Great Backpack
I was so impressed with the backpack quality. It fits my laptop perfectly. I am using this backpack not just for my laptop but also for my other things like book, tablet, etc. It's very handy. One thing I don't like is it very heavy

Happy
Bought my first one some years back. The zipper broke after daily use. I decided to purchase this one as a replacement. I hope it holds up like my old one.

TBB617GL Similar to TSB 140-50 with SafePort Sling
Similar to my previous bag that wore out after 6 years of everyday use.

Great purchase! Plenty of room!
I bought this backpack three weeks ago and am happy with the purchase. This backpack fits everything I need for my mobile office as a hybrid worker. Also due to the amount of items outside of my laptop that I carry to the office, I don't feel the weight on my back that I felt with my prior backpack.

It has a compartment to hold a laptop, two pockets for water bottles, an interior compartment, etc. I love how much storage space this backpack has. The backpack is sturdy and durable. The shoulder straps are cushioned which makes it comfortable to wear. This is ...

Great for traveling
This back back was great for traveling: it was big enough to hold all of my tech gear and then some. There’s lots of pockets and space. It is small enough and easy enough to store and it’s easy to clean is something gets spilled on it!

Nice Backpack!
This backpack is definitely checkpoint-friendly. I was anticipating it to have wheels on it for some reason, which it doesn't have, but that's a plus. It is very lightweight and compact, but roomy enough to include a laptop and other belongings. It is also very comfortable to wear.

Needs more pockets
This backpack is just ok. I was using a similar backpack for several years and decided to give this one a go. It was nice at first but soon I realized it was missing something… pockets! It needs more pockets to store little items. Other that that it’s just meh

Perfect for service work at customer locations
Well made, super protective.

Great Features
15–16” Mobile Elite Checkpoint is a backpack made for your computer. The quality of the backpack is great. It’s very thick & tough feeling. It does come with a lot of zipper components which is excellent. The more zippers the better. It’s to help hold cords, mouse, mousepads, & any other gadget you need for your computer. It’s very convenient to have because you can sim...

Response from Staples :
Yes, at nearly 3lbs (2.64lbs) this is one of our heavier bags. However, for the features offered such as the SafePort Sling Protection or the checkpoint friendly design it can't be beat. We are glad to hear that you are otherwise enjoying our bag and hope to hear how well it travels with you in the future.
