5/5 for holding monster laptops (and a regular laptop, and a tablet, and everything else)
Pros: - Enormous size, not even comparable to the Targus and Swiss Gear options. This could hold a 19" laptop easily, whereas my Swiss Gear Blue Ibex's zipper was strained trying to hold either of my 17" ASUS ROG / Sager laptops. - Holds a huge Sager desktop replacement / gaming beast, HP Spectre x360, the biggest battery RAVpower makes (plus all the adapters), two 330-watt Clevo PSUs, the HP's PSU, full sized gaming mouse, metal mouse pad, external hard drives, baggies of every kind of cable and adapter, flashlight, a full toiletries bag, and fistfuls of odds and ends packed into more baggies - with room to spare if I wanted to cram in more stuff and didn't care about blocked access to things in lower pockets. Watch the video to see how much stuff you can cram into this monster. - Includes rain-resistant cover and a solid-feeling toiletries bag. - Tons of pockets of all shapes and sizes. - Velour-like main compartments for laptops/tablets. - Surprisingly lighter than the Swiss Gear, though this seems to come at the cost of thinner material. Cons: - Arrived with minor loose threads / frayed edges on some pockets. - No pockets on the straps, unlike the Swiss Gear I had been using. - Doesn't have the thick, reinforced feel of my Swiss Gear (the Swiss Gear had more reinforced stitching, rubberized bottom, metal strap, and overall thicker material). - Overall feels like it might fray or otherwise sustain damage over time more easily than the Swiss Gear it's replacing. - Overall feels like it doesn't protect the cargo quite as well as the more hefty Swiss Gear. - It's enormous, about the size of a human torso, so you need to be aware of what is behind you (also you look kind of goofy wearing this huge backpack, at least if you are 5'6" and 150 lbs). - There isn't a lot of reinforcement to make the compartments maintain their shape. This means that stuffed upper-level pockets can block access to lower-level pockets. Some compartments can get warped when the compartments/pockets on the other side of the dividers are stuffed, preventing you from using all the pockets/compartments. This mostly affects smaller pockets. - Not as many convenient side pockets as the Swiss Gear, and no "water bottle" or "phone" holders. While I had serious doubts about the quality of this backpack at first, it has replaced my Sager-carrying Swiss Gear Blue Ibex, as well as the 15" laptop bag I was using to carry my lighter HP Spectre. It doesn't maintain its shape as well as the Swiss Gear, but it's the only laptop bag that can hold all this stuff while still being a carry-on that's TSA-friendly and technically fits under an airplane seat. This is not a backpack for normal people with average needs, carrying one notebook. This makes the Swiss Gear "lol are you going camping later" Blue Ibex look normal. However, if you're the kind of person who needs to carry a gaming notebook, a work laptop, a tablet, and all the supporting accessories with you, this is a single-backpack solution. If you are a DJ/VJ or someone who needs to carry both a monster laptop and a bunch of control surfaces, this would be a good choice. If your needs are more reasonable, the Swiss Gear Blue Ibex costs less and has superior build quality / ease of access. If you need something unusual, the Titan is for you. EDIT: I've had this backpack for about a year now, and I am upgrading it to a 5/5. It's been with me on many road trips and cross-country flights, being stuffed into overhead bins and under seats, but it has held up so well it looks like new. I ran into another gentleman at the airport who had this same backpack, though much more distressed than mine. He let me know that he has been travelling with his Titan for about 3 years, and while it looked like it had been dragged through a firefight in a swamp that was on fire, it didn't appear to have any actual structural issues or lost functionality. I have hung this backpack, filled to its limit with multiple laptops and changes of clothes that in total weighed about 40 lbs, on the airport restroom coat hangers more than once, and it doesn't seem to have been stressed in the least. It doesn't have the reinforced body of the Ibex, and it doesn't hold its shape like the Ibex (base isn't a molded rubber/pleather affair like the Ibex), but the quality is much better than the thin plastic shell implies. EDIT 2019: Over 3 years later, this backpack has held up well. The stitching is solid, and nothing has broken in any way. The "frays" were just cosmetic imperfections. This backpack has survived flights on little pond-skippers with tiny luggage compartments that scrape everything up, and has been to France, the Netherlands, Czechia, and all over the USA. Zero regrets about this purchase. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

my favorite was SwissGear
I am a busy executive who travels all over the world and I typically go through a backpack about once a year. I've tried them all and until I bought this one, my favorite was SwissGear. I decided to spend more and I looked around for two months before selecting the Everki Titan. I DID NOT receive any discount for this review and it's truly an honest evaluation of the product. To begin, I need a pack that can carry an 18.5 inch laptop and an iPad at the same time and still have room for misc electronics, documents, water bottle, medicines, and more. I am hard on backpacks and they go through a lot of airports and get thrown around a bit, so I wanted something rugged and well made. Over the past 25 years, I have learned a lot about what makes a great backpack, and I'm going to break it down for you here. 1. Large enough to carry a lot, but not too large for overhead bins on smaller regional jets. This one is perfect. 2. TSA friendly so I can quickly unzip the bag and display both my PC and my iPad. Perfect! The TSA guy was impressed with this bag. 3. Comfortable so that I can carry 25 pounds of stuff and not feel beat up. No problem; this bag is amazingly comfortable. 4. Lots of pockets and compartments. This bag rocks! It has so many pockets and compartments and it will impress you. 5. Padded enough to protect my computers, but not too much added weight. Perfect again! Really well designed. 6. Pocket that is not too easy to find where I can store my passport and plenty of cash. Done deal! 7. Support straps that make sure everything stays snug in its place. The front straps are truly amazing and well designed. 