I thought this bag would work for me, but I'm not the target audience. While I appreciate the construction and the size of the bag, I'm not a request business traveler who has to use this bag as a mobile office. I carry a backpack along with whatever carryon I'm bringing, and in that backpack go my electronics. This bag is supposed to be an all-in-one solution to obviate the need to carry said backpack, but I don't like that. The front pockets are too bulky and stick out too far, and since I would never put a laptop in a bag that might be gate-checked I wouldn't use it for its intended purpose. Returned and will try something else.
