      Which category do they come under for cashback?

      I'm seeing 0% for accessories, assuming they are under this category, for both CR and SB.

      Thanks for the other links too

      Bought one last month th for 9.77.
      It's small, but for essentials, it's good. The quality for money is great.

    • beebul on 20/05/2022 - 08:48

      I've got it and use it to transport my smallish 14" Dell laptop to work, I have a dock at work and home though so don't need to bring much stuff with me. Can fit most things I need. I've currently got a charger, HDMI cable, mouse and some other bits and it fits them fine. Could fit a lunchbox but it would start to get crowded.

      For $18 I paid for it I'm happy. I didn't want a big rucksack to cart around - I would recommend but depends on your laptop size and how many odds and ends you need to carry around.

      This "clearance sale" is a regular event, but because I like the backpack and I've left an extended review before I've copied and pasted my detailed review that I left on a previous OzB post……I've owned this backpack since Jan 21 and I use it about once a week. I bought it in a previous deal, here's my thoughts.
      The Dell Gaming Lite Backpack 17 laptop pocket is no bigger than my similar sized 15" Dell backpack, both backpacks laptop pockets are exactly 310mm wide. The laptop pocket can fit my 15" Dell XPS while it's in a laptop sleeve and laptop bag quite snugly,
      so my guess is that it would just barely fit a 17" laptop with a sleeve.
      The material is shiny and a bit stiff, making it more difficult to get into the smaller pockets. There's an adequate amount of padding to protect your laptop,
      particularly on the back and the bottom. The Dell Gaming Lite Backpack 17 stands out with it's bright red trim and Dell logo,
      making it in my opinion more likely to get stolen, thieves are going to think there's got to be something good in there.
      I use it regularly to carry groceries on my bike, cartons of milk, fruit etc, often there will be 6KG+ in there and it feels comfortable to wear,
      the extra padding on the back stops pointy objects poking me in the back, the shoulder straps are wide soft and comfortable.
      I like this laptop bag, it has good access and the zip to the main compartment allows you to open the bag up wide to provide good access.
      The outer material feels like a Gore-Tex raincoat making it feel like it's rain proof, though I have no idea if it is. The zips feel premium or at least good quality
      along with the rest of the backpack, at $18.60 inc delivery, it's an OzB no brainer. It would make an ideal Kris Kringle present,
      or just re-gift it if you don't like it!

      • Sang11 on 20/05/2022 - 09:47

        Thanks for the detailed feedback. I pulled the trigger. Need one for work when I go in 2 days a week.

    • shabaka on 20/05/2022 - 09:45

      premium look and feel, very, very good quality for the price

      holds happily my 17g Aorus, mouse, headset, mouse pad, tablet, charger

      but no way to organise anything besides laptop and tablet and maybe a couple cables. everything is just dumped inside

      Make sure you keep plastic bag to use as bin liner so you don't have to steal fruit bags from the supermarket

    • oskarwells on 20/05/2022 - 23:06

      Same here (actually gave it to my kid as pretend luggage during the holidays), but then my trustworthy Caribee broke down in a middle of the trip and I was happy to have it as backup…! Still my main backpack until I find a proper replacement, quite impressed with it in the meantime.

  • timjohns on 20/05/2022 - 08:49

    Grabbed one as looks like it might be useful for transporting my work laptop + daily-carry to-and-from- the office a couple times a week… now that it's a thing again.
    I've had Dell bags in the past and found the quality to be very good.

  • silentsoar on 20/05/2022 - 09:04

    I have the gaming backpack 1720 - you get what you pay for. Its a well-made bag, but nothing about it is 'premium', and the $40 I paid feels about right for the quality of it

  • JuryWheel on 20/05/2022 - 09:15

    Anyone know if the gaming ones (that fit up to 17 inch) are going to be too big for a 15 inch?

    • edrift on 20/05/2022 - 09:34
      +2

      No it's not.

      I bought it and it's perfect for my 15" laptop.

      But the gaming one really isn't any better than the essentials one. I bought both and in hindsight think the essentials one was a better buy.

      • JuryWheel on 20/05/2022 - 09:43

        Thanks - i was tossing up between these two!

      • hjin on 20/05/2022 - 09:54

        Are the accessory compartments in the gaming one useful? From the pictures, I can only see one (+ laptop compartment)

        • edrift on 20/05/2022 - 10:26
          +2

          It only has one extra pocket on the inside. Better than none, bit still pretty poor.

    Got one previously, I am surprize how thin the bag is, will never use it as a laptop bag. $64 seem way overprice. Its an OK price for $17

  • hymio on 20/05/2022 - 09:55

    I have the essential backpack and briefcase but bought the non-lite gaming backpack to see if it can fit a bit more than the essential for days where I'd like to carry lunch and a jacket. Also the back zip on the essential was starting to annoy me.

  • jackwilk on 20/05/2022 - 10:07

    I have both these 15 and 17" backpacks. At these prices these are a bargain. Thinking about getting more but I don't need that many.

  • DaTa on 20/05/2022 - 10:19

    Is the essentials or the gaming a better buy for a few dollars more?(Prefer the essentials style) for use with say Thinkpads?

    • edrift on 20/05/2022 - 10:23

      Essentials.

      I own both

    • jackwilk on 20/05/2022 - 10:26
      +1

      Essential is more compact, perfect when you want travel light on public transport. Gaming Lite Backpack is bigger, but I reckon it's also convenient, I mean not that bulky. Good for overhead cabin storage. Both are well made.

      • hjin on 20/05/2022 - 10:54
        +1

        Would the either one be able to fit a small lunchbox? Just want to be able to fit a tablet, some food and maybe a jumper

        • jackwilk on 20/05/2022 - 11:04

        I'm coming in late, but I own the gaming one. It's very, very good.
        Really sturdy and length of room.

      • blerk on 20/05/2022 - 22:28

        The pretty triangles on the GM1720PM sold it for me last time. The subtle flair is nicer in person.

        • Sambuca on 23/05/2022 - 09:07

          Does it look like rainbow? Some pics show it looking pretty colourful

            +1

            @Sambuca: Only when strong light hits it a particular way. It’s quite muted in normal indoor light because it is made from a reflective type material. Does not look like what a 8 year old girl would go giddy over, if that’s what you were thinking.

            • Sambuca on 24/05/2022 - 13:51

              @blerk: That's exactly what I was thinking, you answered that perfectly! :)

    Looks nice enough but for me the Dell logo is a deal-breaker. It makes it look like you got it for free at a conference.

  • Geary on 20/05/2022 - 11:02

    Can anyone tell me if the briefcase would fit 2 x 13" laptops and one charger?

    • SabreTooth23 on 20/05/2022 - 14:24
      +1

      I have the 15” briefcase and my 13” hp and 13 macbook pro snugly fit with 1 charger can be squeezed on the side. I would worry on the handle though. I don’t think the materials were built to carry 2 laptops also bear in mind the padding of the essential briefcase isn’t that great.

  • garage sale on 20/05/2022 - 11:32

    Went with the gaming, it has a rain cover and I cycle …..had bad exerience with crumpler in that water got in through the zip with rain driven by wind behind me …. luckily nokia fixed the rain damaged phone under warranty, Ipad dried and worked, work laptop (Dell) booted and worked fine.

        Got same email. Im pissed because i bought the 15" bag which got delayed and i had to go overseas. So it got delivered and consequently returned to sender and got refunded.

        Bought the 17" bag and that too was delayed and now cancelled. Was offered the ecoloop backpack and i didnt take up the offer as not liking the look of it.
