Review on πŸŽ’ Black Timbuk2 Division Pack Laptop Backpacks in Various Sizes by Lisa Cummings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great everyday laptop with a surprising amount of capacity for its size and an elegant design.

I've been looking at everyday backpacks for a long time. The choice is huge and confusing. Even from the same manufacturer, there can be 20 or more styles with minor differences. I ordered this backpack and Thule Subterra 23L Thule Subterra (3203437) Backpack 23l, Dark Shadow. I really preferred this one. First, it has a certain style, a kind of sophisticated sporty look. But beyond that, it was just roomier and more versatile. Although it's technically 1 liter smaller, its spacious main compartment fits a lot more. I think this has to do with both its softness (vs. Thule's rigidity) and the fact that the laptop compartment is separate giving you a large space. The video shows that I can carry my 13" MacBook Pro. , my 10" iPad, documents, books, gym clothes, chargers, other small items and my water bottle, all pretty handy. I could probably stuff even more into it. I'm 5'5" and 17.3" is a good fit for a small frame. PROS: - Style. It just looks really nice and isn't like other backpacks - Roomy. Look how much I can fit in could - simple.No endless choice of pockets and pouches that divide the volume so much that large items don't fit -- Separate padded laptop compartment -- Padded tablet compartment -- Attached key ring -- Simple choice of internal pockets Enough for a couple of pens , a charger, etc. - A large external compartment - Good ventilation on the back - Sturdy top handle CONS: - I could do without the compression buckles on the sides, I find them to be common on a daily basis en laptop are just in the way. I'm thinking of just cutting them off - the chest strap was meant to be tucked into the shoulder straps but I found it didn't stay well there so I just took it off (it's detachable). I wish it had another pocket on the other side, like a water bottle sleeve.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Everything is fine
