I bought this bag 2 years ago. I do like the bottom hard shell box, it actually lift stuffs up and help to arrange things more reasonable. But my backpack is more good looking with light gray color. The backpack in video is too dark to be check details.
I basically have the original version of this bag, the Professional Slim Laptop backpack junior and just looking at this bag I can tell the quality of the materials on my bag is much better than this one, in general the quality of all the bags at eBags seems to have fallen since Samsonite bought them and made changes to the company. In the past I recommended them, now no more.
I have the slim junior as well! I was thinking about upgrading to a bigger size, but they arent the same anymore. what did you end up getting? need recommendations
@@zoolanderfred the transit workpack is a new 23L younger sibling to the 28l transit backpack that you are referring to. It was released earlier this week.
Nice review but you guys seem to pack things to these bags that make them look good but sadly I have to pack stuff that I need to bags not the opposite. Could you get set of normal things and stuff that people normally put their bags and show how well all of those same things fit on every bag? I can't change my stuff based on bag... I need what I need and bag has to fit those things or I have to get new bag.
@@N0RBS0N Laptop and charger for it, headphones and phone charger and waterbottle at least and now probably mask, handsanitizer. I mean because if we want to see bags that are fitted with stuff that makes them looks we can go to look manufacturer ads/photos. How many of us example have ruler on our bag?
@@Whigu Headphones (but in ear) were shown and the sanitizer too. That bag is rigid and so i think won't look much different when full or empty. ist doesnt collapse much.
@@N0RBS0N Yes? What's your point? I didn't say that I list thing that are or are not in this video. I started to list thing that there should be on every bag review. Other people can list more things what there should be.
@@Whigu My first point was, that you said you want to see different stuff packed in the bag, but didn't said what. Now my point is, that of your list("Laptop and charger for it, headphones and phone charger and waterbottle at least and now probably mask, handsanitizer.") _everything_ was actually packed into the bag (except i don't saw a mask). So the complaint about packing the wrong things seems to be not valuable at all.
I've used it with Delta, Jetblue and Frontier Airlines under the seat several times in the past 2 years. I believe it sticks out a little with Frontier, but never got a word from flight attendants. Of course, YMMV.
@@remyd8767 *UPDATE* I flew American to Mississippi and it fit great under the seat. Very happy with this bag. Especially love the easy access tablet pocket.
Agreed. worst part is the first large section not opening up full clamshell.

Ops. I've just order one. I hope it won't be that bad
I have this bag in black with brown/tan leather trimming/handles. very sharp looking IMO.
Thanks for the insight, Natacha! 😃

Thank you for the thorough walk thru! Now I know this isn’t the bag for me
You got it, hope you find the right bag for you, C Dubs! 😊

Please please please do one for the new Bellroy transit workpack!! It has so much potential
They did, 11 months ago.

I have an alienware x17 it's larger than almost 17 in, I read that this backpack is in 21 inch. Any recommendation thank you?

And what do you mean? What would be normal stuff for you? Laptop, chargers, lots of small pieces looks pretty straight forward.

Will this fit under airline seats?
It depends on the airline! Check the regulations for the airline you’ll be flying with 😃
