I ordered the backpack as a satchel (school). It was important, a laptop compartment and a large main compartment. This fills the bag very well. The distribution is very well done. The second main compartment even an iPad compartment is (also fits with iPad 2 incl. Smart Cover). The laptop compartment is accessible from the side. In my opinion, better than when it is integrated into the main compartment. On the other hand there is still a back pocket, but there should be very thin things (personal organizer, ...) purely because otherwise you will notice this in the back. Color I have in Carbon: the entsprich charcoal gray - I think it's nice. BUT: The lining is claret - but sorry indeed that may match the gray, but would prefer a black or gray lining !!!!!! But there's definitely a deduction *! The hard everyday school life I have to try;) Continue to follow experience;)
Update 23/10/2012
Now I have the backpack over one year in the second - day course. The looks of nich always super, the zippers work yet properly and I'm still very satisfied. However, the comfort suffers when the backpack is heavy, because the back padding EHR is thin!
