The North Face Surge Laptop Backpack is what I would call a premium backpack. If you have a large laptop, read 17″ or larger, then this pack should be high on your list. If you only have a 10″ netbook, but like to keep your life in a bag, then this is the bag for you. This laptop backpack has enough capactiy to hold your notebook, text books, binders, a change of clothes, a refrigerator… well just kidding about the fridge, I think. Anyhow, this pack also doubles nicely as a backpack you would use for camping and hiking, or simple weekend trips where traditional luggage is just too much.
North Face says, “you’ll be investing in the right pack for multiple adventures”… they are right. If you enjoy the outdoors or taking day trips, and you are looking for a backpack for your laptop and more, then you can’t go wrong choosing the North Face Surge laptop backpack.
The North Face Surge is made from high quality material that can withstand all the rigors of every day use. Secure enough for your valuables, durable enough to handle the back country. This pack is especially popular among college students and weekend day trippers who are notorious for carrying around their lives in a bag. The Surge makes it easy to do so… and keep it all organized at the same time. And with the numerous zippered compartments, getting to your small storage items is a breeze.
North Face always takes special pride in making backpacks that can carry a heavy load, and do so in a way that does not hurt your back in the process. The shoulder straps and back panel are designed with extra padding so that even when you are carrying a heavy load you will never feel like the pack is digging into you. This system also helps to disperse the load evenly and this reduces back strain… a very, very important feature. Younger folks reading this may not understand that yet. Trust me, take care of your back NOW and you will thank yourself in 15 years!
You never have to worry about your laptop getting damaged in the Surge backpack. I have even heard someone complain that there was TOO MUCH padding and that was taking room away from another storage compartment. I had to laugh at that one. I honestly don’t think you can skimp on protection for your laptop! The surge can handle any sized laptop, making it the perfect pack for someone with a large laptop or someone who thinks they may eventually own a larger one.
For the fashion conscious, there are 5 color choices available. This could, of course, hamper those who have trouble deciding on such things. The colors available are black, cherry stain brown (kind of a burnt orange), deepwater blue/basin blue, saratoga green, and zinc grey. My personal favorite is the deepwater blue/basin blue. If you are purchasing a Surge as a gift for someone, this is the ideal color choice.

So whether you are a corporate warrior, or a day tripping college student, I highly recommend this pack for its comfort, looks, ability to carry as much as you need, and its durability.
