If you regularly carry a laptop for school or work, the Case Logic Security Friendly Backpack is a good option. This pack accommodates a 16-inch or smaller laptop in its own padded compartment, in addition to a large main section, a zippered front pocket, and an interior pocket for folders and notebooks. Reviewers say a main benefit of the Case Logic backpack is that it's so easy to take through airport security. The pack unzips in the center so the laptop compartment can lay flat, so you may not need to remove your laptop from the bag (although TSA regulations can change at any time). Users also say there are plenty of pockets to keep supplies organized. Since there's so much padding, the capacity is smaller than a regular adult-size backpack -- only 1,650 cubic inches. In addition, many packs come with a lifetime warranty, so the 25-year warranty for the Case Logic laptop backpack seems a little short by comparison. A few users also think the design is boring. If you want a more stylish-looking pack, the High Sierra Access (*Est. $70) also gets good reviews.

The best review of the Case Logic Security Friendly Laptop Backpack comes from PCMag.com, a site that posts detailed single-product reviews of technology products. The review is thorough and reflects real-world testing of the backpack. There are also a good number of owner-written reviews at Amazon.com and eBags.com.
