I like to carry my laptop along with lots of accessories. This bag is great for that. There are so many pockets and compartments with other pockets - I really like it in this bag. I'm an organized person, everything is in its place so all the separate compartments were a must. This bag was actually the second bag I've bought in a week because while the first one was still a good bag, it just didn't have enough separate pockets. In addition, the build quality seems to be very good. Love the strap design for the extra padding and the zippers have a better feel than most - really smooth zippers. The zipper handles are even very comfortable for me. The material of the bag is soft yet durable. I don't like bags that look like tarps for a tent - this one is perfect for me. I also like the style of the bag, but it's an individual choice. My stepson, who often travels several times a week for work, liked it so much that he bought the same bag. Which brings me to a slight downside for the bag - it's so big that my son says it has a hard time getting under the seat of a smaller plane if you pack it full. I'm pretty sure it will fit with what I normally wear with no problem, but I could easily pack sleepwear and such in there and make it my only piece of luggage. Tons of space!
