hey how's it going Dave 2d here and this is a video on what I feel like I've the best backpacks for laptops or tech or just anything you would put in a backpack so as a male I feel like backpacks are pretty important to me because they're like one of very few items that we get to showcase a sense of style or whatever it is if we ever clothing we have our shoes but those you can switch in and out every day with the backpack it's pretty permanent you only have one or two at a time and they last a long time so you want to choose one that you actually enjoy wearing you want to choose one that actually looks good we don't want to do is choose a backpack that's like a tech backpack that's super ugly just because there's a tech backpack you don't want to do that you want to get some of you actually like the look of and you actually feel proud wearing to school or work whatever it is so in front of me are Herschel backpacks this is not a sponsored video they didn't send me any of these I purchased three of them over the years and the other ones I bought from my friends and co-workers just so I could make this video now understand that this pile of bags is not an exhaustive list of what they have they have probably 15 20 styles this is like five of them so go to their website if you want to see more but these are the ones that I particularly like okay let's start with this one the Heritage this was actually one of the very first bags of God from them is designed for 15-inch laptops so any kind of normal sized 15-inch laptop will fit in here XPS 15 MacBooks any of the thin ones will obviously fit but if you're like an ultra thick gaming laptop it's going to be a little bit difficult it's a really simple pack it doesn't have internal pockets or anything you have the front pouch and the laptop slot in the back but that's it holds a lot of stuff but it doesn't separate them into different compartments or anything now the one that I have here is a little bit older you won't be able to find this exact model but you'll be able to find a ton of other colors on their website if you're looking for something with a few more features it would be this one the pop quiz this is one of the more popular bags and if I had to choose one blindly from the whole herschel collection it would probably be this one for just the average person again this comes in a ton of color options and it's designed for a 15-inch laptop it has that padded material again for the laptop but this one has this elastic which helps it stretch a bit more so if you have some bigger laptops this might fit it a little better it also has a couple front patches and an inner pocket thing now one of the common features of the super ugly tech backpacks out there is that they'll include a battery into their backpack and I'll sell it to you they'll sell this hundred dollar or $150 ugly backpack and they'll call it a tech backpack just because there's a battery in it so what I think is better is to get your own battery pack this one's from Ankur and this backpack has a slot on the inside you keep the battery in there along with some cables I use these octopus looking cables and whenever I need to charge something I just connect it up and I'm good to go so I'll link all this stuff in the video description if you're interested in building your own kind of battery pack system it's pretty simple the next pack is similar to the pop quiz it's a little bit less boxy it's called the settlement it's a little cheaper but the front area only has one zippered area it's not two zippers and the inside laptop area has no padding it's just a separate section if you have a sleeve for your laptop it's no problem but if you don't I feel like you have to be a little more careful about how you toss your bag around this pack is actually the one that used the most right now the inside area has a slot you can put your battery in there just like the pop quiz but yeah simple backpack and I like the look of it the next one's a little bit more expensive it's called the mammoth this one is designed for a 13-inch laptops but they make a bigger one that's designed for 15-inch laptops and this whole pack is just more streamlined it's made with a more technical water-resistant material and it also has a rain cover there's a front pouch and then some pouches on the side but this one's pretty simple if you want a more technical looking pack that looks pretty clean this could be a good pickup another one that I like is the Parker and this pack is actually the one that I like the most in terms of its looks nothing too fancy the front pouch is flush with the pack it holds a 15-inch laptop but like the settlement I showed earlier it also doesn't have much padding in the laptop area it has two side pouches the front pouch is water sealed but it's not super spacious like there's space below the zipper but not above it I really like the look of this pack and that's why I purchased it but if you have a ton of stuff to carry this may not be a good fit okay the last one here is a messenger bag it's called the pop-quiz messenger and I normally like messenger bags but I don't love this one so this one's a little bit bulkier it's got a padded area for a 15-inch laptop and this is actually a bag that I bought from someone who's had it for over a year so it looks a little bit worn there's a lot of space on the inside but maybe a little too much I like my messenger bags just more streamlined and more clean this has a lot of room and it holds a well-protected laptop but it's just a little too big for me but if you're interested in messenger bags herschel makes some as well now it looks into the warranty and it seems like there's a lifetime warranty for these bags which is kind of cool these bags aren't cheap so the peace of mind is nice in terms of the overall experience with these bags I mean the reason why I made this video is because I've enjoyed using them over the years they last they look good they protect your laptop so if you're interested in them there's links to all this stuff down below okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs if you liked it subs if you loved it see you guys next time
