What's great about it: Size, durability, design, EVERYTHING.
What's not so great: Size if you don't have a 17" laptop!
I am really impressive with the quality of this product. Bought it in August of 2010 and it still look nice. Off course it does not look like it came from the store. But does not look like an old back pack neither.
I really like this product. The quality is amazing. It is a little more expensive but the keyword here is durability. Mine is with almost two years and looks great. I am pretty sure I will keep it for more 2 years at least.

What's great about it: Stylish, sturdy and spacious
What's not so great: can get filled easily, which makes it heavy
I purchased this backpack to accommodate my 17.3" MSI gaming notebook. it fits snugly under the zipper, and the security elastic/velcro, barely fits with some effort. I not only carry that notebook, but also my 14.1" dell work notebook, ipad, paper notebook, Corsair over-sized, gaming headphones power adapters/cables, etc. you can fit quite a bit in the bag. Doing so, makes it a bit unwieldy, and I think that a smallish person may tip over if its overloaded. That being said, I am not smallish, and as such it works well for me.

What's great about it: Large and light
What's not so great: Wish it came in all black since I use professionally
Purchased a couple of bags that said they fit most 17" screens. Unfortunately, ended up returning both of them because they were too small for my large HP screen. I read the reviews on this one and someone specifically mentioned their 17" HP. It is a little more expensive than the other bags, but well worth it. The bag is perfect for the larger screens and has a lot of compartments for when I travel. I LOVE this bag and carry it back and forth to work even if I don't have my computer in it. I would buy this one even with a smaller laptop because it has so many different compartments and it is lighter than other bags I purchased.

What's great about it: Fits the laptop when other bags were too small or wayyyyyy too big!
What's not so great: Small side pockets. Only negative I could come up with.
After trying to find a bag that would fit my new 17" HP I had trouble finding one that was tall enough, but not so big that the laptop got lost in it. This was perfect. I thought I wanted to step up to a "nicer" bag but they all were unpractical as I travel so much I need pockets to store the little things for security lines and such. Laptop fits well. slides in & out easily. LOVE the shallow nylon lined pocket at the top for things like phone and wallet while going through the security line. Could not ask for more storage in a bag that doesn't break your back. Lots of zip up pockets inside each compartment to separate important items from the bulk stuff. Great pocket for paperwork so it doesn't get wrinkled in transport. And we all know the durability is above reproach. I have had the 15" version for 5 years and it still looks new after 750+ flights. I think this one may be even tougher.

What's great about it: Everything
I recommend one of these to someone that is doing airline traveling! Great for the airports so you don't get a cramped shoulder like from using a single strap laptop bag. Excellent zippers, good material, all sizes of storage compartments... I have a feeling that I will use this for many years.

What's great about it: Lots of storage compartments, comfortable on the shoulders even with heavy loads, excellent build quality.
What's not so great: If I must find something...the water bottle holders could be a little larger.
I use this bag for work...it spends 99% of its days with about 30-40 lbs of gear inside it (laptop, tools, parts, etc). It sees some pretty rough conditions, everything from construction sites to mechanical rooms. I am very hard on equipment and therefore look to buy products that will endure. This pack is going into its 3rd year on the job. Despite being dropped off of ladders, kicked, dragged and otherwise just generally abused...not one thing on it has broken. The zippers and handles are all intact and operate like day 1. The fabric is roughed up but still looks good with zero tears anywhere. The straps have a few stiches coming loose but that is simply cosmetic and i'm just trying to come up with a flaw. Bottom line: $100 is big bucks for a backpack, but I guarantee it will outlast your next two laptops...and then some.

I just bought a new 17.3" HP laptop and needed a case that was handy and easy to take on a airplane. It has just enough room for the computer in the sleeve area. It fits well under the seat of the plane and went through the security checkpoint with no problems.

What's great about it: Big. Holds largest laptops.
I bought this bag because it was one of the few that I saw that would hold Dell Precision M6600 17.3" laptop (that .3" sure makes a difference with these bags). It does just fit, but not in the padded pocket it's supposed to.
Bag seems well made, should last long time. Plenty of pouches and compartments. Zippers are heavy duty.
One downside, when I brought this home and looked up on Amazon, they listed it as a discontinued model, replaced by a newer model from Targus. Oh well, isnt that usually the case? (no pun intended)

What's great about it: Comfortable, easy access to pockets, great for organizing, office in a backpack
What's not so great: nothing
I have used many bags for years, but this has to be the most useful and most durable. It is very comfortable and does not strain my back. The best part has to be the many pockets it has. Pockets have pockets in them and it is great for organizing; its like a kangaroo with many joeys. It has accommodations for MP3 players and tablets.
It might not fit some gaming laptops though but if I were Swiss gear, I would build a bigger backpack.

Perfect Backpack for Laptop or general use

What's great about it: Durablity that will last a lifetime, easily beating the competition
What's not so great: NOTHING
This backpack has everything the others do not. Besides the top quality zippers that will almost last a lifetime, its design fists my wish list of options perfectly.
With the top "Quick Pocket" for small everyday items to the office on the go flap with its pen holders etc. Don't forget about the padding on the straps or on the back of this backpack. This rear padding is great for back protection for us middle age people!
With its reinforced metal handle, (designed for lifetime use), this backpack has it all, its even designed to hold a laptop too....I probably didn't mention that.....oh well....this is the IT backpack for all your I-T needs!

I think that it is a good backpack for a 17 inch laptop but
I think it's a little bit expensive at 100 dollars. I still might
get another one but I think I might shop around a bit for the
same one.

What's great about it: Comfortable and organized
LOVE, Love this backpack. After paying the airline $100.00, because my rolling computer bag had to be 'checked' I decided a Swiss backpack was the answer. Boy was I correct! The shock absorbing straps are very comfortable and the entire bag is well made.
My only issue, is the snugness of the inner computer sleeve, when using my 17" Gateway, which has an extended battery pack. My Toshiba fits great in the sleeve. Organized well, good access to needed accessories. Great design and VERY comfortable, on one shoulder, grabbing by the handle, or as a regular backpack. Highly recommend!

What's great about it: It works mostly OK and has lots and lots of storage spots.
What's not so great: Zipper came undone.
It has worked well for me with one exception: one of the zippers popped open while in the zipper closed position. I unzipped it all of the way and then zipped it closed and it seems to be OK for now.

What's great about it: Lots of storage space and pockets!
What's not so great: Durability is subpar for the price.
I purchase this bag about a year ago after reading great reviews on it. I am a teacher and use it to transport my laptop to and from school. A year later, the zipper is coming unstitched in the main compartment. The rubber that forms the handgrip is broken and cracking. I emailed Wenger with the pictures of the problems. They said they would be unable to help me without a copy of the sales receipt. I did not foresee having problems so I didn't keep the receipt. I paid for it with gift cards, so I don't have a record via CC statement either. I understand the terms of the warranty, but I feel I paid a premium price for this bag, and have not received premium service nor durability. If you risk buying one of these, make sure to keep your receipt. I loved the bag, I wish their customer service department could have helped me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
