Peter Olivieri - 2009-10-14Great Backpack
I have used briefcases for work and always ran into problems. Either with carrying the case or trying to fit things. The backpack has a lot of different compartments and because you can carry it on your back it's never a problem. I would highly recommend it. Oh and my laptop fits nice and secure too.

Prior to purchasing from altrec.com I bought the North Face Surge Backpack (Black) on eBay for $91 USD. The item I received was full of faults and defects. I returned it for a full refund and decided try again online. (Avoiding eBay of course).
I chose altrec.com because of its great customer service ratings, and its strong foundation as a recognized online retail store. I bought it here immediately with free shipping, and much to my surprise, I had my backpack delivered to me in less than a week!
I must say the backpack is truly worth the money. I am 6 ft tall, and it fits me very well. It has many useful pockets to store anything and everything related to school.
I myself am a college student so it holds many of my heavy textbooks and my 10.2 inch netbook easily.
I love the way they designed the inside of the backpack with the contrasting red and gray fabric. Every single detail of the backpack was well constructed with high quality materials. You'll have to buy one yourself to see what I mean.
I've been carrying around the standard 2 pocket Jansport backpack for many years of my early middle school and high school life, that this backpack seems like a luxury to me. I already know 3 friends who want this backpack because they saw me wearing it.
I'll definitely be carrying this guy around for many years to come with complete satisfaction.
Mr Banks - 2009-08-18Best backpack EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought this bag for school and doing some day trips while camping. I wanted a separate compartment for my laptop plus enough room for books, without my laptop getting slapped around by books. This bag works perfect plus the pocket on the bottom for your cords. The straps are crazy comfy, its an all around awesome bag.

Susan Wingate - 2009-07-29great for college
I bought this backpack to carry a 15-inch laptop computer, textbooks and other gear around a large university campus. It fits the bill perfectly. A bit larger than the Borealis (which I also own), it is perfect for larger-sized laptops with plenty of room to spare. It is attractive and very well-constructed, as you would expect from the North Face. Although I have not used it on the trail, I expect that it would hold up there as well.
Anonymous - 2009-07-11Comfortable Backpack
I bought this backpack for summer traveling and as well as college use. It truly is versatile. The shoulder straps and back panel are very padded making even heavy loads comfortable. My husband carried it for more than 4 hours through Carlsbad Caverns and commented that it was so much more comfortable than any backpack he has ever owned. I also love all the various pockets inside. The only problem I can find with this backpack is that the padded area for the laptop takes up some of the room in the main compartment.
Dawn Conner - 2009-05-17Great Backpack
I love this backpack. I bought 2 (1 for me and 1 for my friend) She thinks it's a little too bulky for her but she is small. I am a little taller than her and it fits me perfect! Would definitely recommend to buyers! Very well made with a lot of room for several books and a laptop.
Denise - 2009-05-05Great backpack!
Perfect size for college. Looked for a long time to find a backpack with a fully padded/dedicated laptop compartment that still looks great. Like how you can make it larger or small depending on what your packing.
Gregory Hodder - 2009-02-25Great pack for laptop/short trips
The pack has great pockets for your computer accessories, as well as a really great pocket on the bottom for your charger. Since I take my laptop on most short trips, it's great that it has just enough room for my weekend clothes, but is not bulky. Highly recommended!
JamesL - 2009-02-10Awesome!!!
I was looking for a new laptop backpack when I came across the NF surge. It's much roomier than my old laptop backpack and also lighter. The padding in the back is awesome, it protects my laptop inside and also easy on my back. I use it for carrying my my macbook pro and couple of books to school. It has ton of pockets (MP3, power adapter for laptop, cellphone, water bottles, camera...). Best laptop ever!
RM - 2008-08-11Awesome backpack
I have last years model and just saw this year's at a store - it's great. Several improvements in terms of internal design to an already well-designed backpack. I use it for corporate travel and just going to/from work and it is simply the best one I've used after years of trying different ones...
Daniel Wang - 2008-07-18Great product and fast shipping!
Awesome product! I purchased the one in bittersweet brown, and it looks much better in real life than in the picture. I'm very glad I choose this color over the others.
The features this backpack comes with are all very useful and made very well. I needed a laptop compartment and many other pockets to hold other things since I'll be going to medical school soon, so that's why I bought this one. It has The North Face sturdiness and style, so it was definitely worth the buy. Just wished it could have been a tiny bit cheaper, but in the end, this backpack will probably last me 10 years if I don't too overly abuse it. So I guess in the end it's very very worth it.
I used the free shipping, and it arrived at my house in 5 days with no problem. 3 thumbs up!
Anonymous - 2008-05-26Great Lappy Pack
I have had a couple TNF bags and as usual they never let me down. The best pack I have had so far for lugging my computer and stuff. Holds a lot, but doesnt look big and bulky.

Ray M, - 2008-04-05My favorite backpack !!
This is backpack is perfect for all kinds of needs for a college student. It is very comforting to wear on your shoulders and it's very stylish. It has many different compartments so you can do whatever you want with it. I'm a college student and i carry lots of books and i bring my laptop with me everywhere. The strap support is just awesome. I would not feel any negative pressure on my shoulders like I would with my other experiences with backapcks like jansports or dakine duel. The design is superb. I am very happy with my purchase. This backpack will last me a very, i mean, a very long time.
