Timbuk2Q Laptop Backpack 2.0

This bag is GREAT! As a college student, I only need to carry my laptop, charging cords, a notebook or two, calculator, pencils, keys, and wallet. So why would I purchase an oversized backpack with hundreds of pockets when I could just buy a simple, light bag like this one? Especially if I'm just wearing it around campus?I searched for hours for a bag that was...well, simple--both in terms of storage AND looks. And I think this one fits that expectation perfectly. I would also recommend taking a look at the other bags this company sells.Space:At first, I was a little worried about the minimalistic design/feel of this backpack, but it holds everything I need. I have a 15.6 inch laptop with a protective sleeve, and it fits perfectly inside the laptop compartment. It's a little snug, but I've never had an issue with it not fitting. In the main pocket, there is room for a textbook and a couple of notebooks. There's even a nice little sleeve for a tablet. The front pockets of this bag make it easy to organize all of my smaller/essential items. It makes it easier to find things quickly when I need them.Weight and support:Even at maximum capacity, this bag is not heavy at all, and everything feels very secure. That was an issue I ran into with my old bag, so this was one of the first things I noticed. However, the part of the bag that rests against my back seems slightly stiff. I guess this just encourages me to stand with perfect posture, haha.Travel:I would definitely use this backpack as a carry-on bag in an airplane. There isn't much space inside, of course, but I know my laptop and other important belongings would be secure--which is important for travel. However, I wouldn't use it for carrying clothes/toiletries/etc., but that doesn't matter to me since I intend to use this bag for day-to-day activities as a student.Would not:I would not recommend this bag to someone who needs to carry an above-average amount of items. Lastly, I wouldn't recommend this bag to someone who is looking for an overnight bag or an outdoors/utility backpack.

Great size and functionality. Kept this over a few others I looked at. Great for commuters and 1-2 day business trips. Seems Well made

Have been using this backpack for a year now. Still in like new condition and use it to commute daily. Initially bought it because fits my 16” laptop comfortably, but great commuter bag. Holds a lot but is compact.

I would not change a thing. This is exactly what I needed for my hybrid work schedule. I couldn’t have dreamed up a better design.

This bag looks pretty, has good compartments but has some flaws as well: It is not spacious at all compared to its size, it might be tall and lengthy if you are not tall yourself :), last but not least: It doesn't stand on its own and falls forward all the time.

Looks great, slim profile, and is perfect as a personal time. The only thing I have trouble with is the back padding is not as comfortable as you'd think especially with a large laptop. The shoulder straps seem pretty small, and I am only 5'8" but they work good enough as a commuter bag. Also for any fellow engineers who carry around a massive 17.3 inch Dell engineering laptop, yes it does fit, but barely. Also, I don't know what review said they don't have YKK zippers, they definitely come with YKK zippers.

I bought this bag to be my every day/ travel bag.It makes taking laptop out at TSA a super easy task. The compartments are very sturdy and they keep everything in there place without bulking up.The other super surprising part was that my 32oz Camelbak bottle actually fit which I didn't think it would initially.Highly recommended

Dislike quality. returned
