The backpack is well designed and uses materials that seem strong enough to last. The "gray" bag is less bleak than it seems, the different nylon fabrics adopting different reflections depending on the light. It is really enjoyable to watch. The main zip is oversized, which should ensure a fairly long life. The main pocket is padded just right for a light laptop. My DELL Latitude 13 "E6320 is permanently in a cover of the same manufacturer, Case logic - LAPS113K - Neoprene Cover for PC / Mac Book 13" / 13,3 "- Black and is fully seated in the pocket, no lateral movement. The bag is VERY compact, there is just enough to carry a few documents and accessories (mouse, AC adapter).
