Product Description
Can you imagine a world without backpacks? Neither can we. Yet it wasn’t long ago that they were strictly outdoor gear. One fall in the late sixties, the JanSport team heard that students were using the brand’s small cross country daypacks to cross campus instead. It made sense with comfortable padded straps, and easy access front panel opening and catch resistant nylon zippers the bags were just as great for carrying books as they were for carrying gear.

JanSport Antics Series Firewire Computer Backpack

I had a Jansport pack which I dragged all over the world for 12 years. It finally needed some serious repairs, and I sent it in. Apparently they no longer repaired that model, and sent me a Firewire instead.
First, the pack is made for midgets. It is simply not long enough for my back. I’m 6′ and don’t have unusual proportions, so this is kind of disturbing.
Second, the weird laptop pocket in the main compartment is an incredible design flaw. The rigid support at the bottom is about two inches above the bottom of the backpack, so if you load the pack, whatever you put in can’t ride against your lower back, and effectively pulls the backpack into a curve so you feel the very straight, rather uncomfortable stays at the bottom of the laptop pocket, and the top of the shoulder straps.
It’s simply not an acceptable pack for day to day use as it’s designed.

I’ve owned Jansport backpacks in the past, and while this is a decent enough bag, it’s definitely not up to past quality. The material is thinner, the zippers are not as heavy-duty. And what’s the deal, Jansport? Did you run out of zipper pulls? Half the zippers are missing them (despite what the picture shows)! Cheap!
On the plus side, there are plenty of internal and external pockets, my large laptop fits without a fight, and it’s well-padded.

I have an XPS GEN 2 Inspiron which is 15.5″ long. I had an older version of this backpack that the XPS would just fit into snugly but, alas, the zipper teeth eventually broke off. I was concerned that this backpack might be too small and after first slipping the laptop in… it didn’t. But I discovered that theres a removable cushion liner at the bottom of the laptop slot (attached with Velcro), removing that gave me an extra half an inch and voila, the laptop fits (albeit snugly again). The laptop isn’t completely unprotected at the bottom, there’s a hard plastic shell there as well and the snug fit keeps the laptop from sliding around. 15.5″ is max though…those with a larger laptop (say the newer 16″ wide Dell XPS latops) will probably want to seek another backpack.

It’s really a perfect bag for students. My friends and I bought 3 of it. You can carry your notebook with you because the bag has a cushion in the bottom of the bag, and you may also carry as many books as you wan. Great choice!

I bought this backpack when I wanted to have a new bag for my laptop. I got a good JanSport Backpack for my niece a few month ago and she liked that one, so I chose JanSport again. It’s out of question that JanSport is generally a good brand.
But this particular backpack is really poorly made. The texture is made by some cheap materials, and definitely looks not as good as the picture shown on the website. There are not many compartments in the bag with poor paddings, and the space is not as big as that was described at all. Nevertheless, the laptop sleeve is too wide for my 15′ widescreen notebook. So I bought another backpack of Swissgear this weekend when I saw it on sale with only one third price of this JanSport. And the quality of my new bag is Much Much Much BETTER than this one.
Don’t buy this backpack!
