Love this bag
I received this bag from my employer several years ago and have used it for everything since: commutes, shopping on a bike, few-day trips, formal work meetings, etc. I personally have not used the flip-back pocket when going through TSA but the bag is otherwise everything I'm looking for. It is a good mix of style and functionality with a nice clean look and plenty of space inside without being too bulky, and is durable to boot.

Mostly satisfied, previous model was much better
I had the previous model for 3 yrs which had an adjustable strap that connected the 2 shoulder straps so you could pull them together to make it more comfortable - a feature I liked but has been eliminated on this model. That broke (ripped right out of the stitching) so I got a new one. So far the new model straps are comfortable, but I haven't worn it on 2 shoulders enough yet to know for sure.
Old model had 2 large zippered pockets which I also liked as I carry 2 laptops in this bag. This model has the same pockets, but eliminates the cushion tray in the bottom of the laptop compartment (I use the TSA zipper compartment for the other laptop). So far this does not seem to be a problem.
This model also has the same two smaller zippered compartments, and also a very small front zippered pocket. These are comparable on the new model, but overall the bag is a bit shorter and not as deep (front to back) as the old model). It appears to be about 1.5" shorter and about 1" thinner, which is noticeable since I use all the space.
Side pockets are different on this model - serious drawback.
- The zippered side pocket is considerably smaller in width and height, and will not fit my hard sunglasses case I usually store there. It will also not completely hold my AC power brick for my laptop, even though it is a very small one by laptop standards.
- The other side pocket is now a "strung pouch" presumably for a water bottle, replacing the former mesh elastic pouch. While the new pouch looks better, it's far less practical and seems like things can fall out of it easily.
Top Handle - drawback!
The top handle is now attached to the upper part of the shoulder straps, slightly away from the very top of the bag. It feels sturdy, however it's somewhat awkward when you carry the bag by the handle as it leans toward you quite a bit and hits your legs as you walk rather than hanging straight down. The old model handle was in the center of the bag on top and allowed the bag to hang straight down.
Overall space - drawback compared to former model.
This bag is somewhat smaller as mentioned above, and things mostly fit in the same places as with the former model, but it's a bit tighter. The shorter height is very noticeable when the bag is on top of my rollaboard - the carry strap no longer reaches my rollaboard handle so it's a stretch to grab both. It's not adjustable either.
Padding - improvement
Lower back and shoulder blade pads seem to be improved and are very comfortable. On the old model I had a towel stuffed behind the lower back pad for additional padding which so far has not been needed on this one.
The bag is light, sturdy, and well-made, but has been slightly de-featured from the former model, but overall a great backpack.

Good pack
PROS:
Pack is broken into 3 main compartments. A laptop and small amount of books or paper work fit in the largest area. I use the middle compartment for a set of clothes when I travel and as a catch all with everyday use. The outside pocket for my easy access needs like in flight stuff (book,passport,keys,I.D.,boarding pass, etc). It seems like it is built well and I like that is stands up on its own. The Audio pocket is good for all sorts of little gadgets thumb drive, phone charger, laptop mouse.
CONS:
Its not the most comfortable pack I have ever carried. Nor is it the most roomy. If you travel heavy or like to take the kitchen sink this bag is not for you.

Lasted 3 years 4 months under heavy abuse
As the title suggests, I abuse my backpacks. I routinely have in my backpack: a 15 inch laptop (with 9 cell battery and hard drive), charger, mouse, 2.5 inch binder, and lunch (sandwich, apple, granola bar). This fits comfortably. I will often add a pair of men's size 13 gym shoes and a pair of shorts. This is a squeeze. 3 years and 4 months later the main compartment zipper gave out. I just ordered a new one.

Decent quality but design flaw
Over all I like the backpack but the bottom of the bag as zero protection. When you lay it down under a normal pace you can hear your laptop edge hitting the floor. If you use this bag on a daily basis the hits to the laptop will add up and eventually lead to damage. I unfortunately have to buy another bag now

Eco-friendly, stylish and cool
I love this laptop backpack. After a few years of carrying a bulky shoulder-strap case through airports, I am excited to be using this pack now.

High quality backpack with enough space to transport your work and personal laptops at the same time. Cup holder on the side with multiple pockets, provides a level of organization everyone desires from a backpack.

Outstanding Shape, look, and space.
The fact that it has so much space, and a great organizer and look of it makes it a great product. Not to mention that it has lower back support pad makes it a well thought out product in term of design.

GREAT FOR DAILY USE
I GOT THIS WHEN CO-WORKERS TALKED ABOUT LIKING IT. IT REPLACED MY OLD BRIEFCASE TYPE BAG, WHICH I DISLIKED. THIS ONE IS LIGHT, FITS ON SHOULDER WELL, EVEN IF NOT WORN AS BACKPACK. GREAT FOR DAILY HAULING OF LAPTOP. ROOM FOR SOME SUPPLIES, TOO.
