    Thanks

    Have this bag, $12.88 is good price, happy with it overall.

    Only real issue I have so far is that the side pockets made out of net are smaller than represented in photos IMO.
    I haven't been able to fit a small umbrella. Would probably fit like a 450ml Mt. Franklin sparking water bottle, but it would be a tight fit.

    I personally don't really use those pockets so not a problem for me.

  • nuts on 15/03/2022 - 04:21

    Got this one last time, the main zipper is behind the shoulder straps so take that into consideration. It will definitely make retrieving things from the bag more complicated.

    But less than $13 delivered. Eh who cares.

    Also agree that the drink pockets are extremely small.

    • TimeOrMoney on 15/03/2022 - 07:06

      main zipper is behind the shoulder straps

      Sounds like this would be intended as a security element.

      • TooSerious2 on 16/03/2022 - 12:00

        Yep. Bought one in last deal. Hidden zip makes it feel much more secure but makes it hard to dip in and out of. But very fit for purpose of carrying a laptop, where you just lay it down and get the computer out.

  • tjswinno on 15/03/2022 - 07:36

    Picked this up in the last deal. Has become my new go-to work backpack.Can't beat it for the price.

  • Jessie Ryder on 15/03/2022 - 07:38

    Got it last time and the zip at the back is weird, you have to move the shoulder straps to open

    • BartholemewH on 15/03/2022 - 08:52

      So no one can unzip it on your back.

      • Royale with cheese on 15/03/2022 - 13:57

        I rather enjoy unzipping from the back

        • xoom on 15/03/2022 - 16:58

  • mdb01 on 15/03/2022 - 07:54

    I've got this bag - having the main zip behind your shoulders is great for security. Plenty of room for the work laptop, accessories, drink bottle, food etc. Its also very comfortable. Its a steal at this price.

    • mdb01 on 15/03/2022 - 08:34

      How'd you assess the quality if you never used it?

      • BigRiggs24 on 15/03/2022 - 09:09

        I'm guessing they never actually used it on a day to day basis

      • quadcaster on 15/03/2022 - 10:10
        +1

        I've assessed the quality through daily use. I'm still shocked that a backpack I paid less than $15 for can keep going and going and still look brand spanking new.

        Used it twice. Just see it as wasted space now. The backpack does not look as appealing and stylish as in the photos. And the stated RRP is a lie

        • BargainsGrabber on 16/03/2022 - 09:53

          Bought it last time and never used

          Never used and used it twice are two completely different perspectives

      I bought it and used it. For $12 or so its a great buy. Can you show me another new bag in the same price range that you would say is better value?

    • Schmiddler on 15/03/2022 - 09:04

      It's $12, what can you really expect?

  • GenerallyClumsy on 15/03/2022 - 08:29
    +2

    For the money it's unbeatable. Having the main zip under the straps makes it a better travel backback as it's harder for someone else to open it while you are wearing it. It is also super light weight.

  • BigMac2000 on 15/03/2022 - 08:31

    Does it have the Dell logo on the bag? If so, people will know you are carrying a laptop and may want to rob you.

    • BartholemewH on 15/03/2022 - 08:53

      Yes it does.

    • brawndo on 15/03/2022 - 09:41

      I think the Dell logo would be a deterrent

      • BigMac2000 on 15/03/2022 - 13:13

        I think you are right

  • daven1985 on 15/03/2022 - 08:48

    Would love it. But no real location to put my MBP and iPad. So pass. But thanks.

    • JL1 on 15/03/2022 - 10:19

      You can't put MBP inside this backpack? I am confused

      • daven1985 on 15/03/2022 - 10:57

        You can. But it only has 1 device slot… so not my MBP and iPad in their own slots.

        • b2dz on 16/03/2022 - 11:52

          Can you put them next to each other?

    Just ordered the 17 inch now. Been using a normal backpack and its a pain because the top corners are rounded and its not a good fit. Cheers !

    Awesome. Picked up the 13" sleeve for $9.79 inc delivery.

    • BargainsGrabber on 15/03/2022 - 09:19

      Awesome find! I’ll chuck that in the description too

      • Royale with cheese on 15/03/2022 - 14:00

        I like it without protection.

        On a serious note, I got the sleeve when it was at what now looks like a huge price but it's durable and nice for my tiny 13" one (laptop that is)

        • skimp on 23/03/2022 - 10:36

          Can I ask if it's padded around the edges and corners? I'm getting it for my kid's school laptop. Thanks

          • Royale with cheese on 23/03/2022 - 16:17

            @skimp: The whole sleeve is padded somehow but maybe not the best as the targus backpack I have. I usually just use it to put it inside my main backpack but it is plenty to use on its own

          • BargainsGrabber on 23/03/2022 - 17:33

            @skimp: If you want to go all the way and protect it I would recommend the Mous case
            I got it for my MacBook Pro 13’, a bit pricey but well worth the money imo

    Received mine today. Impressed with the super fast shipping. Have to get used to the zipper running underneath the straps, but looks to be a basic but very nice backpack. Awesome value! I even managed to stack it with the recent ShopBack bonus $3 cashback on $10 spend, so it ended up costing me $9.88!

      Has your order been dispatched from the Dell warehouse?

      I spoke to Dell sales and they advised that because Sydney stock ran out, mine is being shipped from Malaysia, so give them another couple of weeks.

      At the price we're paying, I guess we can't fault them for not using a faster service!

      • xoom on 01/04/2022 - 12:13

        This could explain why my 15" bags eta is april 26 when i bought the 17" bag days later which i already recieved yesterday. Shame though as i was hoping to take that overseas.

      • BargainsGrabber on 01/04/2022 - 15:54

        For $12.88 and the shipment is coming from Msia, that’s a solid deal I would say haha, free international delivery
