Osprey Arcane Large Laptop Backpack

I was expecting that it will have more space. The bags looks really nice and quality product from Osprey.

Use for work daily holds a decent amount of stuff lunch,computer, water bottle and a sweatshirt. And fits in a small locker.

I’ve owned many different kinds of travel backpacks. Although my luggage collection tends to be quite nice, my travel backpacks tend to be of the lower-end variety. I’ve heard great things about this brand, so I decided to give this a try. Here are some thoughts after a few daily uses along with a short weekend trip: • Size: This is labeled as a large backpack. While it is certainly long and wide enough to fit a 15.6” laptop, the depth is not quite what I imagined as it is built to be a little flatter than most large backpacks. • Pockets/Compartments: This is a fairly simple backpack when it comes to pockets/compartments. The front contains just one compartment. While it may seem that the front pocket extends to the bottom of the bag, it actually only goes about 6” down, so it’s designed to hold smaller items only. The interior has a three layers of “stacked” compartments. As shown in the pictures, the largest slot comfortably fits the 15.6” laptop while the middle slot can fit an iPad 7 that has a fairly bulky keyboard case on it. The smallest of the three slots contains a zipper that opens into a half closed / half mesh pocket. Lastly, there is a small slot opposite the mesh, along with the rest of the bag to hold additional items. As noted above, this is slightly on the flatter end though it does comfortably fit my two computers, travel headphones, and rolled up lightweight jacket. My only complaint with the design is that this is not a full zip-around. This is because one side has a sleeve to hold a water bottle. To be honest, I would have preferred the traditional side compartment and kept the full zip-around in order to make it easier to organize the interior contents. • Comfort and Look: On the contrary, this is perhaps my favorite aspect of the bag. I got the Stargazer Blue and absolutely love the color. It just screams “chic”! This is also very comfortable when worn, as the shoulder straps and back of the bag are very well-padded. • Durability: As noted, this is well-padded and made of a solid polyester fabric material. As I intend to wear this for walks to/from the office and daytrips, I believe this should hold up just fine. In summary, I love the color and comfort. I’m not a huge fan of the water bottle slot because it prevents the full zip-around, but I support I can live with it. It’s not quite as deep of a bag as I would prefer for weekend trips, but I believe this is a great size from intraday use. If that fits your needs, go ahead and give it a try!

I wanted to love this backpack so badly but I just couldnt adjust to the back padding. It was so uncomfortable on the top side of my back (below my neck). Also, I wasnt a fan of how it only fully unzipped on one side of the bag so I decided to return the backpack. I still have good things to say about it, but it just wasnt for me unfortunately.

I commute every day and have reviewed 6 or 7 different backpacks during my daily commute. Ive found that none meet every need but some meet niche needs very well and this is one of those. This backpack is relatively small- it holds a laptop and a few smaller items with a small organizer area for pens/keys/etc. It is relatively basic but is made very well and has the Osprey quality Ive come to know and expect. Additionally, this bag looks great and is incredibly comfortable. Even with my large (heavy) laptop, the shoulder strap is comfortable and fits very well worn either on one shoulder or both. This is not a great bag for a large carry-on or if you need to carry a lot of stuff; however, for a small, minimal type bad, this is a great backpack and I highly recommend it.

Let me start by saying that this bag is so nice! The material is breathable and the style is very appeasing. However, I carry multiple devices for work and could not easily fit all that needed to come with me on a daily basis in this bag. I thought getting the large would suffice, but if you carry more than a notebook and a laptop, this bag may be too small for you. Additionally, I found the lack of pockets somewhat frustrating. There was very little space to put all my pens/highlighters/bandaids/toiletries, etc. Overall, I really wanted to love this bag but I couldnt get over the lack of space and pockets so it went to my husband, who carries very little with him to work and loves it!

A nice solid basic pack. Simple straps that have padding, but nothing fancy. One front pocket with the zipper shielded, and then the main pocket (which is asymmetrical, drops farther down on one side). Inside is a slot for a 15 laptop, and then a couple of other slots -- and thats it. Quality construction as always, a nice simple basic pack when you dont need much.

Sturdily built backpack. Feels good on your back with plenty of padding. The padded compartments give me a good feeling that my electronic devices will be protected! Got a few compliments on its appearance as well!

This backpack by Osprey is very well made but keep in mind this is a laptop backpack. It’s not going to take a lot and I am quite disappointed with the size. It’s long but thin. Zipper doesn’t go all around because of the bottle pocket will not allow for this. Also, bottle pocket itself is hidden and it’s not easy accessible. You have to remove the bag from your shoulders to reach for the water. Overall look is clean and neat. Part of the bag that sits on the back and shoulder straps are generously padded and super comfortable. Zippers run effortlessly. However, this bag is selling for $99.95 and in my humble opinion it is not worth that price. I tested many different products and I am so happy to see Amazon opening up this huge and competitive market-space for everyone. There are many sellers offering superb no brand name products at a great price and offer 100% satisfaction guarantee. Osprey would need to add a built in charger and more features to make it worth $100. Sorry Osprey but I am not impressed.

Bought this backpack for my wife. She loved everything about it. The color, the compartments, and how slim it looked. Unfortunately, we returned the backpack due to how uncomfortable the shoulder straps were. The material between the two shoulder straps the area directly behind your neck dug into her neck way too much. It made the backpack extremely uncomfortable to wear, with or without items inside the backpack.
