This bag has proven to be better than I expected. I was looking for a carry-on bag that included a compartment for safe laptop storage. In the past I had always carried a separate laptop case, but I find it to be a waste of a carry-on, and it gets very bulky carrying a laptop bag and a rolling upright.
This bag is the best answer. It has plenty of room for personal belongings, a protective area that fits even my 17" widescreen laptop, and room in the back for files, computer accessories, shoes, or more clothing. I used it when the Navy moved us from Norfolk to Honolulu and was able to fit my computer, almost a week of clothes, and all the personal documents we needed to keep safe during the move. I couldn't be more pleased.
