Great backpack! best in backpacks

I bought an Acer Helios 300 15.6 inch laptop and my Swiss backpack I was using wasn't quite up to the task of holding it as it's bigger than the average 15.6-inch laptop. I saw this pack on the top 10 list for 2018 and figured why not, it looks and fits great. I have to say that I am very happy with it. Fits Helios 300 with free space and I even managed to fit my work laptop (Lenovo T440s) in the tablet case which caused me concern when ordering the bundle as I carry both laptops with me. I like the corner at the bottom of the pack. I was able to fit both power supplies, my G203 mouse and Xbox controller in this compartment leaving some space. The strap that's supposed to hang the headset is pretty much useless. It's so long that it doesn't really do much. That was shorter or adjustable so the headset actually hung from the bottom of the bag. However, this space fits my G933 headset pretty well considering they are bulky. The side pockets are very high and roomy, ideal for cables, glasses case, phone, wallet, etc., and the front pockets fit well. Phone chargers and various small parts. Even though I have the same weight of items in this backpack, it holds the weight MUCH better than my Swiss. Overall it feels a lot lighter on my shoulders and the weight feels very balanced on my back rather than feeling high or low. Should help when I'm flying and have to lug all my stuff plus Dewalt drill batteries (working supplies, batteries should be in carry on). Airplane. Haven't flown it yet, but it meets Delta's carry-on size criteria for the dimensions listed. I've been on many flights where the overhead bins were full before everyone boarded and people had to check in their carry-on bags in the tunnel. I'm worried that if this thing doesn't fit under the seat, they might try to force me to register it, which won't happen. I'll try to remember to update this after my next flight. Overall, the first impression is really good. I've had my Swiss for 3 years, travel to and from work and hotels every week, and they've held up great showing little to no signs of wear. I hope I can expect the same from this backpack, especially for the money.
