Review: I've Come to My Senses - ***UPDATE*** I've updated my review at the bottom of the original review. ************ Let me start off by saying, from what I understand the straps and part of the backpack that meets your back is the back of the bag and where the logo is where everyone can see it is the front. This terminology may prevent any misunderstandings in the review. If you're only looking for a list of Pros and Cons, see the end of my review. I ordered this backpack in replacement of the Adidas Ridgemont backpack because the Ridgemot started giving me some pretty heavy chaffing because it didn't keep it's shape and the bottom rubbed up against my back. Before all of this I was on a quest to find a backpack to replace my work backpack and to take with me when my band plays out of state. So I made a list of my requirements in order from most important to least important: -very large capacity (at least 2000 cubic inches) so I could fit a laptop, portable charger, tablet, cords, practice pad with one pair of drum sticks (I play drums in the band), clothes, towel, and shaving kit and still have room for anything else. -zippers that could support a suitcase lock. -suspension system to make it easier on my back. -very durable with a well built handle on the top. -laptop and tablet pockets. -decent price:size ratio. -loops on the front or on the straps to clip my IEM case to. -pocket on the side for a water bottle or other beverage. -various sub pockets and holders for accessories (cords, pens, etc). -NO WHEELS. I don't need wheels on my backpack. That's why they have straps. I did tons of research before deciding on this particular backpack. I watched video reviews, I looked up sizes and pictures wherever I could find the information. Here's a list of backpacks I considered and why my final decision was this pack: - Targus Demolition (I read reviews about the handle on this pack breaking off. With as much stuff as I plan to put in the backpack, this was not acceptable and there were also not enough large pockets) - Targus Drifter II (there were not enough dual zippers for me to secure this backpack with luggage locks and make sure all of my stuff would be locked up and there wasn't enough space to hold everything I wanted it to hold.) - Oakley Kitchen Sink (The name of this backpack drew me to it, but there's really not enough space in this pack for what I need it for and the price for such a small capacity backpack was ridiculous. pretty much paying for unnecessary latches.) - Ogio Renegade RSS (Once again, not enough dual zippers for all the pockets, so I couldn't secure it with luggage locks) - Swissgear Scansmart (not enough room in the backpack and the laptop pocket was inconvenient for my use.) - Thule Crossover (Too many 1 zipper compartments and not enough space for the price.) - Jansport Odessey (Looked like there wasn't much there for strap suspension.) - The North Face Router (There was no cushion or padding on the handle on top. Just a strap that looked not so durable.) -Adidas Ridgemont (my decision came down to the Adidas Ridgemont and the Samsonite Luggage Tectonic when I ruled out the others. I ended up getting the Ridgemont at first but like I said earlier, it didn't hold it's shape, the sound it made when you move it was much like what it would sound like moving a large tarp, there weren't enough pockets and I had to return it.) After all consideration and returning the Adidas Ridgemont backpack, I got the Samsonite Luggage Tectonic backpack, and when it arrived I noticed the pros and cons immediately. Here's what I found. Pros: - LIFETIME WARRANTY. (this is huge to have on a backpack to ensure it lasts you as long as possible). - tons of pockets to keep most of my accessories in. - well designed shoulder suspension. - dual zippers on most pockets and loops for luggage locks at the end of each zipper. - 2 side pockets for a bottled beverage. - laptop and tablet pocket. - loops on the front and on the straps. - padded, mesh back for good airflow. - very good quality of material and zippers with a very tough feeling handle on top. Cons: - Space. Apparently 2200 square inches is not enough to hold everything I need to carry in this. There's a huge flaw that no one has pointed out in any review I've read for this backpack. The pocket at the top is for headphones as you can see in the pictures. but the pocket doesn't have it's own space on the bag, but instead takes up space in the large middle compartment making it difficult to pack clothes or a shaving kit. -There's not a convenient pocket for a laptop cord. I use the pocket in the tech gear compartment for usb cords, tools, and an external battery. So my laptop cord gets put in one of the side pockets meant for bottles, unsecured and out there for anyone to just grab. Here's a list of what I have fit in this backpack: Electronics: Jackery Giant external battery, 15" laptop, 10.1" tablet, 5 usb cords in different lengths, D/C to A/C converter, AC usb charger, headphones, external portable hard drive, 3 various computer cables for work, and my in ear monitors are clipped to a loop on the front. Tools: screwdriver, a straight razor, Snap-it pocket knife, Leatherman