As for the usefulness of the pack itself, it's pretty well organized in terms of compartments. The laptop area is sufficient, I would suspect for laptops up to 17", but probably not larger. My 17" fits just fine, though it is just on the snug side. There are plenty of access flaps to various compartments, though I do have one beef with the design. In the rearmost compartment, it is divided into 3 separate 'pockets' of space - one for a laptop and 2 more for binders, paper, etc. You can access all 3 from the back flap, right above the laptop pocket, or from the next zippered opening in front of that pocket. It makes it appear like there are 2 separate storage areas, when it's really 2 openings to the same space. To me, I just don't see the need to add the additional opening, but that's just my preference. I like the small pouch at the top of the bag when traveling - when it's time to hit a security checkpoint, I pull any metal I may have - change, keys, etc. out of my pocket and put them in that pouch. They are easy to retrieve after clearing security. The front pouch has the usual little pockets for misc. items, plus pen/pencil holders. Two water bottle pouches on either side of the bag can handle up to 1 liter bottles of water, though a slightly smaller bottle is a better fit.
The bag is fairly spacious, but not over-sized. I've used this for a day pack while taking walking trips and packing food, jackets, a camera and other misc. stuff. It's capable of holding more than it would appear to hold at first glance.Fully loaded, the pack is comfortable enough for me to carry all day. The straps are well padded and the breathable mesh on the back of the pack as well as the straps make for a more comfortable fit. Also, I'm a big guy - 6'1". I sometimes have trouble finding packs that have sufficient strap length for someone my size - that's no problem here. My wife, at almost a foot shorter, could easily adjust the pack to fit her if needed. Even fully loaded, this was comfortable to carry - assuming you're not carrying lead bricks. There is a handle at the top of the pack that makes grab and go or retrieval from a luggage bin much easier.
Build quality is great. It's not water-proof or even water resistant as far as I can tell, but it's a good sturdy material that should hold up for awhile. The zippers seem to be heavy duty and good quality - having dealt with faulty zippers in the past, that's one of the first things that catch my attention. The pack looks nice, which is always a bonus.
Overall, this is one of the better packs of this type I've ever owned. I'm considering buying a second just to make sure I have it if this one ever wears out. 5 stars for me.
If I could design a perfect backpack, I would start with this one and change only a few things. I don't care about USB charging ports, you can push your charging cable through the headphones port on the front pocket - keeping your battery charger in one of the smaller dividers. I do wish it had a luggage strap on the back, but there are other ways to strap a bag on top of a wheeled carryon. I personally don't travel with a laptop so I have no use for the lay-flat rear laptop zippered section that other backpacks have. I like the way this has a zipper above the padded computer sleeve in the back, for easy access to whatever you have in that section. A "hidden" pocket on the back would be nice, for passports or money. I have always been a little puzzled at the two zippers that access the same main rear pocket, it would make more sense if the laptop section was completely separate since it has its own zipper.
Overall it's a well made, comfortable, versatile backpack. I expect it to perform well for many years to come.
Fast forward to now where I am currently in college and let me just say...wow. 4 years later and it's still holding up extremely well. I am finding no signs of damage or fraying. all the zippers are still intact zipping fine. Currently the back pack has a 15.6 inch laptop in it with 3 textbooks (all paperback thank god), a 300 page novel, 5 notebooks and folders, as well as pencils, pens, my sony MDR-XB950BT headphones, a 1.5L water bottle, my laptop charger, a mouse, a portable phone charger, a graphing calculator, deodarant, and still has a tiny bit of space for maybe 2 smaller notebooks. I even use the side straps to carry a lunch box around campus. As you can imagine, the bag is pretty full, but it's still relatively easy to take stuff in and out of the bag quickly without too much hassle.
I've even taken this on trips hiking in California and chicago. I love taking this bag on planes because of how much you can cram into it. It's also super easy at security checks because of the laptop access sleve that you open that lets you slide your laptop in and out without any hassle. Now it's not the best hiking backpack, I only used it because I didn't have my actual hiking bag on me and I was offered to go on a short 15 mile hiking trip in the mountains. It held up very well holding water, some snacks, and some other random supplies that I didn't feel like taking out of my bag. Would have been nice to have a chest or waist strap. Wouldn't reccommend it for longer hikes but for short hikes it's actually not half bad.
All in all great, durable bag for you college students, high schoolers, or even people who like to travel on planes. Very sturdy, spacious, and good looking. Well worth the $30 spent.
TL:DR
Pros:
-Lots of room for textbooks and a laptop
-durable
-padded back/straps
-side straps to tighten bag/make it smaller
-Very durable
-Low profile
-4 main compartments plus an easy access laptop compartment zipper thing
-Easy access valuables pouch.
-Really slick looking
Cons:
-No waist/chest strap
-Tough time holding water bottles more than 1 liter
-Wearing for long periods of time (30 min plus) the straps tend to dig into your sides making it very uncomforable. Only when loaded to the brim mind you
