According to our backpack expert
The XD Design Bobby Tech Solar Anti-Theft 15 inches is the first technological bag from XD Design. The bag has a built-in solar panel, for example, that you can use to easily charge your phone or tablet via the USB port in the bag. The bag is made of cut-resistant, recycled PET material and has hidden zippers, so you're better protected against pickpockets. Your bank cards are also safe, thanks to the RFID compartment in the shoulder strap. Thanks to the Fidlock system, you always have your phone and drinking bottle at hand. The inside of the backpack has various compartments, so you can store your belongings in an organized way. There are separate compartments for your laptop, tablet, passport, and other documents. At the back, you'll find a smart sleeve to attach the bag to a carry-on suitcase.
Note: the size of your laptop, like 15 inches or 17 inches, is the screen size, not the size of your whole laptop. If the bezels around your screen are wide, choose a laptop compartment in a larger size. That way, you can be sure your laptop fits.

I bought this backpack for conference and city trips, so that I can travel worry-free and know that my belongings cannot be stolen. The bag itself is fine, was initially very enthusiastic about the solar panel function, but can say with certainty that after a full day of walking around with this bag on an excellent sunny day, the solar panel is virtually useless.
There is no convenient way to test if the panel works, it is sewn into the bag and if it is broken, or goes, you basically have a broken tech bag where you have to replace the entire bag... Big downer, especially after the company proudly advertises using recycled products for their material.
Also, the accessories are a bit useless. Wireless charger is only useful if you can charge wirelessly, otherwise you will have a piece of tech collecting dust at home. The bottle holder is a bit clumsy, because it only grabs the bottle, but does not support it, so your bottle can fall out at any time. Phone case is too small for any modern device and no updates have been made since the bag came out (2019). So clearly an afterthought, rather than a feature.
So the bag feels like an afterthought chasing a trend, then a well-executed feature.
Too bad, this one is going back to the store.

Excellently made product with a good appearance. Especially for public transport commuters with computers a godsend.
