Timbuk2 Showdown Laptop Backpack

I compared a lot of backpacks before purchasing this... I was aiming for a sturdy yet still aesthetically pleasing backpack that could serve me well & tow plenty -whether with a few things in one day (and not be crazy loose-yay bottom straps!) or with tons on a trip to Uganda. And this bag does it!!

No matter how much I've put in it so far, it remains comfortable... all previous bags I've had are very uncomfortable when toting my laptop or other weighty item-but this one distributes the weight pretty perfectly. And doesn't come forward onto your head if you lean over!

The only criticism I'd give at this point is that the zipper on the bottom right front pocket is a bit cut off -if it went an inch or two higher it would be easier to use and access that particular pocket.

Otherwise totally satisfied.

It's a little smaller than I thought it would be.

Overall, very pleased. The different pockets make it really convienent on my daily commute. The external pocket that goes the length of the backpack is perfect for an umbrella. 15 inch laptop fits great, but too small for my 17 inch laptop.

Very comfortable backpack.

I used this backpack for my mac book pro 13. I got stuff for my mac book and stuff like small umbrella, pens etc. I will buy again and recommended to anybody. The backpack itself is so light.

The pack has the right idea ... I wanted a few smaller pockets to organize the things I carry on business trips. However, I found the pockets on the front to be too small to be practical. One (bottom right as you look at the pack) was so small I could just barely get my fingers in it; I found that to find the item I wanted I had to empty the contents, sort around, then put everything else back. Take those same pockets and change the aspect ratio so they open at the top and go across the width of the pack, and it might be a keeper.

It's also maybe a lefty's quibble, but the one-side-only access to the laptop pocket was awkward for me. I'd have preferred that it opened from the top (or the other side). That said, I liked the red lining.

On the plus side, I liked the overall profile of the pack, a little slimmer than my old one. It seems like it would fit well under an airplane seat. And it's large central pocket would have worked well. I didn't go over it too carefully, but construction quality seemed fine.

While I had some personal differences with the design and wound up returning the pack, for others it would quite likely work well.
