High-end backpacks are making their way into the boardroom, and this is backpack could be an option for that setting. It's fairly lightweight and very stylish.

The bag is designed for a laptop to be in the pocket closest to your back. The front pocket will fit a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Leuchtturm1917-Medium-Size-Hardcover-A5-Notebook-Dotted-Pages-Black/dp/B002TSIMW4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Leuchtturm1917 Medium Size Hardcover A5 Notebook - Dotted Pages - Black</a>, as well as a couple of pens. The middle section is will hold a folder or a couple of legal pads, but it's expandable so you can place a book or two in it as well. The top of the bag has a magnetic flap. It's strong enough that I can tuck my small umbrella up under it and not have to worry about it falling out.

However, if you're looking for a bag to lug around a bunch of stuff, then this isn't the bag for you. This bag forces you to make choices about what you need for the day. Even when it's expanded, it doesn't have a huge capacity. I used to carry too much. Having this smaller bag has actually been nice because it's forced me to stop lugging items that I rarely use.

Another thing to be aware of with this bag is that it likes flat thingslaptops, tablets, legal pads. It's not so great at bulky things. I just sort of throw my cords in the middle section. I can't figure out their obvious home.

One of the other reviewers said that the bag was uncomfortable. I find this complaint very perplexing because the bag is very comfortable to me, and I've been wearing it daily for a few weeks. Perhaps the other reviewer doesn't have the weight distributed well or maybe doesn't have the straps at an appropriate length.
