Just arrived and looks good

Just arrived today. However, wear and tear and time can change this. Looks like a utility item and appears to be well constructed. I've read some complaints about the laptop's packaging. My 14 inch laptop barely fits in. The rim is just below the top of the package. This will work, but probably not ideal. However, this is not what I planned for it. It holds 2 full-size iPads, each with a protective leather case, and there's room for additional ones. So for me it's great. Plenty of pockets and the main compartment still has the space I wanted. With iPads, it can have enough space. a place to "sleep” will depend on your needs. My main use will be around town and running errands during the day. It fits that bill perfectly. One thing I noticed (and I think I read it in another review) is the shoulder straps with perforations. There are only 3 of these, I'll probably have to slip a few more through to trim part of the strap. So I figured it was time for an upgrade. This package is just right for me. The PC part easily holds 2 iPads with cases around them. I could also cram a 15-inch laptop in, but it was tight in terms of width. The elastic strap and velcro kept them there perfectly. I've seen reports of issues with 17" laptops and yes that might push it. The straps are long so I had to drill a few extra holes to fit my shoulder better, but a nail and hammer made this easier. . All in all it was a good day/urban backpack. Warning, this is a leather backpack, which means it looks good but isn't as light as high-tech backpacks. I assumed that when I bought it and I really liked it. (And, as I said at the beginning, a list of good storage bags
