But after having this bag for a few months, it's quite clear how well thought out the design is. The padding is solid and it's quite roomy - I can fit all my laptop peripherals as well a few extra items with no trouble, and the large pouches on the side can actually fit my large 40oz water bottle, a rarity in my expericne! Easy access phone compartment is another great addition. Lots of little pouches and separators help you keep things organized. The laptop compartment has double zippers and is large and well padded. Two loops at the top give you the option of having a thick handle to carry it with or a small handle to hang it from, and of course the luggage loop so that you can attach to a suitcase handle. Clearly someone put some time into developing a backpack that's well equipped for just about any scenario.
Perfect for travel or just going to the coffee shop!
I had used Tectonic 1 for 4 years, through my college, camping and though it was little heavy, it protected my laptop and gave ample space for other stuff. It was very durable. Never had any complaints. The adjustable holder in the laptop section of Tectonic 1 is not seen in Tectonic 2. I've 15.6" laptop and both series are perfect. 17" fits too, unless the laptop is too bulky! Tectonic 2 has more number of pockets than 1. I feel the volume of tectonic 1 is more than 2. The major difference you'll notice is weight of the backpacks. Tectonic 2 is light weight. The shoulder supports are convenient in Tectonic 1. I prefer Tectonic 1 in design/look. I'm not sure how well this backpack can hold. Hope it's as good as Tectonic 1. I've to wait and see! Until then I'll leave it 5 stars.

As a teacher this allows me to carry my laptop and a host of other essentials for my lessons. I highly recommend this bag.
It’s comfortable to use, padding makes a big difference compared to the Ogio bag I’m retiring after 10 years. Tons of compartments, which are well thought of and useful. Subtle orange details spice it up without taking away the professional demeanor from it.
All things considered, it’s a compelling buy. This backpack will mainly serve for office duty and I believe it fits the purpose quite well. A small portion of the front pocket has a sewing or stitching issue. But that may be a seller issue.
Regardless, I’m very happy with it and would buy again.
EDIT:
After a few months of purchase, my thoughts are still the same. Already traveled with it and it was a good companion. Holding up well so far. Still satisfied with purchase.

I have been waiting to post a review about the Samsonite Tectonic second generation backpack for a little while, but I had to field test this first and help customers looking for a large backpack to find what they need with all honesty. It has simply put been the best backpack I have ever had, I owned the first generation backpack, but was disappointed in that because when set down to stand on its own it would keep falling, but now with better more sturdier materials this backpack is surely a milestone in improved quality and overall performance.
It’s larger
The water bottle holders on the sides have been improved. Unlike the annoying red strap holder on the first Gen backpack
Better laptop only sleeve in which come in two sizes to match the size of a laptop from 15'' to 18'' laptops.
The inside pockets are more suede and pose less scratch, chances to devices and objects.
The backpack straps are vastly improved and much more comfortable than the 1st Gen Tectonic.
Overall, it truly is the best laptop backpack I have ever owned.
I hope this first review has helped you in deciding to buy or look into this great Laptop bag. Samsonite Tectonic 2 Large Backpack Grey

This is feather light, and has every pocket I need.
Like all Samsonite packs, the straps suck, but they are not Backpacking packs, they are for travel and commuting, and the straps are fine for that.
It's not the most fashionable pack, just black nylon, but it's not s fashion back pack, just utility. But it has a very high quality feel and look, It's very black if you know what I mean. I got the black on black one.
It's big, not sure if it fits a 17.3 laptop, I think it says it fits most 17inch laptops? Mine is 15.6" so no prob.
I need a big pack in the winter, extra everything as I live in Canada and it gets cold and rainy. Also this thing is pretty waterproof I'm sure, it's really heavy nylon web.
I like the side pockets, a commuter bag needs open side pockets, no zippers, as water bottles, umbrellas, coffee travelers etc, need to go in and out seemlessly, one handed. They still need to be tight enough to not let said items fly out when running for a bus, cross light. It's a fine line, but it's really really important!
That's about it, the glasses compartment could be wider at the mouth, as I put my whole glasses case in, and it fits, but I have to drop it in sideways, and then it can sit flat, so no biggee.
Expensive.. I got one on the warehouse store for less, $60 or something, very happy at that price. I don't think I would pay $200 for it.
But it is an Endgame Backpack. There is not much beyond this as far as a large winter commuter.
This backpack is well-made. The inside liner is soft cloth which is safe for device screens, and outside shell is some kind of sturdy nylon material (not sure if it is waterproof). The stitches are good and zippers are easy to use too.
The only concern is the very outside pocket has no cap/sealing at the top and no draining holes at the bottom. So I am not sure if it will contain some water after a heavy rain, but so far so good.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a backpack to carry large screen laptops for daily work or travel.
