MATEIN Travel Laptop Backpack, 15.6 Inch College School Computer Bag, Grey

Because this didn't cost much I didn't expect much but it is wonderful and my full time travel backpack. There is plenty of room and plenty of different areas to put stuff with zippers. The straps are padded and the back is also as that is where the laptop goes. It is also a nice size for me as I am short and my old backpack (I still love it for the anti theft features) was so big on me. I have taken it on several trips and it shows no wear.

We bought this three years ago for our ELDEST. A boy rough and tumble teenager carried it through Middle School with 20 pounds of weight and a stainless steel water bottle it survived three years of being tossed around. He refuses to have any other book bag I bought him a namebrand and he will not use it because of how many pockets and the secret pocket That’s in the back to protect his phone. So we recently upgraded by buying the same exact thing but it seems to be better than the one that we had he said the zippers are different longer whatever that maybe he is on the spectrum so he notices small differences. And he was willing to change colors instead of gray we got black. When the bag came in I was sick and he made his book bag switch over which is a really big deal that’s how much he wanted to use it the only problem we had with his old book back is he got the mesh part caught on something and ripped it where his stainless steel water bottle went and that hole grew bigger. It never completely bottomed out but I didn’t want my son walking around with a beat up book bag that was three years old as a freshman in high school after purchasing a namebrand he doesn’t care about brands I just wanted him to fit in. I wasted my money on name that namebrand did not have all the features this one did especially that pocket which now I believe every book bag should have because my daughter does not have one and we’ve had issues with phones being stolen at school. They cannot put it in the outer pockets somebody will steal it or steal something out of their bag so important things need to be put in that hidden pocket that is up against the users back. It holds my son‘s laptop/Chromebook and every there are no lockers so everything he has for school is in that bag. Considering the last one was still usable it still is it’s just I would prefer a nicer cleaner look the gray I could’ve cleaned it yes but the black looks sleeker and they have seemed to have made improvement or the black it’s just different than the gray I don’t know. I am just this is a 10 out of a 10 recommendation. When you’ve got very very picky children where you have to buy multiples of everything if they like something he wears the same pair of pants to school every day they don’t care that it’s the same pair so you buy multiples. So I’m going to probably buy more of these book bags to get him through high school college and he wants an emergency book bag. Bag. As a family emergency plan every human has a book bag/bag it’s tactical to carry lifesaving emergency items.

And we’re ahead of the game because his old book bag is still usable besides one mesh pocket the newer version that I’m reviewing right now I will say the pocket seems to be deeper than mesh pocket that is on the side that his water bottle goes in it seems to be larger than the last one it’s the same water bottle that he’s had For two school years in a row and it fits much tighter snugger and deeper.

I used to feel like his water bottle was going to fall out it never did but the way it looked it made me feel that way as a neurodivergent person I hope other neurodivergent person can appreciate this review and the type of detailing I’m giving. And I am happy to come back with a video comparing the two. We did go with the larger size I wasn’t sure what I ordered a couple years ago size wise. I went to my orders I clicked on the book bag and there is options and I’m like what size did I order took the measuring tape and it said it was at least 17 inches so I knew he needed the 17 inch one. at pictures when trying to purchase is confusing when you click sizes if you click on the 15 inch some of the pictures are still the same as the 17 inch. So that is difficult to understand we do have the 17 inch I recommend that over the 15 inch. Yes it does cost more money but you get so much more with the few extra dollars. The shoulder straps are comfortable. They have never broken. At one point when we first got his original bag the doctor had to write a note due to his traumatic brain injury he has some health or physical conditions with his lungs and his book bag could not weigh more than 17 pounds. He was starting to have a hunch back bad posture and pain . Because there are no more lockers that’s not a thing where we live. But since then he’s grown seven in the year of 2023. I still feel like he shouldn’t be caring 20 pounds but it is helping build strength and his posture is much better with this book bag keeping his shoulders back . I do these reviews because that’s how I purchase items how I make decisions are based on reviews. My son is almost the same height as me I’m 5 foot 11. He is high-level now so I would say he’s 59 to 510 he’s about 100 pounds This book bag suits him wonderfully it is a book bag that I will be purchasing for myself. I don’t know the specs in terms of waterproof or anything like that. He does like the ability to put a charger in it a power bank. Each pocket has a specific purpose. And it didn’t change too much The outside pockets that are exposed are still well placed and in a way hidden. Still not a place to put a phone. Phones his does not go in his pocket most children I know use them in their pockets. Their school allows them to have phones. My son feels that he could be pickpocketed . So that zipper is a game changer. I have seen dupes of this book bag and they do not have that zipper it looks like it in the picture but it’s a mesh airflow there is no zipper there do not fall for the dupes I almost dead I almost purchased the wrong bag that’s why I always go back to my original order to re-order from. I favorite things. Unfortunately sometimes those things are no longer there we got lucky with this book bag. Now we have a namebrand from when I was in school that sort of useless it does not have the features nowhere near the features this book has for computer/tablet or laptop. Don’t waste your money on Jan sports. But again my kid does not care about brands I order the same shoe and the next size and have been for years I ordered the same pants and a different size and he wears them every single day he has the same pair of pants. with a genius IQ 4.925 GPA going for engineering a believes this is the best book bag well-made book bag there is. I am not as smart as my child just super neurodivergent spicy uses talk to text this review is for other neurodivergent people. I know I make very long posts or reviews. Too much to read. Details matter. For the people that will not read it this review is not for them for the people that need to know little details this is for you. And I will be back with pictures and videos highlighting the features that we like the most. I mean the user of the book bag. I will be the one highlighting them as he does not consent to being on camera. I will do my best to reinterpret his explanations of the features. Everything above was my experience as a parent a neurodivergent parent purchasing for a neurodivergent child !

