Hello there, am from the pocket more than convinced - my notebook fits easily and also the second compartment, which again widerrum as large as the subject by the notebook sits can be amazingly accommodate many things !!!! Whether documents, papers, folders, etc. is all no problem - even the laptop accessories will find space :-) In addition, minor things can still sorting in the front compartment, such as a notebook mouse, pens, cards or handwritten. Stickies, etc.
The bag acts not overloaded even if all compartments are filled to the brim, but still small, handy and smart.
I hope I could help some in their decision and they are afterwards as convinced and satisfied as I am!
