"I bought it for a business trip but when I got home I mothballed my Lodis wheeled laptop bag - and I love that bag!
On the plane, this was full but it held my 17" HP, iPad, iPod, cables and chargers, the dreaded one quart Baggie of travel liquids, eyeglasses, sunglasses, and everything else I wanted in easy reach on a very long flight. Once on the ground it was still stylish enough that I carried it to the office but it dressed down and worked beautifully as a day pack (a little large but all the better to haul souvenirs).
Back home it still carries the electronics with cables and chargers, small cross body bag, small cosmetic bag and eyeglasses - and I still have plenty of room for a lunch and snacks, a liter of water, and whatever other oddball item travels with me that day.
At checkpoints inside the US I quick unzipped and flew through security. Outside the US I had to take the laptop out but it's still so easy to do.
I have a shorter torso but it fits comfortably on my back. The leather looks and feel gorgeous. I bought it in chocolate and it's perfect - dark enough to go with black shoes but not such a stark contrast to my clothes in the summer. The zippers are sturdy, don't stick, and are set well so the fabric does not get hung up in the zip.
It may be perfect..."

"First, please note that Ebags has reversed the laptop compartment dimensions with the overall dimensions. This is why it says that many large laptops would fit, while also labeling the bag as "extra small". My 15.4 inch Dell fit snugly but larger would not fit.
I am a university professor and need something that can function as a briefcase, look very professional, and yet not hurt my back. This backpack is the perfect solution for that. It also fits snugly in my bicycle rear side rack for added flexibility. I can walk or bike to work or around campus.
Overall I like this bag for its size and appearance. There is plenty of space for my books and materials in addition to the laptop. The main compartment is a large 11" by 4.5" or so with no internal divisions. This gives you flexibility for putting large bulky things inside (thermos, books). It also means that everything gets dumped together unless you create your own organizational framework using small boxes for holding sunglasses, umbrella, etc. The outer pocket seems mainly for flat things no wider than a phone.
Before I ordered it I thought the straps might be too thin, putting stress on my shoulders when the bag is full, but they turn out to be quite comfortable. Likewise the handle is stronger than it appears to be in the pictures.
FYI I am 6ƈ", so perhaps this bag would be too big for much shorter people."

"This is a good bag. It has very large pockets. I could likely do a single overnight without bringing along a suitcase (if I didn't have a lot of paperwork.) I'm 5Ǝ", but thin, and it takes up my whole back. If you are small it might feel overwhelming, but it is a comfortable bag and it looks great."

"I've had this bag for over 3 years now and use it every day for work. This backpack has commuted into NYC by train and subway and traveled all over the U.S. and Europe on numerous business trips. It's great for TSA checkpoints...just flip it open and keep your laptop inside. (Note that it's only valid with TSA. I have been required to remove my laptop in several countries in Europe). I love all the pockets and features and currently carry a second screen in addition to my laptop with plenty of space for files, etc. After three years of heavy use, the bag still looks brand new!"

"This is a nicely crafted, excellently designed computer backpack except for one little feature. There is a leather strap across the top of the back of the bag that makes it somewhat painful carry across my shoulder. I'm not sure why the strap of leather is there because it doesn't seem to serve any function other than to restrict the shoulder straps. Other than that, this is a great bag and was very organized for my needs."

"Looks are very important in my business. This laptop bag fills that requirement without question.
I carry a Mac Power Book 15" not problem. Also have a SLR camera with several lenses again no problem.
However the problem I have is the lack of small pockets and a place for key while I go through airport security. There is no place for smalls!
More pockets please headphones, coins, parking tickets, etc."

"I like it. Its a clean uncluttered look. Holds my computer and what I need for the day to day and looks more professional than a canvas or tech fabric pack. My back doesn't tolerate carrying something asymmetrically, so I need to use a backpack, but I also need to have a look that is somewhat less casual than a college student! Am happy with it and yes, it goes through TSA security checks efficiently."