Right product at the right price.

I wanted a new airline personal item travel bag that was soft and fit easily under the seat!

Good size that fits most airlines. Dropped it right in the Frontier airlines bag tester at airport.

Nice variety of pockets. Fit all my stuff but I travel light. Few snacks. Water bottle on outside.

Small tablet. Phone. Passport. Reading material. Small sweater or jacket was no problem. Small lock fit through zipper tabs to lock main compartment. The outside strap fits over the extended pull handle of standard carryon bag with wheels as advertised.

I bought this MATEIN backpack for my son, and he really likes it. It has plenty of space for his laptop, books, notebooks, and everyday school items.

The wide shoulder straps are a big plus because they help distribute the weight evenly across his shoulders, making the backpack more comfortable to carry throughout the school day.

The hidden back pocket is a great feature for keeping his phone, wallet, and other valuables more secure. I also like the built-in USB charging port, which makes it convenient for charging his devices while he’s on the go.The backpack feels sturdy and well made, and the water-resistant material is a nice bonus. I also like the multiple compartments and pockets, which make it easy to keep everything organized.

Overall, it’s a practical and stylish backpack that works well for school and travel. Very happy with this purchase!

For the price, this is a good backpack. Lots of room and different sized pockets for things. I can fit a LOT in here. There are some downsides though. After 3 semesters of hard use, the side mesh pockets were stretched out and the bottom of the bag had hole ripped in the outer layer. I sewed the pockets tighter and it was still usable. The mesh where it sits on my back is pilling now after 5 semesters of use and I want to get a new backpack now, it’s looking too worn for my tastes. Not too bad for the price! I will say the mesh water bottle pockets are on the shorter side and taller/bigger water bottle will fall out frequently. Definitely didn’t work for my 30oz Owala. But my 18oz Yeti was fine. If you just wanna use it for a year or two, this is a great choice!

I use this backpack primarily for taking my laptop back and forth to work. However, I also pack a number of other items into this that I may need. I love the fact that it is not too bulky, in spite of having a number of separate compartments. The one for the laptop is well padded and secure with a strap. Next to that is another large compartment. This is where I put my lunch, winter hat or cap, gloves and I can even fit a lightweight jacket in here. The next compartment is smaller for keys, wallet and small misc. items. With all of these options there are still two more zipper compartments in the front. One is smaller and right on the front of the bag for easy access. The other one is on the side and larger. The side one is sort of hidden, which I actually like. The material seems to be water, stain and tear resistant. The zippers seem to be strong and well made. The straps are padded and very comfortable. I also like the large handle on the top, which makes it easy to grab and pick up from the floor. Additionally, there is a small loop handle, which is convenient for hanging the bag on a hook. I will add that my previous bag was thin and not rigid. I liked it and planned to replace it with the same type. Once I tried this bag, I decided to stay with it. I mention this mainly because this bag will stand on its own. This makes it really easy when loading or unloading items into it. The overall appearance is very clean and professional looking. I am really pleased with all the features and feel that the price is very reasonable.

Very good capacity and the number of compartments. Convenient access, good material to hold laptop, files, and miscellaneous items. The zippers are very easy to use, does not snag. Comfortable to carry and secure

Nice sturdy backpack. It’s got multiple pockets, some are padded so your electronics are safe, there are little pouches and mesh bags. Basically a cool bang that you can shove a bunch of stuff in and still have some space. The zippers are sturdy and so far have not jammed or broken. The material itself is sturdy and good quality.
