When unpacking this backpack seemed to run a bit small, but it is really super spacious, which was the intention for me. There are three compartments and a lot of pockets to store smaller items. The special thing is that the backpack offers that space and so many compartments / pockets, but does not feel like a big bag. In addition, it is also comfortable when it is only lightly loaded. The compartments and pockets take up very little space (they are flat and flexible), so you can flexibly choose how you fill the backpack. If you want, you choose to use only one large compartment (eg to transport a jacket, sweater, scarf, towel, ...) and you do not lose a cm3 of space. In addition, it has proven to be particularly light and yet sturdy.
Only downside: I expected a belly strap, especially since you can load this backpack quite heavily. That would improve the wearing comfort even more.
With me it typically houses the following: A thick, heavy 15.4" work laptop (but is roomy enough for a 17") A 13.3" ultrabook. Power supply for these laptops Two folders A thick A4 notebook Bottle of water Stationery, wallet, small electronics items jacket spare jersey And then there is still plenty of room, for example for a packed lunch and some spare clothes.

General: This bag is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a bag that would protect my laptop well against the natural elements (rain, wind) and myself (shocks) and it does. I rarely found a backpack that I liked that was big enough for a 17" laptop. From this size it is apparently assumed that you usually opt for such a shoulder bag. For years I also walked around like this, but it just isn't practical, and certainly not if you are going to work by bike.
Laptop storage space: So, since I own a laptop with a 17" screen, this size was a must anyway. The compartment is spacious enough to store it in, without pulling and pushing on the edges of the laptop. Also an old 17" laptop of up to 5 cm high fits in it.
The other subjects: The second compartment is really spacious, much more spacious than you might suspect at first. it will fit at least 2 2-litre bottles, with room to spare.
The front, third compartment is rather small. I keep tissues in it. Inside the two rear compartments you have even smaller compartments that seem to serve exactly to store an adapter or mouse, so that is so handy.
At the very top there is another compartment, especially intended for storing your sunglasses. Fun. However, I fear damage to the glasses, because my glasses box just doesn't fit in it. So far, however, my fears have turned out to be completely unfounded.
View: The finish is sober with a small red accent on the outside. Inside, it's the standard grey-blue-green-ish that you find in many bags that sets the tone.
wearing comfort: The shoulder straps are wide and thickly padded, so that's great in terms of wearing comfort. It also fits well on the full back. So good, that it sometimes warms my own back.
Service: When I received my backpack, there was a wrong stitching on it, just between the handle. I immediately reported this with my mobile phone via Facebook and less than half an hour later I received a message back: mail received with all shipping dates. Sent it back and 2 days later I received a new one, and again via Facebook the question whether everything went well. What a service!!!!! I really can't say anything wrong about this company, never been dissatisfied.

The Samsonite GuardIT fits my 17.3" laptop and my tablet with all accessories and there is still room for my lunch box and some classifiers. Sturdy quality, nice finish that one would expect from Samsonite.
