I migrated over from an expensive briefcase (brand rhymes with "roomy"), and find that this pack not only holds everything just as well, but organizes it better.

Absolutely the best and all time favorite backpack. I make this statement after i owned the first Ogio Gambit backpack for over 6 years. I used it as my daily work bag, filled heavy everyday with tools and thrown around. I wasn’t careful with the bag and i had no rips at all. The sunglass hardened case is amazing. You can put a lot in it with all different compartments your stuff will be neatly separated. Other than my daily stuff for work, tools and such, i always carried extra pants, socks t-shirt and hoodie in the main pouch and i stuck a large battery charger easily accessible in the front. After years of use and heavy abuse of this bag finally my zippers went bad by getting ripped and its my fault cause I overloaded the bag for years. I know what i put this bag through and it handled everything. This is a fantastic bag and that is why I ordered it again to replace the old one. This one came with slight updates like the main carry handle and the added amazing airport luggage pass-through, but overall it is exactly the same. I highly recommend it. I also use it everyday for work and also when i travel. It’s a perfect bag in my opinion and I don’t get paid by the company to say that, i just owned one for a long time and it proved to be the best i ever used. Highly recommend.

- I’ve read all these reviews blasting the Ogio Gambit for NOT holding a 17” Laptop. Ogio plainly makes available the Dimensions of the Laptop section of the backpack. That’s because most Laptops have differing dimensions.
- My 15.5” Laptop easily slides into the pocket with room to spare. My wife’s 17” Laptop fits snugly in the pocket. Your Laptop may have different dimensions that make it a challenge to fit in the Laptop pocket. You should have measured your Laptop before purchasing this backpack.
- This Ogio Gambit backpack is well-built and versatile. It replaces an aging Swissgear backpack that is not as rugged as the Gambit.
- One thing is for sure: I recommend this Ogio backpack with confidence, knowing that it is well-built and well-designed. This is now my favorite backpack for carrying a Laptop, tools and other technical gear that I use every day at work.

I can't say enough how much I like this bag!
It is constructed very well. The zippers work without having to hold the bag, you just zip them down or up.
This bag actually stands up, it is not always falling over when you set it somewhere.
I use this bag instead of a briefcase, so I carry a lot of stuff in it. Compared to my last bag, it actually seems lighter on my shoulder. I know that probably doesn't make much sense, being I actually have more in this bag than my last one, but it does. It must be the way it is constructed and how it distributes the weight when on your shoulder.
I do not carry a laptop so I can not say what sizes fit or which one's do not, so this was not a consideration for me.
The only thing I wish was that it came in the cool neon tropics color scheme, or you could get the red zipper pulls from the black bag on the graphite one. Very minor complaint.

Ogio Always makes great products, and this backpack has plenty of pockets and very well built

This would have been my third ogio backpack. Unfortunately my latest laptop from work (a 17" workstation) did not end up fitting. Otherwise a great backpack. Will miss the design and quality.

Would love a 17.3" laptop backpack from ogio. Instant buy.

Crazy number of useful pockets. The structure and security is excellent. Quality and sturdiness are above expectations. I've recommended this product to all of my coworkers
