Kensington Triple Trek Slim Backpack for MacBooks, Chromebooks

I purchased this from Amazon USA and the quality of the zipper is really bad that I had to throw it away

This is my third purchase of seemingly same backpack. First I got around 2013 mb, next in 2017. Both were of perfect quality and lasted quite long, considering very often use. I was excited to see that the same backpack is still being produced and just bought a new one from Amazon. But got very disappointed with the quality, it dropped dramatically from 2017. In terms of design it is exactly the same product, but materials feel much cheaper, especially zipper. Fabric is worse too. Will see how long it last, but my guess would be not too long. And it is less pleasant to use too.

Using it everyday for 1,5 year, still good condition. 15 inch old MacBook fits too.

Güzel şık ve kullanışlı bir çanta. Tam ihtiyaçlarımı karşılıyor.

*Edit, January 2018I am still loving this bag! I’ve used it as my everyday backpack as a high school teacher for the past few years, and still find it absolutely perfect for my needs. However, a few weeks ago I messed up - I tried to squeeze too much in the bag (it is definitely a small backpack, which is what I love most about it) and the zipper seam ripped. But come on...after years of constant use, I just can’t be upset. And really, it was my fault. Everything else about the bag is still holding up beautifully. And I can’t say enough about how much I love the size. Perfect for carrying a laptop, tablet, and a small stack of grading. No extra space means I stay organized and only carry what I need. I’ll honestly probably buy another of these if I can’t get the zipper fixed on this one. See my original review below for a full description of the backpack - I still agree with every word! Even though I sound like I was paid to write this, I swear I wasn’t.Original review, August 2013Here's the deal: finding a backpack online is hard. If you're like me, you spend hours looking at potential purchases, agonizing over the fact that you can't see, hold, or try out what you're considering spending money on. Since I know how difficult it is to find a backpack online, and because I'm so pleased with this product, I'm going to try to give a very comprehensive review. Note that I am a female grad student who uses this bag to carry an ultrabook, iPad, small paperback philosophy texts, and a notebook or two to and from campus every day. With that said, here goes:The price and quality:I was a little apprehensive about the price of the Triple Trek, since the other backpacks I was considering (Case Logic 15", Belkin Slim, and Belkin Core mainly) were all $25-40. While it may not be a lot to many, to someone in grad school $58 is a lot to spend on a backpack. In my opinion, though, it was worth the price. The backpack is both lightweight and sturdy-feeling, and appears to be of good quality. The padding is very good, and the weight distribution is fantastic. I wouldn't pay too much more than what I did for this bag, but that may just be because I'm cheap. All in all, I think it's a good price, and if you can find it for less, even better!The appearance:I wasn't quite sure what to expect here. The other reviews said it looked great, but the pictures are just not good quality. The bag sorta looked like fake leather to me, but I decided to believe the other reviewers when they said it looked good. They were right! I really like the look of the bag. The material is not fake leather but is that woven nylon material that many backpacks are made of. The black zippers, zipper pulls, and logo give the back a really sleek look, as does the size. And speaking of the size...The size:This is honestly my favorite part about the bag. I absolutely LOVE the size of it! I'm a 5' 5" woman, so it's not like I'm super tiny. But even so, I'm so sick of backpacks that are so long that they cover my butt! I tighten the straps as much as possible, but the bags are always still so long. Not only is this uncomfortable (a backpack should lay flat along your back), but it looks silly and is just a waste of space! I spent hours looking on Amazon and other places, trying to find a backpack that was roughly the length of, you know, my back. And here, I finally found one. When I saw that the Triple Trek was only 14" compared to 18" on almost all of the other bags I was looking at, I knew I had to at least give it a shot. And I am so happy I did! Ladies, if you've been looking for a small backpack (that you don't need to carry giant textbooks with), please try this one!The compartments:The laptop pocket perfectly fits my ultrabook in its envelope-style case, so I'm certain it would fit a non-ultrabook that's not in a case. The tablet pocket also perfectly fits my iPad in its smart case, and would probably fit one in a slightly larger case as well (an Otterbox would definitely be a stretch). These two pockets are very nicely padded and I don't feel the need to gingerly set the bag down every time. The space between the two padded pockets inside the main compartment is perfect for what I was looking to carry, which is just a couple paperback books, a planner, and a notebook. To give you a size reference, I'd say you could squeeze (and I mean squeeeeze) 2 3-subject notebooks in there, and 3 of those if you don't have a laptop or tablet in at the time. The front pocket has a couple spots for pens, plus another small pockets and a small mesh pocket. In front of these you could fit another paperback if you needed to. There's also a clip to attach keys in this front pocket. The top pocket is soft and would be perfect for a cell phone or game device, and has the headphone pass-through. The hidden water bottle pocket on the side is just genius; it's there when you need it, but tucks away when you don't to keep the bag looking neat and streamlined. I'd imagine you could shove a few pens in that pocket as well, if you never plan to use the mesh water bottle holder. Finally, there's also a hidden on the right side of the bag right next to your back. It's about 8" or so, is very flat, and is held closed by a 3" strip of Velcro. I actually don't know what I'd put in that pocket, but its so flat and inconspicuous that it doesn't detract from the bag whatsoever even if it's never used. I imagine that if you use the bag as a carry-on that this would be the perfect place for a passport and boarding pass, as it is very easy to access.Conclusion:I love this bag! After so long searching for the perfect backpack, I think I can say that I found it! I would absolutely recommend this bag, especially to ladies. It's perfect for school or business, as long as you travel light.

