Rimbaly
Laptop backpack

With its laptop backpack , the manufacturer Rimbaly offers a versatile and flexible product that impresses in our test with its useful features that are suitable for everyday use.
In particular, the option to increase the volume of the backpack should be emphasised. The external connection for USB cables and the additional compartments emphasise the overall clever product design.
On the negative side, however, we noticed in our test that the zip mechanism for expanding the volume tends to get a little caught on the fabric overlap. There may be room for improvement here, even though this is probably the least used zip. In addition, sustainability information from the manufacturer on the product and its manufacture/transport would be desirable.
Overall, however, the rucksack is a flexible travelling companion with many additional functions.

  • USB connection
  • Water-repellent & impact-resistant
  • Expandable volume if required
  • No sustainability information
  • Zips get caught easily

The test

General information

We took a close look at the product and tested it in practice. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. From the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling, the product is subjected to our test procedure.

To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum achievable score per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weighting.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The laptop backpack from Rimbaly arrives in a very compact, sealed plastic film. This reliably protects the backpack from transport damage, scratches and moisture, so that product protection is fully guaranteed.
It makes sense not to use any other packaging components. Nevertheless, an alternative material such as cardboard or paper would be desirable for reasons of sustainability.
The package contents are as stated by the manufacturer and are complete. There are no instructions for use, but this makes sense as the product is self-explanatory to use.

The laptop backpack from Rimbaly also makes a good impression on closer inspection. Once the protective film has been removed, we take a closer look at the backpack.
The anthracite-coloured fabric of the backpack initially makes an appealing but inconspicuous impression. The zips and special features are in a matching black colour.
The workmanship is also impressive during our initial visual inspection. There are no faults or defects on the material surface or the seams. Everything is clean and neatly finished and there are no material protrusions.
The stability of the product seems appropriate for its intended use. On the one hand, the material appears flexible and adapts to the volume inside. At the same time, the rucksack makes a robust and resistant impression, so that the contents are well protected and safe.
There is only room for improvement in terms of sustainability . Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide any further information on production or transport. However, due to the good workmanship, a long service life can be assumed.

The laptop backpack impresses with its sophisticated functionality and pleasant carrying comfort, making it ideal for everyday use as well as for longer journeys. The useful USB cable connection, which makes it possible to connect a power bank inside the backpack and conveniently charge devices while travelling, is a particularly positive feature. This is a practical feature that makes the backpack particularly attractive for frequent travellers or commuters. The air-permeable shoulder straps also contribute to comfort.
In terms of capacity, the backpack offers a good volume and can be used flexibly . It is ideal as a laptop bag, as the laptop compartment is impact-resistant thanks to special protection and thus offers additional security for sensitive devices. If required, the backpack can be extended with a zip to provide more space for clothing, documents or other items. This volume expansion is particularly practical if you spontaneously need more storage space, for example when travelling on business. The good organisation is supported by additional small compartments in which cables, pens or other small items can be stored safely and neatly.
The fasteners of the rucksack are mostly well made, especially the main zips work smoothly and give a secure feeling. One small point of criticism, however, concerns the zip for expanding the volume. This occasionally gets caught due to the overlapping of the fabric, which limits the otherwise flexible use somewhat.
In terms of stability, the rucksack has a robust and reliable design. The laptop compartment is particularly well protected by impact-resistant padding so that sensitive devices can be transported safely. The upper material of the rucksack is flexible enough to adapt to different filling volumes, but is also resistant to impacts and everyday wear and tear.
Cleaning the backpack is uncomplicated. Stains and dirt can be easily removed with standard textile cleaners, so that the backpack looks well cared for even after intensive use.
Overall, this laptop backpack offers an excellent combination of comfort, flexibility and protection for the laptop. The option to expand the volume if required and the well thought-out additional compartments make it a practical companion for everyday life and travelling, even if the zip for expanding the volume occasionally snags.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of up to €69.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €26.99 . The laptop backpack from Rimbaly is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €39.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
