OVERPRICED.
This is a 16-inch backpack designed for people who travel by air and need to get through security quickly. It has a special flat compartment that holds a 13-inch laptop and tablet and opens completely so you can scan them without removing them from the bag at TSA checkpoints.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The back panel is designed to breathe and the shoulder straps are padded, which matters if you're wearing this daily or for long stretches.
- It has an RFID-protected pocket for cards and ID, plus a file sleeve in the main compartment, so it handles both travel and everyday organization.
- At 2 pounds empty, it's relatively light for a laptop backpack, but the tradeoff is that it only fits up to a 13-inch laptop, so larger devices won't work.
As of Aug 19, the SwissGear 1900 Mini ScanSmart 16-Inch Backpack is overpriced at $85 — versus a $67.63 typical price and a $40.43 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
