I have bought the pack for the transportation of my 14 "laptop. It has immediate appeal by the striking good build quality (although made in China). In addition it offers over aschend (even after reading already gang Ender reviews) lots of space. For daily use can one next to the laptop into getting even 2 file folders in the large compartment. Alternatively, fit a winter jacket into it completely. I recently mitgehabt the backpack as a test on a business trip (one night) as a single piece of luggage. Enough space for a second gear clothes and toiletries bag he has! Small pockets for cables, adapter, DVDs, MP3 players, mobile phones etc are also available. The two side pockets for beverage bottles, however, are limited with full interior usable, ie for max. 0.5 liter bottles. Small drawback: it is packed quite expansive, one should not enter a china shop so ^^. If you want to take him full in a lecture or in a meeting room, one needs to have an extra space to deposit the backpack. Packed one notices also eventually the weight, despite the wide shoulder straps.
Crux remains, however, much place inside it, laptop is safely stowed, comfortable fit and good workmanship. If you do not fully grabs him, can you add to this that front compartment fold, thus reducing the size.
