, several pencils and pens, calculator, usb drives, back up hard drive, my laptop, a binder and about 6 files of work routinely and the bag does not look over stuffed at all. The outside pouches easily hold my charger cable, my phone, wallet, check book, well, yes, my entire life is in this thing, so I’m glad I can use the backpack mode and never feel like I have to set it down at all. I keep it comfortably slung over my shoulder. Kind of makes me feel young like in college again. My wife remarked at how much she likes the look of my briefcase and how smart the material looks. For the price I feel like buying another one because anything this good usually ends up getting discontinued and can’t be found by the time I’ve worn this one out and want another one. I guess my only suggestion would be a few more pencil pen holder loops but there are several internal pockets that holds all of my mechanical pencils. I really think this is the best briefcase I’ve ever owned.

Very ergonomically designed
Very nice material the ability to use it three different ways. The fact that it is light has very nice zippers plenty of storage space, and also waterproof. The bag looks very nice. The design of the two different shades of color goes together very well. I donât believe it couldâve been designed and made to be any better. This is the best bag that I have ever owned, including the leather ones.

Great Value
I bought this bag thinking I could always return it if I didn’t like it. I am very picky about my bags and it’s sometimes hard to know if it would be right with an online purchase. I will not be returning the bag. I bought the bag for air travel. The laptop bag that came with my work laptop is a backpack and does not have enough pockets. It was the first laptop backpack I’ve had and I liked the option to use it as a backpack. I am a 40+ executive however so I felt a little strange wearing a backpack in a professional setting. It did come in handy however at the end of a work trip, traveling internationally and having to navigate customs, etc. That’s why I liked this bag. It provides the backpack option but also carries like a briefcase. I have zipped both the backpack straps and shoulder strap into the “hidden” compartment and am currently using it as a briefcase. It easily converts. The pockets are well thought out and the design is great. I can carry my laptop and my ipad (different padded compartments). Bring the charging cord and headset– also in a different compartment, and have enough room to bring a portfolio and documents. It also easily fits under the seat of a regional jet. The material was not what I expected. It’s almost like waxed denim. It seems like it will be durable but doesn’t look all that professional and it will not replace my everyday briefcase for the office. I normally take a more utilitarian bag for travel since I don’t like to scuff the good leather of my briefcase by throwing it under the seat where I could kick it and where things could fall out since it has very few zippers compartments. This bag will be the perfect travel bag. The versatility and durability as well as the design are great and you can’t beat the price.

Gostei do produto. Tamanho excelente. Espaço interno para Note, meu caderno tamanho universitário de 200 folhas, um bolso onde coloco meu iPad. No bolso externo menor cabe o carregador do Note com cabos. No maior consigo guardar meu mouse, mouse pad, estojo, power bank, cabos de iPhone/iPad, uma caderneta 1/8, e ainda sobra espaço.Três opções para carregar – maleta de mão, mochila e transversal alça longa.

Updated – September 2023Have had this bag for 4 years and still going strong. No rips or tears, seams are all stitched well and zippers all working. This is a daily used bag – impressed with the quality!*********My husband had been using a larger, bulkier case to bring a laptop and some supplies to work. He didn’t realize how bulky it really was until this one arrived.It fits a smaller laptop (12″?) perfectly with room to spare. It would still fit a larger one, as the ad indicated. There is a divided interior pocket and two zippered pockets on the outside. The zippers all work great and the material is a nice quality with a liner on two sides to protect it when put down. There is a padded shoulder strap and the backpack straps are a nice plus. It will work perfect as a carry-on for the plane as well.Very happy with this purchase and great value compared to local stores.
