Very disappointed to find that "fits most 17" laptops" did not apply to my own laptop. In fact, so much sticks out of the designated laptop pocket that I wonder if any 17" laptops fit that pocket at all. In order to fit my laptop, I have to wrap it in clothing and put it in the much less padded main compartment, which is less than ideal. Additionally, the bag could use some additional, shallower pockets or compartments or smaller size zippered pockets to hold things like passports, wallets, or small tech items without forcing the user to rummage in deep pockets. As it is, I am contemplating buying a smaller bag to put in this bag to make it functional.

Best Carry-on!
I absolutely love this backpack. I can pack enough for at least two weeks, it rolls well and fits even European overhead bins. I use compression cubes and do not check bags and along with my personal item traveling has never been so easy. (I have not used the backpack feature as that is for emergency use only and so far I have not had any emergencies.) The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is the back flap that is used when in backpack mode does not stay zipped up and there is a great potential for it to get ripped, especially if the bag is checked. I rigged up a strong elastic cord to go through it to keep it in place and so far it has taken three trips, two to Europe. Next trip to Iceland in the spring!

Sturdy And Large
Very sturdy, lots of compartments, rolls easily. The handle moves up and down smoothly. It's a little heavy, but hopefully that will mean it is more durable in the long run. Fits my middle schoolers many books, computer and lunch, with room left over for a change of clothes. Water bottle fits very well in the side pocket.

The Backpack I Needed To Save My Back
I purchased this backpack to haul around all my heavy textbooks for nursing school. It’s very sturdy and the wheels glide smoothly. I appreciate the telescoping handle for the long walks across campus. Highly satisfied and definitely recommend.

The Perfect Short Trip Bag.
I purchased the Powerglide Pro rolling backpack after a back injury which would not allow me to carry a heavy book bag at school. For that, it's perfect, I can fit every book I have, my laptop, my tablet, and everything else I could need inside this one pack. It's definitely a large pack, which would be excellent for traveling light if you were taking flights from place to place without the need for a large suitcase. It's definitely very sturdily constructed, compact for the volume it fits, and stylish to boot. The only thing I wish is that it had a few other small zipper pockets for small odds and ends that I need quick access to without having to open the full bag or dig through the compartment with the separator pockets. Otherwise, it's a fantastic bag which has been saving my back since I got it!

Best Versatile International Travel Bag.
This is a great travel bag. I bought this so that my husband and I could travel in a tiny car in Sicily and fit our bags in the boot as well as having the option to roll or carry them on our backs if the streets were too rough. It rolls nicely and has a good handle to put a duffle on top. I rolled all of my clothes and placed vertically so from a quick unzip of the top I can see the ends and grab things quickly. There are a lot of pockets so you can organize things well. It would fit in the overhead for Delta international travel, but we did check these and they were great. My husband got black.

Nice Design, Thin Nylon And Fragile Seams
Backpack did great as a camera bag for a combination of air travel and hiking, loved being able to convert between rolling and backpack. However, the nylon material seems cheap and not durable. On the first use, before getting on my first flight, the seam near the rolling handle ripped away and failed. Given almost no use, I’m hoping that High Sierra will cover under warranty.

Great Backpack
So far so good. My son uses this backpack for school. It is a great size and holds a lot of stuff. The water bottle holder could be deeper and it could use a Chromebook holder/pocket. Other than that it is great

Use For Air Travel And The Handle Strictures Broke
I own this in the beginning of sept and use it for air travel once, i put it inside the cabin storage, but when i gott off, the steel handle sfoundation has bent. This is very disappointing since i have this bag in just under a month. I have high expectations and the quality would be great since i have previous purchases of high sierra. Now even when i tried to file claim for warranty, i couldn’t find my exact type of backpack.