8. A quick pocket that will hold a candy bar, newspaper, or other items I want when I get to my seat on the plane. Perfect! 9. Heavy duty zippers. This is the first bag I have seen that got it right for under $500. I am blown away by their quality. 10. Balanced design that makes it easy to carry a lot of items without uneven pressure points on my back. Perfect! 11. Heavy duty fabric that can take a beating, resist rain, and last for years. Yep. This bag even comes with a rain cover! 12. A handle that is comfortable without looking like a tow rope. Again, perfect and truly well-designed. 13. The ability to expand it if needed to hold clothing for a quick overnight trip. Absolutely. No more extra carry on bag. 14. Stylish without looking like a college bag for a roadie in the band. Looks as good as a Tumi. 15. Side pockets that can carry pens, wallet, bottles of water. The pocket even has a built-in bungee to hold larger bottles in place! 16. The ability to set the back upright and not have it constantly falling over. Based on my loading of it, this has been perfect. 17. Belly strap to hold it in place if I take it hiking and want to make sure it is secure. I'll sneak in a hike when in Europe or Colorado. 18. Small top pocket that's perfect for train tickets, wallet, passport, cash, watch, etc. Very well done on this bag. 19. Access hole for headphone cord so my iPhone is inside the bag when I am tired and on a 3 hour train ride across Europe. 20. Ring on the front to hold my extra water bottle when on a longer trip such as a 6 hour ferry crossing in Asia. 21. Extra stiching all around the bag to ensure strength. This bag is the best I have ever seen. I rarely write a review on Amazon. However, as someone who has invented a number of products, I think it's important to call out a vendor who did more than just create an average product for a quick buck. These guys had to have put years of thought into how to build a world-class backpack, and they must have done a lot of traveling, or put together a focus group of travelers. In the past, I would start to see backpacks coming apart after a year to 18 months of heavy travel. I wouldn't be surprised to see this one last for 10 years and I hope it does. I may even buy another one and put it in the closet for the future. Hopefully, this company is doing well and will be around for a long time. They have a loyal customer who will be back again. The price for this backpack is spot on. If you're thinking about buying something cheaper, don't waste your time and money. This product is a great choice! I want to personally thank their design team for giving me a pack that will make my life so much easier when traveling around the world. GREAT JOB!!!

Awesome bag
This is without doubt the best backpack bag I have seen yet. One of the biggest issues I have had in the past is: Quality. From the zippers to the stitching to the material, everything rocks. Pros: - When I grab this bag and pick it up, this thing feels solid even when packed full of gear. I do not feel like the strap is going to give or that I need to even "be careful". This is really solid and I love it. - The zippers are way bigger than any Samsonite or Targus I have ever owned and I have gone through quite a few in my years. They feel rugged and much more industrial than the fore mentioned. Because of zipper damage in the past, I have become weary and still make sure i watch what i am doing but they feel good. This will be something to look at after some good usage. I bought an Atlas from Everki two weeks after this for my work laptop and they use the same ones there. - Tons of room and the added organizational space I wished the Atlas had as well. Not only do you get the "business" section for pens, cards and small items, you get the position right behind it with larger storage places as well. You can fit larger documents, passports, tickets, personal items and whatever else will fit. The pictures on the add showed a mouse and something else in them but I did not use them for that. I have seen no other bag with this much room and storage design. - Stability - this bag will just sit straight up whether it leans against something or not. That may change as the bag gets more wear in time but i like the fact that it doesn't fall over every time you take your hand off of it. - The designed this will a lot of little add on items that add to the value: - The straps allow you to grab a small adjustment loop after you throw this on your back to adjust how high or low it sits against your form. Some people may like a lower riding bag or be of higher height; the bag allows you to adjust for difference of want or need. - There are two small straps that come around the front to clip in to the front of the bag to provide stability. If you are packing this thing yet it still seems to somehow shift items inside, these straps can be tightened to make sure the sandwich effect keeps everything where you want while making the bag as a whole more solid. I like the way they hide the strap connectors inside a little cover so they do not get caught on anything. - The top pouch by the handle has a hole for you to let your ear buds access a player that resides in the pouch but being fully concealed and zipped up. I personally do not use that, but some may think it is awesome. Another add on they didn't HAVE to put in. - One utility ring on the front for those quick clip, always used items and a key clip inside one of the organization areas. The ring is awesome as i always use carabiners for just about everything it seems. The key clip is ok if you do not use super industrial rings (thicker) and you do not have 4 million keys. Too many and you might smash something. - Although I have not used it, they provide a "rain coat" for your bag. Nifty. There is a small pouch at the bottom of the first chamber that has this inside, zipped up. Unroll it, set the bottom of the bag in and then wrap it around. Two small straps to make sure it stays on and there is added protection from water. Cons: - I would use price but I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and this is worth every penny to me but we are all different. You decide that one. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a MSI GT72 Dominator Laptop in there will a ton of other electronics including headphones and all your gaming needs. External drives, iPad in the slot in front of the pc (made for pads) and cables of every type you name it. I would buy another without batting an eye from the first impression. How it stands up a year from now will be telling.

