CoolBELL 17.3 inches Convertible Laptop Messenger Bag Oxford Cloth Shoulder Bag Backpack Multi-Functional Briefcase For Laptop/Macbook/Tablet Men/Women (Black)

I searched for a long time to find a laptop bag for my large 17 laptop. The larger the laptop, the harder it is to find a functional bag. My laptop is very heavy, so I was hyper focused on finding a comfortable bag to travel with. Initially, I was wanting a messenger style, but then I ran across this bag. CONVERTIBLE!! YES!!! I pretty much use it as a backpack almost exclusively. Its very easy to travel with!! One other review mentioned the backpack straps hurt, and they can get a little uncomfortable, but not super noteworthy.. and I have to take into account the monster sized laptop and gear thats in the bag- its heavy!! The video that showed all of the functions was extremely helpful in making my decision. One of my fav purchases in a while! The bag is very well made, and there is plenty of room for my laptop, mouse, folders, books, sweater, and much much more. I really like the plain, clean look of the bag too- very simple and sleek. I highly recommend this bag!!

I use it to carry my computer and pappers

I bought this for my daughter to use in college. Shes been using it for three weeks now and she loves it! Shes a smaller girl and this is not too oversized and bulky for her. She hasnt used it as a backpack yet, she likes the ability to use it as a messenger bag. So far, it is wearing well. I would recommend this bag.

Sturdy, well constructed, and versatile. The fabric is nice thick reinforced polyester. My 17.3 Dell Inspiron fits like a glove. I cannot speak for the longevity of the zippers or seams at this time since I just got it. However, upon first inspection it seems very well done. Im happy to have 3 legitimate carrying options. The price point was an added bonus.

UPDATE: After using for 90 days, my wonderful backpack started coming apart at the seams. Booooo... changed to 3 stars. ; ( Id be more than willing to pay more for better quality, because the design cant be beat. ------------------------ I was searching for a compact messenger bag, back pack and briefcase combo. Holy cow--this fit the bill perfectly at an amazingly low price--cheap enough that I thought the quality might be poor--but its excellent! Its sleek and compact, and holds my MacBook, cords, mouse, personal items galore--just enough room to make my daily trek to the office perfect. Oh, and it has a cool, built-in padding for the laptop. Would absolutely buy this again.

First and foremost, I need a convertible backpack which allows for transport - all materials needed for the long days on campus (grad student). In addition, I need the professional aspect to function as a briefcase. Solely on those points, this bag fits the bill. (BTW - no discount or freebie here for this review - I paid for this!) PROS: 1. Material: feels and looks professional, good color, seems at the very least to be water repellent 2. Zippers: seem strong enough, especially when loaded - two of them house the briefcase handles 3. Padding: quality - on the backpack straps and particularly the section directly meant for the computer 4. Compartments: although the pictures do not necessarily show this, there are zippers on the outside, and inside, a pocket with divisions for pencils/pens/highlighters. CONS: 1. Backpack adjustable straps: are on the lower part not allowing for easy adjustment while on your back 2. Lower connection backpack straps: hidden - cannot see whether sewn in well or not 3. Strap to hold computer in place: oddly long, which would allow for movement and sliding around, something you dont want your computer to do when inside 4. No compartment/pocket for a water bottle (my pet peeve) 5. PRIMARY (HUGE) ISSUE: Backpack straps which rest on upper trapezoids (left and right) are situated in a very uncomfortable position when fully loaded. Im unsure if its the angle or the placement, but the straps are too close to your neck and would cause pain. Primarily for this reason, Im returning the backpack. Sad because even with the other cons (more annoyances than anything else) if it were not for this one, I wouldve kept the backpack because the pros outweigh the cons. Pictures: Its important to see how a backpack will perform in my daily life. Therefore, the pictures provide a sense of how much stuff this can carry, with the contents both packed and unpacked. Contents: Lenovo ThinkPad T460 in neoprene case, keys, 1 1/2 loose-leaf binder, yearly planner, scientific calculator, computer power cord, small cosmetic case, large cosmetic bag which houses pens/pencils/highlighters/usb drive/mouse/headphones and wallet. Final thoughts: if only used as a briefcase/shoulder bag, this may be for you. However, if the primary purpose is to function as a backpack, good luck. I think another reviewer mentioned the oddly-placed backpack straps, but sadly, I ignored that advice. In addition, cannot ascertain the strength of the shoulder strap as I didnt want to break the seal, but it is pictured.

I love this bag! Seems super sturdy, has plenty of little pockets, and it has a really nice padded insert for the laptop. I love that you can change it to a messenger bag or a backpack. Im not sure how much weight it can hold; I only use it to carry my 17 laptop and a couple small notebooks, but it seems like it could hold a book or 2.

I got this to put my Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 16 in it. It has room for the Laptop and charger with plenty of other room to spare. I feel like I could put two of the laptops in it to be honest. It is also a well made-high quality product that will protect your laptop with no worries. It can be carried around like a messenger bag or a backpack depending on the individuals preference.

Im a Realtor who likes to use a laptop so this bag is amazing for my 17 laptop. I usually wear it like a backpack but turn it into a hand held when meeting with clients at there home. It goes from laid back to professional is seconds and holds a ton of notebooks, supplies my laptop a tablet, my cell phone and the chargers. I own the grey color which looks sharp. I cant say enough about this gem.

Good set up, but the inner pockets dont have zippers. So when you turn it into a back pack, things can get mixed up a bit. Otherwise, great bag for the price.