Hace mas de un año que compre este backpack, lo uso regularmente y sigue en buenas condiciones. Creo que la imagen del proveedor ejemplifica exactamente la capacidad del producto. Yo lo uso para transportar mi notebook, tablet, cargadores, un par de libretas y lentes. No hay espacio para mucho mas. Tiene integrada una red lateral para cargar una botella de agua, pero es un poco estrecha.Compre este producto harto de cargar backpacks gigantescos y estoy conforme con su capacidad, fue una buena inversion.

This is an excellent sized backpack for Lenovo Thinkpad 4xx series laptops (14" screen). I use a TP440p but I do not use the dedicated inner pocket for a laptop -- I just simply slide it into the main area. Very quick and easy to use. Padding is decent enough unless you are going to throw the pack around. I respect my equipment, so I'm careful, and the padding on this backpack is more than sufficient for my purposes.The pack is very light-weight and carries a water bottle, which was the main feature I was after in a pack this size. The hidden pocket (velcro closure) along the back right (see pics) is a great bonus and I love it for quick access to my car keys and office pass card. The bottom padding on the back can slip over the handle of a carry-on suitcase if you are an airport traveler. The zippers cannot be locked though.The inner lining is soft, and the perfect size for a snug fit for the laptop and a book, and there is even an extra pocket for an iPad within the main compartment. The secondary zippered pocket is generous enough to fit the power supply and other odds and ends, but personally I don't carry it, given that the Thinkpad has a 10 hour battery life and I prefer to carry less weight. The top mini-zippered pocket is great for loose change and earbuds and fits even the largest cellphones on the market.The mesh bottle holder will hold a 500ml water bottle and can be hidden away behind a zipper. I think it would have been better to make this a solid nylon fabric holder, as it would have been more robust.My only negative comment is that the zippers are poor quality plastic (not YKK brand) and seem to be failing rather quickly. Mine have lost some of the teeth (main compartment), or the zipper does not run smoothly for the full length (secondary zippered compartment), and I've only used the pack for 3 months. Time for a warranty exchange.I would buy again if the zippers were improved (larger size teeth) for much more frequent use.Update 7July2015: Called in to Kensington Support and opened a ticket for this bag last week based on my zipper issues. 4 days later, they Fedex'd me a brand new bag. That's what I call customer service and standing behind your product. Very pleased.

I bought this for my Macbook Air M1 and it fits perfectly, backpack is compact yet has enough space in various compartments for storing my external drives, USB hub, chargers, cables and a few extra oddities I always carry with me, I however used up the tablet compartment for storage as well, if you plan on carrying a tablet and a laptop in this backpack your space for extra stuff will be more limited (you will be down to two storage compartments). The laptop compartment is spacious and I think I will be able to fit my Macbook in a sleeve inside, I don't own a sleeve yet to test that, but I am fairly certain it will fit.Build quality seems good and with enough padding in all the right places, I hope it will last.I chose this backpack because it is compact, made by a reputable company and looks inconspicuous enough.
