OGIO International Ruck 20 Laptop Backpack

Use for business travel. Holds an Asus portable monitor and HP laptop with ease in the back pocket. Plenty of room for everything else. Really good value for the price point.

Love this bag. Has many pockets that were well thought out and easy to navigate. It hangs well on the back and doesnt cause any discomfort. Used a Swiss Gear bag before but would recommend this one over the ones I have used.

I had been looking around for a small sized backpack that I could use as my day-to-day bag for college when I came across the Covert. It seemed to be what I was after, though there was not quite the level of detail I wanted to confirm that it could actually hold the bare essentials I needed. Seeing as it was in many ways the best, I took the plunge and ordered it several months ago. I will first say what I was hoping someone would mention: Yes, this backpack can hold a decent amount of notebooks and files, as well as a thin laptop (think Macbook air or ultrabook thickness). The pictures do it more justice than I can write here. The photos show the bag as fully loaded as I can, without it bulging awkwardly out. It has four Moleskine Cahier X-Large notebooks, a softcover 400 page textbook (thin pages), a Mead plastic file with around 80 pages of an engineering pad, an iPad mini, standard pens and calculator etc, and a Macbook Air. One of the images shows the bag with the aforementioned items, but placed inside a Northface Jester II backpack, to illustrate the massive size difference. It can comfortably hold around 5 thin notebooks as a maximum, with a Macbook Air in the sleeve. For another reference, without a laptop, I managed to fit a three semester calculus book and its softcover solution manual within the pack, which pushed it to its extreme holding capacity. If you are inclined to carry any more than a single textbook, or more than a few notebooks or files, this might not be the best pack, but if most of your work is done on a (thin) laptop, with maybe some files and notebooks for class notes, this is the perfect lightweight backpack. Also, note that the bag is very rectangular, so anything that is not will fit poorly. Sweatshirts, lunch bags, and so on are not really something you can use with this, unless they are the only thing you put in it. This is also a poor fit if youd like to carry mass market paperbacks around (due to the thickness constraint). I have been using it almost daily both for class, and now for an internship, and it has held up without any visible wear. It is apparent that Ogio cheaped out on the zipper pulls, making them out of plastic that would definitely break if you yanked on them, but as long as you are conscious of their fallibility they should hold up. I have not had any issues with them so far. For the select few who can rely more on digital than paper, but still need to takes notes and have some scratch paper, I would highly recommend this backpack.

I use this backpack for transporting my laptop when I travel on planes. Its easy to open for inspection and very durable. Also like the metal handle.

Love this bag. So much room. Built really well. Except the plastic hook in the front compartment. It broke the first time I tried to put something in it. Other than that, great bag.

I was in need of a large laptop backpack for my hefty 17.3 laptop, Asus G75VW. This was a very decently priced backpack that fit my laptop inside with ease and much room to spare. It doesnt fit in the back pocket, which I assumed was for laptops, but it fits inside the bag anyhow. Theres not as much pockets as most backpacks Im used to, but I like that. It gives the bag a more simple, minimalistic look. The pockets it has is more than enough for everything I carry. This backpack is very light. It has a very nice neutral gray color on the outer layer with a rather odd reddish/orangish inner layer. I guess it gives it a bit of color. It can carry quite a bit. To my unexpected delight, I managed to fit a large watermelon inside when I needed to carry it. Im very happy with my purchase.

Love it. Sturdy. Lots of compartments.

Pretty nice bag. Found it on clearance at a local store and was in need of a new bag for work. I carry a dewalt impact, a small cooler bag for my food, headphones, a few ziplock bags with food, gloves, extra shirt, keys, wallet, a water bottle and a few other things and they all fit great with room to spare. The bag is also really sturdy.

Very satisfied with this back pack! Holds an (almost) 16in. laptop in the sleeve perfectly... even leaves some space for like a notebook or something. Also, no matter how much I put in it, it never seems TOO bulky. Great for bike rides or anyone else.

This is the perfect backpack. Im always amazed by how much I can get into this rucksack. Its top loading. so you can get much larger items to fit that would in similar sized backpack. The inside is red, so its a good contrast and makes it easy to spot items inside.
