This is the second time I've bought this backpack. Not because there was an issue, but because I love it. On the left of the image is the first one I bought a little over 10 years ago. It traveled all over North America with me while I was a software trainer. Carried my laptop, additional cables, clothes, etc. It's roomy enough that on short trips, this was all I used to carry my stuff. After that I've used it to carry around my D&D equipment. About 7-10 books, notepads, dice, Lenovo Legion laptop, etc. Over time, the elastic has stretched out and there are tears. I decided to replace it with the exact same one because it's an amazing backpack. I've been extremely rough on the first one and it held up well. The old one is still usable, just really beat up.Buy this backpack. You won't regret it.
