## Overview

The SwissGear 1900 ScanSmart Laptop Backpack is a 31L, water-resistant, and lightweight (3.2 lbs) travel companion designed for professionals on the move. It fits laptops up to 17 inches and tablets up to 10" x 7", features TSA-friendly lay-flat scanning, RFID protection, and multiple organizational pockets. With ergonomic comfort and a 5-year warranty, it’s engineered to streamline your commute and airport experience.

## Description

The SWISSGEAR 1900 is the backpack that handles the full workload. Built from 1200D polyester, it carries the laptop, the tablet, the documents, the extra clothes, and the daily essentials without compromising structure or comfort. The ScanSmart lay-flat compartment keeps laptops up to 17" in the bag through TSA screening; a dedicated TabletSafe™ pocket secures tablets up to 10" x 7"; and a document divider in the main compartment keeps paperwork flat and accessible. At 3.2 lbs empty, it carries everything without weighing you down. Organization and comfort run deeply throughout this design. The RFID-protected front compartment holds cards, a removable key/fob clip, and the small items that need to stay put. A trolley strap slides over luggage handles so the pack rides hands-free between gates. Contoured shoulder straps and an Airflow back panel manage heat and load distribution across long travel days or commutes, while compression straps stabilize the pack when it's full and a reinforced molded top handle handles the quick grabs. Backed by SWISSGEAR's 5-year limited warranty.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will a 17-inch laptop fit?**
A: Yes — the padded ScanSmart compartment holds up to a 17-inch laptop, with a separate sleeve for a 10-inch tablet beside it. At 31 liters, there is room for the rest of your day too.

**Q: Can I get through TSA security without taking my laptop out?**
A: Yes. The ScanSmart compartment lies flat at the checkpoint, so the bag goes through the X-ray belt without removing your laptop or tablet.

**Q: Will it fit under the seat as an airline personal item?**
A: It is designed to fit the under-seat space on every major US airline as your personal item, and it rides as a carry-on in the overhead bin.

**Q: Is it comfortable when it is fully packed?**
A: Yes. Airflow back panels keep you cool and the padded straps are shaped for all body types, so a full load still carries easily.

**Q: How durable is it, and will it last?**
A: The body is built from high-denier, abrasion-resistant polyester and put through 25+ quality tests — engineered to hold up to years of daily carry and travel.
