The ScanSmart feature allows you to go through security without any hassle, and also gives you the peace of mind that your laptop is still safe, surrounded by padding.<\/p>\n<p>The key to this area is that ONLY the laptop can be in the Scan Smart compartment, so make sure you do that before flying. The backpack comes with several compartments, each enhancing the organization of your work-related items such as binders, pens, etc. However, after testing the product myself I cannot fully recommend buying it.<\/p>\n<p>It is not made of the best material, and the zippers can easily be damaged. It feels like the zippers may have been made too thick for this type of backpack and it may be a manufacturing error. The smallest pocket, that can hold numerous pens and pencils, does not open as wide as it should, causing a hard time to fish out any items you put in there. While it does advertise that 17\u201d laptops can be used with it, it is definitely a really tight squeeze, and if you do have a laptop on the larger side I\u2019d recommend buying a different bag.<\/p>\n<p>Purchasing a laptop bag is an incredibly important decision that most people overlook. It is the only way to keep your laptop, which is usually a large financial purchase, safe from harm, and worth your money. I do not fully recommend the <a class=\"easyazon-link\" data-cart=\"n\" data-cloak=\"n\" data-identifier=\"B002OHDIWY\" data-locale=\"US\" data-localize=\"n\" data-popups=\"n\" data-tag=\"mlbag-20\" href=\"?tag=mlbag-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">SwissGear SA1908 Laptop Computer Backpack<\/a>, unless you are a frequent flier who is looking for the easiest bag to get through the security check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this day and age, almost everyone owns a laptop.