Nothing New to add... this thing is great!
I',m not going to blaze a new trail here. There are 500 some-odd reviews of this thing, but I guess I'll add my 2 cents. I got this as an early birthday present from the wife, and man! What a nice bag! I'm coming from a Swiss Tech Ibex, and as good as that bag is, this is better. It's got the one killer feature that the Ibex didn't: It opens 180 degrees so that I hopefully won't have to take my laptop out of the bag at airports. That's a huge time saver when we travel. But that's not all. While that was the main draw, this bag is chock full of nice little features that make me pretty certain that the people at Everki put some serious thought into this bag. The "rain jacket" for instance. It probably cost them about $1 to add that to the final production cost of the bag.. but oh so welcome. The same goes for the gear bag they also include. Both are very nice additions. Then there's the velvety lining in the Laptop, tablet, and phone sections of this bag. Nice! The bottle holder pocket is greatness, with its lanyard to keep the bottle in place. And oh the pockets! I went from a fairly messy, stuffed Ibex to a nice neat Titan with plenty of room to spare. The Ibex is a big bag. Well, correction: I thought it was a big bag. But this thing dwarfs it in capacity. It's only a little taller and doesn't seem much thicker, but it certainly organizes so much better that it's like having a bag that's twice the size. I have a 17" laptop. It's an HP Envy. The darned thing is big enough for a fill sized keyboard, and has 3 hard drives inside it. That gives you an idea of the size. It looks a little lost in the laptop sleeve. This thing swallows it. I could put my old Lenovo W700 in here, I think. (Go look THAT monster up... 10lb laptop) The construction is really good... possibly better than any bag I've ever owned. It's comfortable on my shoulders (And I'm a fireplug of a man) and most importantly, comes off of my shoulders easily. That's not always the case with other backpacks, as I have to struggle to get out of them. Unless you just need the room, you might want to look at the Atlas. It's not quite as big as this thing, and should have the same quality of workmanship. But if you're a pack rat like me, and feel the need to bring everything including the kitchen sink along when you travel, then this might be the perfect bag for you! I'll be traveling out of town this fall, and might not even take luggage, because I'm pretty sure I can fit a weekend's worth of clothing, my camera, and my CPAP in this without over stuffing it. Note: I have nothing to say about the long-term durability, as I just got this, but I will say that it looks tough as nails.

Both are very nice additions. Then there's the velvety lining in the Laptop, tablet, and phone sections of this bag. Nice! The bottle holder pocket is greatness, with its lanyard to keep the bottle in place. And oh the pockets! I went from a fairly messy, stuffed Ibex to a nice neat Titan with plenty of room to spare. The Ibex is a big bag. Well, correction: I thought it was a big bag. But this thing dwarfs it in capacity. It's only a little taller and doesn't seem much thicker, but it certainly organizes so much better that it's like having a bag that's twice the size. I have a 17" laptop. It's an HP Envy. The darned thing is big enough for a fill sized keyboard, and has 3 hard drives inside it. That gives you an idea of the size. It looks a little lost in the laptop sleeve. This thing swallows it. I could put my old Lenovo W700 in here, I think. (Go look THAT monster up... 10lb laptop) The construction is really good... possibly better than any bag I've ever owned. It's comfortable on my shoulders (And I'm a fireplug of a man) and most importantly, comes off of my shoulders easily. That's not always the case with other backpacks, as I have to struggle to get out of them. Unless you just need the room, you might want to look at the Atlas. It's not quite as big as this thing, and should have the same quality of workmanship. But if you're a pack rat like me, and feel the need to bring everything including the kitchen sink along when you travel, then this might be the perfect bag for you! I'll be traveling out of town this fall, and might not even take luggage, because I'm pretty sure I can fit a weekend's worth of clothing, my camera, and my CPAP in this without over stuffing it. Note: I have nothing to say about the long-term durability, as I just got this, but I will say that it looks tough as nails.
