Review: Rivacase 8160 16" Laptop Backpack

What is it:

It is a laptop bag that holds up to 16” laptops. This goes inside a padded compartment inside.

It is made of waterproof material which means that it can be used in the unpredictable British weather, with all its rain.

It has extra compartments and pockets to organize your extra stuff. Plenty of various sections inside that means you can organize your items as cleanly and compactly as possible.

What sets this apart from other bags:

It is made of waterproof material. That is a big plus, specially for people who always carry their precious devices in their bags and don’t want to change bags or bring out a protective cover every time it rains.

What is amazing about this, though?

It does actually pack in a wow factor, which you don’t see in most laptop bags, not in the description of this bag. It is how thin this bag is in its complete form when compared to normal laptop backpacks. Granted, this means that you may not be able to pack in as much as you would in the usual bag, but if you want to be portable and light and want to be mobile, this is definitely the bag to go.

As you can see, this bag (right) compared to my usual backpack (left) is about one third or even one fourth the thickness. This makes it the very ideal bag for transport and mobility.

Buying information:

This bag can be found at the GearZap website under the MacBook Accessories section:

This bag retails for £49.95.

Verdict

As far as laptop bags go, this is quite good. It gives you protection, mobility, ruggedness, comfort, and somehow it manages all that despite being one third of the regular width of the bags available on the market. Definitely the new laptop bag of choice for me.