Multitool, 3 drum keys. Office supplies: Journal notebook, Merch count notebook, 5 pens, post it notes, sharpies, and a small roll of duct tape. Yes that's a lot of stuff. But I have yet to even try to fit clothing and a shaving kit in this thing and it's almost jam packed to the brim. I'd also like to note that I have an 8.5x11 grid it organizer. Since it doesn't fit in the tech compartment and will only fit in the middle compartment, I took all my cords and gadgets out of it and put them in the front tech compartment so I would have more room for clothes. All in all, I think I'll keep looking for something better and return this backpack when I find something that meets my needs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated in the comments section below. ***UPDATE*** I ended up keeping this backpack and taking it with me to a show in Houston that my band played, just to see if I could make it work since I couldn't find much in comparison and time was running out. After some major rearranging, I decided there were a few things, I could leave at home when going out of town. Here is what I was able to fit in this pack: 2 sharpies, 2 pens, Gridit organizer with usb cords, hootoo portable router, hard drive, external charging battery, laptop, tablet, one set of clothes (shorts, underwear, shirt, 2 pairs of socks), knife, screwdriver, Leatherman multitool, over the ear headphones, sun glasses, keys, drum keys, IEMs, laptop charging cord, AC USB charger, DC inverter, standard sized shaving kit, 5X7 spiral notebook, and a bluetooth keyboard/case for my tablet. I ended up leaving my journal at home because it was taking up way too much space, and I put the roll of duct tape in the merch box with the tshirts. All in all, I made this backpack work, and ended up really enjoying it. I increased the stars to 5 due to the great experience I had with this bag. I still had a little bit of wiggle room left with all the gear I put in this bag. I just needed to do some rearranging and everything eventually worked out. I recommend this bag to anyone looking for a good quality pack to travel with and I hope my review helps.
Review: Samsonite Tectonic Backpack Black/Red PFT - I have examined quite a few bacpacks from various manufacturers both outdoor and urban types and I must say I am totally impressed with the quality and design of this item. I am a very selective and picky person who will scrutinize an item very thoroughly before commenting on it.The value of this backpack is without equal in the marketplace and I can honestly say it is the nicest backpack I have ever seen in my life especially for the price.After looking around I have determined that Samsonite makes the best bags on the market not Swiss Gear or the north face that is a misconception. The materials and construction are first rate with a level of attention to detail that you don't see anymore despite the fact that it is assembled in China I guess that is inescapable these days (Could be made in Taiwan which has better quality control than the mainland factories). This pack will last a long time with excellent durability great design means excellent functionality for all you will need it to do it even stands up on it's own which won me over right away. The quality of this bag belies the modest cost on desertcart making it quite easily one of the best buys I have ever seen in any category.Straps and back also very comfortable PFT laptop storage is a smart idea keeps your device secure and immobilized for protection. I guess you will have to see for yourself I am confident you will reach the same conclusion.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this bag have padding on the bottom to protect the laptop, I've notice on most laptop backpack they don't pad the bottom, which can be a problem**
A: Your laptop is EXTREMELY WELL PROTECTED with this bag. I have read so many ridiculous endorsements for "lightweight" backpacks which upon personal review at the store, felt like nothing more than a heavy duty trash bag. I'm not sure why these people have said there isn't any padding at bottom of bag?  http://shop.samsonite.com/business/samsonite-tectonic-17"-perfect-fit-laptop-backpack/51531XXXX.html?dwvar_51531XXXX_color=Black%2FRed&cgidmaster=blaz-bl025#start=6This bag is the best laptop bag I've ever owned. Purchased at Best Buy.

**Q: Will my Ion Speaker (12"W x 9"D x 13"H) fit?**
A: You'd be hard pressed to find a backpack that can fit 9" of depth, this one can't

**Q: this bag big enuff for laptop plus light jacket and over night clothes?**
A: Absolutely.  At the moment I have:

2 laptops (one of which is ruggedized),
2 FRC full length coveralls
Satnav
Dash beanbag for satnav
Leather-bound folder
Several notepads
Chargers for everything (laptops, phones, satnav)
Work cell phone
Ear buds
Various security passes
Mouse/mousepad
Pens, various protocol cables

And it still fits in overhead compartments on all but the smallest puddle-jumpers (regional flights), it fits under the seat just fine.

**Q: is this authentic samsonite item?**
A: Yes it is authentic. It is the real deal. And in my opinion, its the best backpack in terms of size and quality combined.
