About this product
If you're carrying a laptop around day-to-day and want something that'll keep it safe without looking like you're off to a tech conference, this backpack's designed for that. The Port Designs Houston fits laptops up to 17in in a padded compartment, so you've got proper protection whether you're commuting, heading to lectures, or just moving between spaces. There's a separate pocket for tablets up to 10.1in, plus a front organiser section for cables, chargers, pens and whatever else tends to float around in your bag.
It's made from a durable case material that holds up well to everyday knocks, and the whole thing's structured to spread the weight comfortably across your shoulders. You get two zipped pockets for things you need to grab quickly, plus two side mesh pockets for a water bottle or umbrella. The organiser up front keeps smaller bits in check, so you're not fishing around for your phone or keys. It's straightforward, practical and comes with a manufacturer's limited lifetime guarantee, so it's built to last beyond a season or two.
- 600 denier polyester case.
- Suitable for laptops up to 17in.
- Padded laptop compartment.
- Manufacturer's limited lifetime guarantee.
- EAN: 3567041102768.

Customers Say
Spacious, well-designed backpack fits large laptops (up to 21") and multiple devices with many compartments. Comfortable straps and good quality materials praised, but some report durability issues and limited padding.

Just the job
Bought this to replace a similar Port Designs bag I'd had for a good few years but was starting to come apart. This one is designed exactly the same with its zipped compartments, but is slightly larger and now comfortably accommodates my 17" Lenovo laptop, as well as offering more internal storage space! Very pleased with this and am sure it will also give many years of service.

Decent backpack
I have used this brand of backpacks for many years now. Design has changed slightly over time, but still very practical and useful. Feels like the material might not last as long as previously, but still represents good value - the one I've just replaced lasted 3 years of daily use

A very good replacement
Purchased to replace my broken Dell bag which perished after years of service. This bag is sturdy, many compartments, heavy quality zips, cannot fault it at all. Big enough for my 21" laptop, and still space to go. Comfy straps and adjustable, cannot fault it at all :)

Went on a pre college start shopping trip with one of my granddaughters , we looked absolutely everywhere and this was the last thing on her list, we decided to give up and go home and on the way saw an Argos , not expecting to have any luck we thought it best to just rule it out anyway and lo and behold! There it was! The perfect bag AND it came it two sizes ! My mission was completed 😉

Item was not as described
I specifically chose this bag for the luggage strap and it didn’t have one so I returned it.
