Gorgeous backpack, Great protection
By Princess
This Belkin Dash Backpack was more expensive than some other bags I was looking at, but once I got it in the mail, I knew I made the right choice. This bag looks great and is made really, really well.
The backpack is pretty simple in styling, it's deep gray and black with -- thankfully-- no ugly logos or netted fabric. It's got a non-skid black rubberized bottom which is very cool. I love that I can get away with using this for work, as well as hiking around town. This bag is seriously stylish.
I live in a rainy place, so real weather protection of my laptop is paramount. This backpack has kept everything inside perfectly protected, even at the zippers and seams. It is made very well, such quality.
The storage in this backpack is a huge draw. I can carry so much besides my laptop, like my papers, books and a lunch. I can put my wallet pocket in the zippered top pocket for easy access, or if I'm feeling paranoid, I can hide it in one of the inside security pockets. A bonus is that it's got a MP3 player holder in the backpack strap (w/ a magnet for ear buds). The straps are padded and wide, so they're comfortable and don't dig into my shoulders. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something like this.
I even got a 17" laptop in here, even though it's made for 16", though it was tight. The bag has so much space & pockets, you can't go wrong. It's expensive but think about what you're lugging around. This backpack is so nice I even use it when I'm not carrying around my laptop.

Nice Backpack for traveling use
By Gadgetman
This backpack is pretty well designed for traveling use with a larger size laptop.
What I like about this product :
- Padded laptop holder which could easily fit a larger sized 14" to 15" laptop
- Extra padding on the back for added comfort and better protection of the laptop
- Spacious front compartment which can hold 4-5 books
- Lots of extra zippered pockets (3 on the outside and 2 inside) for holding smaller items
- True water resistant which is great for traveling in all weather conditions
What could be better :
- The shoulder strap could use more padding for comfort
- Lack of water bottle holder
- Even though the product stated that it can hold a 16" laptop. It would be a very tight fit particularly for laptops with protruded extended-life battery,

By Robert Haven
This backpack is pretty amazing, with lots of quality in its design and construction. I do a lot of traveling and I always take a backpack for all the things I want close-at-hand (laptop, books, crossword puzzles, paperwork, snacks, iPod, headphones, chargers, and lots of little things). For 20 years, I've used the same laptop backpack and have never seen one better enough to make me upgrade. But I have now moved all my "stuff" into this Belkin pack.
The construction is excellent, with heavy-duty zippers, good padding, strong stitching, good materials, and so on. The bottom is extra-strong and rubberized so if you set the pack down even where it is wet, the contents will be OK. My only (slight) complaint on construction is that the shoulder straps could use just a little more padding for extra comfort.
The design of this bag is quite excellent. I count 7 separate zippered compartments, from a few small ones to a couple medium sized ones to the 2 large ones that hold your laptop and other larger items. Inside the largest compartment are 2 full-size separators so that it holds not only your 16" laptop but also a large number of folders and papers. The next largest compartment is roomy with a large flat bottom. This will hold a hardback book, large headphones in a case, all your chargers, and lots of other items. There are lots of sleeves inside for holding pens/pencils, business-cards, and other small items. There's also a zippered net compartment inside for small odds and ends. Among the various smaller compartments is a zippered "security" compartment on the part that is worn against your back, for holding important items (passport, etc.) that would be difficult to steal while the backpack is being worn. Several more small zippered compartments are available for items such as sunglasses (at the top of the pack where they will be safer), and other small items you want to find easily.
On each of the shoulder straps are little slip-in holders. The one on the right is stretchable and I was able to put either my iPod or my iPhone into it. Magnets are cleverly positioned higher on that same strap and will hold your earbuds to the strap while they remain plugged into your MP3 player (but I haven't tried actually using those). The little sleeve on the left shoulder strap probably holds a smaller iPod Nano. One trouble with the iPod holder is that you can't see the screen or the controls, so you have to struggle a bit to remove it from the tightly-stretched pocket in order to change the music. I'll probably continue to keep my iPod on by belt.
Another feature that is hinted at by the Belkin tag attached to the new backpack is the ability to lengthen one of the shoulder straps (the left one, preferably) so that the pack can be carried almost like a shoulder bag, with easy access to the laptop. It's funny that the designers of the bag surely had specific uses in mind for many of the design features, but there is no information that highlights those features either (currently) here on the Amazon page, or with the pack.
About the only thing I would change on this backpack would be to replace the two outermost small compartment with a single one that is a little bigger. As it is, I have too much stuff in the one 2nd-largest compartment and I have to dig around too much to find things that are sitting at the bottom.
This bag is impressive in all aspects of its materials, construction, and design. It should meet the needs of just about every traveler that needs to carry a laptop (especially one with a large 16" screen) and paperwork and lots of travel accessories. It's also very good looking.
