They also appreciate the well-designed pockets that can hold a lot when needed. Some love the different compartment for passports, sunglasses, and chargers. The draw of this bag is that it stores a laptop. The extra outside pocket definitely is helpful, and it can fit up to 3 laptops easily.

Love it!
This is the best backpack that I have owned. It has different small pockets, and big compartments for bigger items. It has a padded area for electronics which keeps my iPad protected. Apparently, this is a travel backpack and TSA Friendly , but I use it on daily basis. I spend most of the day out of the house, so I need to pack books, iPad, and pens for school, food containers for eating on the go , and I also pack a change of clothes for the gym, so this backpack is perfect for me. The only downside is that it doesn't have a strap for my keys. That would be great because I am always putting my keys in different pockets and then when it is time to look for them, I have to look in all the pockets to find out where I last put it.
