Riliamo Expandable Laptop Backpack, 17.3-Inch

The 180-degree, suitcase-style opening makes the Riliamo backpack easier to pack and search than a traditional top-loading bag: open it flat and you can see the main compartment without moving everything around. Its listed dimensions are 19"x12"x8", and it is designed to hold a laptop up to 17.3 inches.

It also has breathable shoulder straps, a padded back panel, and separate pockets for travel essentials.

Getting the most from it

For a work trip, the flat-opening main compartment gives you a straightforward way to arrange clothes or other packed items, while the laptop section keeps your computer separate. At a security check or in a hotel room, being able to lay the bag open can make it easier to find what you need than rummaging through a narrow opening. The bag is also described as expandable, though the product details don’t say how much extra space expansion adds.

The S-shaped mesh shoulder straps and padded back panel are intended to make longer walks more comfortable, and an adjustable sternum strap adds stability. A hidden back-entry zipper and discreet anti-theft pocket provide places for items such as a passport, wallet, or phone. The cable hole lets you route a cable from a power bank inside the bag, it doesn’t mean a power bank is included.

Why it’s worth it

This backpack combines travel-style packing access with features for daily commuting. The water-resistant, high-density fabric and reinforced stitching are aimed at regular use, while the scratch-resistant exterior may help it keep a tidier appearance. The fabric is also described as tear-resistant. Still, water-resistant is not waterproof, so this isn’t the bag to rely on for keeping electronics dry in heavy rain.

If you prioritize easy access and organized packing, the lay-flat design is more useful than a basic backpack with one deep compartment. If you prefer rolling luggage for heavier loads, a backpack may be less comfortable to carry over a long airport walk. From the way it is set up, this model is meant to bridge commuting, business travel, and shorter trips rather than replace every kind of luggage.

Key takeaways

• Fits laptops up to 17.3 inches, the listed bag dimensions are 19"x12"x8".
• The 180-degree main-compartment opening gives a suitcase-like view of packed contents.
• Breathable mesh straps, a padded back panel, and an adjustable sternum strap support carry comfort.
• A concealed pocket, back-entry zipper, and cable pass-through add practical travel details.

There’s no listed weight or capacity, and the amount of extra room when expanded isn’t specified. That makes it harder to judge how much it can carry beyond the stated laptop fit and dimensions. Worth considering if you want one bag for a laptop commute and organized weekend packing. It’s not for you if you need confirmed waterproof protection or a stated capacity before choosing your luggage.

When it makes sense

This Riliamo makes the most sense for someone who switches between office days and short business or weekend travel, and wants backpack straps instead of a suitcase handle. Picture opening it flat beside a hotel bed to find a charger or change of clothes without unpacking the whole main compartment. For a daily carry with a more conventional, quick-access layout, a simpler backpack may suit better, for longer trips or bulkier packing, luggage with a specified capacity is easier to assess. Choose this one when its laptop fit, organized access, and carry-on-style format matter more than a confirmed volume or all-weather protection.
