Port Designs 105330 Portland Laptop Backpack

THIS IS MY SECOND BAG BOURGHT FIRST ONE IN 2018 THAT ONE IS GET LOTS OF RIP SO I DECIDE TO BUY NEW ONE SAME BEFORE BUT I TRY TO SEARCH OVER THE INTERNET FINALLY I FOUND BUT IN EIGHT YEARS TIME PRICE WAS GONE UP LITTLE BIT BUT DOESN'T MATTER SO I LIKE THE QUALITY OF PRODUCT AS WE'LL

Previously had a very handsome (and more expensive) laptop backpack purchased from a more 'fashion orientated' shop as opposed to something more practical. It was for university and unfortunately after just over two weeks of use it began to show signs of wear tearing in places so I refunded it and looked on Amazon for a bag. Materials feels nice, padding on shoulders and back is comfortable. My 15.6" Lenovo G505s fits nicely. I had deducted a star for two reasons put into one: First, the middle compartment is not a large holding space as I would have thought, rather a few inches deep. Not a problem, I see the practical use for some (quick access to keys, or wallet etc). It should have been made clear in the product images. I usually keep my laptop charger in a middle compartment. Secondly, it does feel ever so slightly cramped with my books in it. Perhaps I put too much in, or I'm just too used to my usual camping/outdoors bags? Other than that I like the quality and two smaller compartments. Looks quite smart too, I reckon. Delivery was as estimated so no complaints there. The bag is not a grey colour as in the image, it's black all over except the red bits. Main compartment has the ability to use a small padlock is you wish.

I bought my first Port Designs Houston 6 years ago. That bag saw me through five years at university, carrying my laptop and heavy books. It was big enough that I could fit groceries into it, squeezing in 4 pints of milk, tinned goods... you name it! The bag has multiple compartments for storage so it was my favourite carry-on bag for journeys abroad as well. It was a reliable companion which was still going strong after 6 years. The only sign of wear was at the top of the bag where my laptop had rubbed the fabric thin after 6 years. Otherwise, the bag was still durable and comfortable after so long. I unfortunately killed that bag by accidentally putting it into the tumble drier which destroyed the padding. The bag is otherwise fine on a 40 deg wash. This purchase is the replacement, so I hope that it will last a similar amount of time. Will update this review if I recognise that any element of the construction or durability is different! So far, it's an exact replica.

Great bag, well constructed with a quality feel. My MacBook Pro 15" fits really well and although there is not a lot of padding I don't feel that the laptop is unprotected. The other pockets hold a lot and the back pack shoulder handles are well padded and comfortable, I would certainly recommend this bag to friends and family. As a word of warning about the photos of the bag on Amazon, this bag is black with a bit of red piping. The grey sections of the photo must be down to their lighting because the one I received is black all over.

I bought this for my dad back in 2019 and he uses it to carry his weekly shopping on the bus every week. It's only recently started to wear. I've also had a port backpack for the last 13 years which is going strong and both me and partner use port for work backpacks too. I'd recommend port designs backpacks to anyone and will definitely be getting my Dad another port backpack to replace his current one

This is ok if you’re not looking for high quality and secure, it’s probably just fine.

It's nice product.

Wanted a fairly compact backpack for work with padded laptop compartment and enough room for a few accessories, drink bottles, notepads etc and this was ideal size and like the neat design.
