Normally, I do not write unless I have a compelling reason. Everki has provided one. An excellent one. Recently, Everki replaced my aging backpack which had begun to unravel at the seams. There were no questions about abuse or unrealistic wear and tear, merely a request for proof which once provided initiated a replacement policy. The process was simple. The replacement quick and easy and the service along the way stellar.

I am a big Everki fan, more so now than before. The backpacks are superior to anything out there, Apparently so is its customer service

Recently got a replacement for my 4yo beacon. Due to out of stock for beacon, i got free upgrade to Atlas model and i'm really impressed with the responsiveness and superb service by Everki support. I received the replacement within 2 working days, highly recommended! I love the new Atlas, thanks Everki.

I have accumulated many laptop bags and this Atlas is very good. A little tight for a 17.3 laptop, but fits in snug. I do travel a good amount and the features are spot on. I might suggest just three possible adjustments to the bag.

One, a shallow storm flap that discretely is out of the way unless you need it over the newspaper/magazine area if the rain comes up.

Two, tasteful side compression straps to compress the bag when you don't have a full load and you want to make the bag and contents more stable.

Three, pen and business card pocket in the front flap. When loaded the middle area isn't as accessable as the front area.

Other thoughts:

The side pocket for a water bottle is limited to smaller bottles but that keeps the profile sleek.

RFID protection for the front pocket.

A discreet rain cover over the length of the coil zippers helps keep out the elements

A inner sleeve pocket in the magazine area sized for boarding passes. Keeps boarding passes from falling out when you pull out your newspaper or magazine.

In the meantime, I'll see if there is a rain cover for downpour situations and can figure out a way to control shifting load.

You have a great bag already. Perhaps these ideas may help the innovation and organization of the bag. I'll watch for these features in the future.

At first I was a little intimidated by the sheer amount of space combined with storage pockets. That said after removing everything from my Targus backpack I was quickly able to find a home for everything. I travel for work, so I like to have my bag organized in a way where I can quickly remove what I need for TSA, and get to my chargers/headphones while in the plane in a cramped window seat; this bag defiantly accommodates that. The Side pockets work great for drinks, gum, or sanitizer. The outer most pocket works well for items i need to grab quickly. The electronics pocket is great to have my two charging cable readily available , and I have good small pockets for batteries, a back up mouse and other random IT cords and connectors. In the middle pocket I can have two partitions for my gaming laptop with stand and charger, along with the separate partition for my work tablet with its mouse and charger.
For the computer packet, my Alienware M15 fits in there along with my surface laptop. I can also fit my Alienware X17 laptop in its cushioned case with the surface laptop.
For reference here are the X17 dimensions:
H: 20.90 mm (0.82 in.) for computers shipped with 360 Hz displays
W: 399.23 mm (15.72 in.)
L: 299.49 mm (11.79 in.)

As far as hauling everything around the airport, I am 6 feet tall and 210 lbs and I do not have any issues carrying the backpack around. The thing I really like is that i can sit the bag down and it stands up straight on its own. Also if I drop it too quickly, it is cushioned on the bottom, so I do not damage the electronics/ laptops within.

This is the most awesome backpack that I've ever owned. There are however a few minor quibbles:

1. The worst part of this backpack is the handle and because you pick up your backpack by the handle every day it is reminder of the fact that this one part sucks. Make it feel good in your hand, please.

2. The laptop area has a secondary tablet compartment. It is not tall enough for an iPad Pro. Increase the height by 3 inches and that is fixed.

3. Would be nice to have more pockets. Use the opposite front facing side of the bag to add a few more.

4. The key chain hook is in the wrong place. It is right over the business card pockets and sure to tear up cards. Just move it over to the other side. There is a zippered compartment there where it wont hurt anything. Also the hook could be a little better, perhaps deeper divot, so it will keep keys from falling off.

5. If you are shooting for perfection, then the zippers need to have separate pulls for right and left so the word "Everki" faces in. A really minor quibble but perfection should be the goal. Left and right facing zipper pulls will show the kind of attention to detail this bag deserves.

Overall a really awesome bag in so many ways. I'm very happy, but I hope Everki listens so they can make this bag perfect.

This was large purchase for me, and the most I have ever spent on a backpack, and I DO NOT regret the purchase! My husband convinced me to purchase a high quality backpack, so after 6 months+ of research to find the best backpack on the market, I found Everki was the best, and the Atlas fit my needs perfectly. I commute to work by train everyday and my Everki Atlas has been a GREAT friend to me. I was previously using a very old backpack and it was making my lower back hurt, after the first day of using my new Everki backpack my back felt better, and after a week I had no pain at ALL. If you are considering a new backpack, this one or any of the Everki backpacks would be awsome. If the price is holding you back don't let it, as you can see Everki has a lifetime warranty on all their backpacks, when you choose your Everki backpack, you are choosing outstanding quality and customer service, once you have used an Everki backpack, you will never go back to another brand!! I love my Everki backpack and would not trade it for the world!!!

I recently bought as Atlas. I was concerned as to which backpack to buy because I travel for boat deliveries carrying a Tough Book lap top which is thicker than an average lap top. I also have several other navigation and communication devices. Andrea at customer service went out of her way by mocking up my lap top with wooden blocks, inserting them into the various back packs I was considering, photographed them, then emailed me the photos. Because of this I was able to purchase the right one with confidence. I haven't dealt with customer service this good in a vey long time. I look forward to using my new bag soon. D Berg, New Zealand

This backpack is comfortable to wear, high quality, and has all the right types of storage to organize all my work items when I’m on the go. Highly recommend!

Absolutely the best backpack I have ever owned. This is my second Atlas, I gave my other 8 year old Atlas to my son for college. I used it everyday for 8 years and there is no tears and every zipper works just like the day I received it.

I am a full time nursing school student as well as full time healthcare employee. This backpack fits it all! I used to have to pick and choose what notebook, textbooks and binders I could pack each day, but not with this backpack it all fits! My iPad, my laptop, giant nursing school textbooks, stethoscope and much much more. The waterbottle pocket even fits my 36oz yeti waterbottle! I haven’t found a bad feature on this backpack, it is built with good quality to withstand it all!
