Lenovo Legion Active 17-inch Gaming Backpack - Black - Laptop Compartment - Durable & Water Resistant - Water Bottle Pocket

This bag is awesome! Traveled with it many times now and found it very effective for durability and carrying capacity. This bag has deep pockets, a super safe section for the laptop. I even accidentally had a water bottle leak in the bag (minor) and honestly this thing dried quick for being in use at an airport. Im pleasantly surprised. The hard part of the bag is easily scratched or scuffed, thats the only downside of owning this really sleek looking bag. I fit misc items, chargers, powerbrick, gaming handheld, and a laptop !

Pretty good overall. Most laptop bags wouldn't fit my Legion 7i Pro and I wanted something to protect it that I could also use for a few books etc. It keeps its formvery well and can stand upright on its own both when it is full and empty. That's also a tradeoff because it's form will naturally limit how much you can store in it, but it's big enough for a laptop, tablet, large textbook along with maybe a notebook and a bunch of smaller items. Laptop protection seems good but if you're want more drop protection you might want to stuff some additional padding in the bottom of the laptop pocket. If you're using it exclusively for trasporting your laptop and gaming accessories like headphones, charger, even keyboard etc. it will well appointed with dedicated pockets for PC peripherals and devices. The biggest downside IMO is that the zipper around the 'armor' outside pocket is a bit tight and you can to be careful to prevent it from snagging etc. This zipper issue is kind of annoying so I would give this a 4.5 stars if I could but it's not big enough of a deal to drop it to 4 stars. Overall this is a good verstatle bag for play/office/school as long as you dont' mind being intentional about what you will bring with you and not try to overstuff it with a ton of books etc. If you have a smaller laptop, there are a lot more options available on the market as far as premium tech/travel bags like swissgear etc. But for larger gaming laptops you are really restricted in your options.

I love my new Legion backpack! It's so lightweight, but is extremely durable and it's black design is 👌 it has so much space and I can easily use it for traveling purposes which is really nice.

Be careful if you have a cat. My kitten loves to play with things and especially dangling things such as zippers. Today she got extremely stuck in the zipper tag and started panicking and it looked like she was about to tear her claw off. I had to wrestle her to get ahold of her paw and even then took me over a minute to get it out. Very dangerous oversight in a design choice that adds nothing to the backpack. That being said I understand it's a niche error that I would have likely overlooked as well. I was able to remedy the issue (or at least I hope so), by wrapping electrical tape over the zipper hole. If Lenovo were to update this item, I would personally opt for an engraved logo instead of fully cutting through it. I would imagine that depending on the manufacturing process this could be a cheaper method of production although it would technically use more material so depending on if it's a cast piece or cut that would vary. Other than that, it's an excellent backpack with solid construction and layout for the price. The top connection for the straps seems a bit thin but it's a very wide flat rope(?) and I would trust one of them to support my body weight. No sign of wear/breakage a couple of weeks in. To add some more thoughts: I would honestly much rather have no branding on it as I don't like possible thieves knowing I have a gaming laptop in there. Even if MacBooks are typically the same price if not much more expensive, I have no doubt that this backpack's pointless branding makes it a prime target. I have placed stickers over the legion branding, but this last point may be a pointless concern.

I use this pack primarily to carry my work essentials into the office. The typical load consists of a 16" notebook with its power supply, a Logitech G502 mouse and mousepad, a TKL mechanical keyboard along with its USB-C cable, a Steelseries Arctis headset plus its receiver, a water bottle, pens, notepads and other assorted small sundries. Interior organization is great, with a nice padded section for the PC in the innermost layer, dedicated pockets for the headset, mouse and keyboard in the middle section and the outermost layer having tons of space and lots of loops and pockets for your small items in the rearmost section and a large general 'dump area' under the 'shell'. Overall comfort is outstanding. The straps are nicely padded with plenty of adjustment and the padding on the portion of the pack that sits against your back is soft and breathes well. The grab handle at the top is nice and chunky and like the rest of the pack feels secure and sturdy. The sleek overall design means you don't have to worry about the bag snagging on anything and the combination of ample padding and the semi-rigid shell provides peace of mind when you're chucking it around - it wears and travels extremely well. After well over a year of regular hard use, there's a couple of scuffs on the shell, but otherwise the pack feels as good as new. The only gripe I could offer would be the fiddliness of the stowable water bottle pocket, but that's hardly worth docking a star for given the durability and thoughtful design of the rest of the package. At this pack's price point or even significantly above it, it's a standout offering that's definitely worth a look.

I travel full time for work, and bring along all my gaming essentials (which is a lot). Comfortably fits my 16 inch laptop, 65% keyboard, mouse, Lenovo Legion Go, and all needed chargers plus more. Protective front cover does its job, while still maintaining some flexibility. Bottom of bag is heavily reinforced, and plenty of padding inside to protect against drops. Straps feel well built, and are comfortable. Fits great under seat on airplanes, even fully loaded. Honestly surprised at how much I can fit in a relatively small footprint. Overall, extremely happy with this purchase. Price is fair for its high quality and being a Lenovo product with solid customer support.

Very nice and sleek. Great quality

**UPDATE backpack went on sale and purchased another one. Stand behind my original review. ** I have a plethora of backpacks from Adidas, Columbia, Marmot, etc. Carry two to work every day. THIS BLOWS EVERY BACKPACK OUT OF THE WATER!!!! For 70? I pray they never discontinue this backpack. I will be buying an additional 3+ for future use. The main laptop slot has soft padding, back of the backpack has nice thick padding placed between your body and the laptop on top of it. Super secure and padded protection. Inspires confidence. Holds an MSI GE67HX with no problems. Tons of room. I wish the Ipad slot that is padded was a little bigger for universal purposes, as you could fit another laptop/larger size tablet back there with no problems. The main opening is huge and has a folder slit, that is where I place my work laptop (HP 360 or Asus G15). Fits two laptop chargers at the bottom with ease with tons of room to spare. Holds a 65% keyboard and case and a Bluetooth mouse in the individual pockets with ease. I don't utilize the headphone velcro strap but it is a nice addition to have if needed. I do use the pocket that the headphones would sit in to keep it secure from swinging freely. Screwdriver, bits case, etc. Could also hang an accessory case from the strap with all your external drives, flashes, etc. This bag literally leaves all options open for your convenience. The front slot has a cellphone pocket, 3 pen pockets, and a miscellaneous pocket facing you when opened. On the side facing away from you has 2 nice elastic pockets. Think cellphone pockets in backpacks are dumb unless you have a work phone and even then. I place my hubs in the facing pockets and cords in the other ones. I have 2 accessory cases in the open area of it. Great Room management + a plethora of options and a sturdy design that doesn't fold on you if partially/fully emptied. I could go on forever about this backpack. The price is fantastic. If I could have fit a larger tablet (Microsoft surface) in the iPad slit, man, that would have been icing on the cake. As if I had made the backpack myself. Lenovo needs to invest more in this field as they have the right idea and everything needed in a bag lockdown. R&D department = A++
