Dell J1V9M Professional Briefcase 14,Black

Bought this to replace an old Targus backpack I've been using for almost 10 years. I had kept putting off buying a new backpack because I wasn't sure what I wanted (brand, style, etc.) but then I bought a new laptop and it wouldn't fit in my old backpack. I came across this 15" Dell one while looking for a decent backpack which can comfortably hold/protect a modest (not super huge) gaming laptop as well as some papers, an iPad, and a notebook or two. For reference, I have the 15.6" Dell Inspiron 7577, and the laptop compartment in this backpack holds it perfectly. Padding is good, both interior and exterior, so my laptop is protected and the backpack is comfortable to wear. I definitely like the level of compartmentalization this backpack offers, since the laptop section, books/papers section, pens/small items section, and a quick access small outer section are all zippered and separate from one another. Also it looks deceptively small from the outside; there's plenty of storage space! Very well designed. There's 2 small zippered side pockets, and one side has a mesh net for holding a water bottle. Also the back has a wide strap at the bottom that allows you to slide the backpack over the handles of a carry-on bag. Honestly, for $30, this backpack is a great deal, and I highly recommend it. I just wish I had bought it sooner haha.

I researched many business-style laptop backpacks. As a commuting professional working in a big metropolis, I was very specific in the features I wanted in a slim, lightweight, versatile backpack. I found most of what I wanted in the Dell 52CDX 15". Here's what the Dell delivers on: Size - reasonably slim and compact yet large enough for daily business requirements, plus a few clothing items when traveling. Comfort - very comfortable. Lightweight, good positioning on the back, good padding on the straps and back. Durability - very good. Handle is ok, could be a bit stronger, but seems durable. Water resistance is good. I've had it out in a rainstorm and the contents stayed dry. The bottom of the backpack is a heavier water resistant material which makes it fine to set down on the dirty floors of crowded trains and subway cars. Overall materials are good. Nice reflective strips on the straps to help nighttime visibility. Compartments - plenty for commuting and business needs. Inner zipper pocket provides security. The interior colors are contrasting to the exterior colors: light gray for contents, blue for the laptop compartment. Very nice - makes the contents easy to see. Key chain strap is long enough to pull out and use the keys on a door. Flexible side pocket for a small water bottle. Also, the zippers alternate by color, black and blue, from the front to back. Nice feature to help remember what compartment you are storing things in. Laptop support - at first I thought Dell missed it here by not providing much padding on the bottom, but there is a laptop sleeve inside that supports (actually suspends) a 15" laptop and provides excellent shock-absorbing protection. Trolley sleeve - not some simple strap, but a large band that securely holds the backpack to a suitcase handle when traveling. "Wish it had" features missing from the backpack that would have made it perfect to me: a hidden zippered security compartment on the back; a sturdier handle; and a larger side pocket to hold a standard sized compact umbrella. Overall, I recommend this backpack.

I ordered the 13". It fits my Dell xps 13" perfectly. In my photo, I have a mouse stuffed inside the front pocket. It will also fit my power cord comfortably when I need to pack it. I have a close up photo of the fabric texture if you need to see it up close. Seller photo is accurate as far as color goes. My photos don't have the best color depiction as it looks slight brown or light grey in the other. Product information doesn't state fabric material unfortunately. I purchased a few patches to iron on and now I'm not sure if I should iron them on. It is a very nice professional sleeve and the handles are comfy. The long strap doesn't dig into my shoulders as it has a soft pad. The price I paid was reasonable.

Fantastic backpack. Build quality is superior to nearly all backpacks i have owned. Very very large amounts of space, i was able to fit my ultrabook, 6 WRITING NOTEBOOKS (composition), a sweater, my phone charger, my laptop charger, mouse, 2 calculators and all the other little things like headphones and wallet, writing utensils etc, I was able to fit all of these WITH EASEE. The backpack is also very well seperated and organized with many compartments. The laptop section is also fairly decently padded with a very plush soft blue foam and fabric. The backpack also does NOT look too bulky considering how much i fit in. For the price (i got the 17 in version) it is very much worth it and would highly recommend.

Excelent quality and functionality

I purchased this for my new XPS 13, and it fits like it was custom-made for the laptop. This is actually my second one as I bought my first back in 2021 for a previous XPS 13 (which I still have), and incredibly, that sleeve is still in great condition after years of daily use. What I love most is how slim the profile is. It slides perfectly into my attaché case without adding bulk, while still providing enough protection for my investment. The blue interior not only looks great against the grey exterior but also provides a nice contrast that makes it easy to see my laptop when I'm in a hurry. The water-resistant exterior gives me confidence when commuting, and the front organizer pocket keeps my essential accessories neatly arranged. The zipper quality is excellent - smooth operation without catching. At less than $20, the price simply cannot be beat for the quality and functionality you're getting. For anyone with an XPS 13 or similar sized laptop looking for sleek, reliable protection, this Dell sleeve is the perfect solution. It strikes the ideal balance between professional appearance, practical protection, and exceptional value.

I got this bag for mt son, and he loves it. I thought it might be a bit too small, but he says his computer fits in it perfectly. The quality is good, and he uses it every day.

Had initially purchased a sleeve but returned it and picked this up for a dollar less. I'm using it for the Dell XPS 13 2021 and its a perfect fit. The extra pocket is good for the laptop charger and usb hub. The handles are pretty sturdy and it's well cushioned. I also like the fact that the Dell logo is subtle. I use this as a standalone bag and for my travels i can pop it into my backpack too as it's compact. The bad Been using it for a month now. Not sure if the black material that's used on the base will start to crumble like my previous bag but will watch and see.
