If you are looking a laptop bag that provides incredible capacity, many separated compartments and is built to last - no need to search further. I read all the reviews on Amazon before buying this bag 6 months ago and it lives up to all of them.
What do I carry in this bag - two 15" laptops with power supplies, a Kindle, noise cancelling headphones, power pack, kensington lock, bag of cables for all eventualities, pens, travel documents and one set of spare (lightweight) clothes when flying ... total weight usually over 10kg. In 6 months I have travelled internationally, using this as hand luggage (don't check the valuable stuff :-O ) and the same number of internal flights - this bag works fantastically.
What is so great? Organisation - with all that stuff I can still find every item easily, there are 4 main compartments, 2 internal zipped compartments , +3 external 'small' compartments and 2 elasticated side pockets. The main laptop section secures two laptops and Kindle and PowerPack - at airport security they slide in and out really, really easily, which makes a big difference in that queue. There is a net pocket here that will hold power supplies and stylus so they are 'to hand' but won't fall out at security.
The array of smaller zipped pockets ensure that I can drop my other valuables into the bag knowing they won't fall out whilst I am pulling the laptops in and out.
There is one 'top' zipped, mid-size pocket that will hold passport, wallet, watch, security pass, shades, small cable, loose change, etc. that is incredibly useful.
Downsides - it is a little heavy, I would not want to weigh this bag at check-in; when I pack all this stuff in it would probably not fit into those 'carry on bag gauges' (but might with a squash) but have never been stopped; there are a couple of zipped pockets so small I have never found a use for them, and the elasticated side pockets are not big enough for Camelback water bottles (my go to hydration packs) but many of the new aluminium, insulated drinks bottles fit perfectly.
After 6mths - I have no serious complaint, nor are there any problems with zips, stitching, or material - simply the usual scuffs of daily use. Would I buy again - Yes - there is no doubt I would buy again, but not expecting to require that bag for many years!
After 12mths of regular office use and four business trips there are no signs of wear, everything works just as day one, the plethora of zipped pockets and slip in pockets continues to amaze me, and organise as many as three laptops plus PSU, cables, mice, USB Power pack, etc. Copes with 15kg+ of bits and pieces.
Continual use right up until "lockdown" this bag completed international trips, carried a huge load, without missing one stitch or zip problem. I would buy again but don't expect to need to for many years!

Not big enough for an MSI GT70 17.3 inch widescreen laptop. But a sturdy rucksack.
I bought this specifically to carry my laptop on a flight abroad but the laptop is too long for the padded slot. I can close the zip, but the laptop corners are pushing on the zip in a way which I'm not comfortable with.I've attached a photo of the laptop put fully into the bag.The laptop does *just* fit in the space behind the padded slot, but that means it has less padding at the bottom where you would place the bag in the floor. If I had enough time to return this bag and find a larger replacement I would, but I fly in a couple of days, so I'm going to have to live with it.Given it 3 stars because it looks like a good bag but despite being advertised as a 17 inch laptop bag, it's not big enough for my 17.3 inch laptop. That point 3 of an inch wouldn't make a significant difference.[Update: my son has been using this to carry his books every school day for months and it's a very solid rucksack. I upped the rating from 3 to 4 stars to reflect how good the bag is in that respect. Luckily he doesn't have to carry a 17 inch laptop! I would recommend this if your child carries a large weight of books to school.]
