This is a really good bag. I bought because it was on sale, my other work laptop bag didn't have a water bottle holder for coffee, and this bag has a zipper in the back that allows easy access to my laptop. When I am in meetings, or at work, my laptop is the main thing I am getting out of my bag. My other laptop bag had magnets and a zipper that made it inconvenient and clunky to remove the laptop. This bag is well constructed, a nice dark blue color (abyss), and seems durable, although it is a little on the broad side. I also like the ease of use of the slide pockets on the front of the bag, to easy place your phone/wallet in it. The hooks do take some getting used to as other uses have mentioned. It also does not have a flat bottom, but a slanted bottom. I think this encourages users to lean it against something if attempting to stand it up, preventing it from standing straight up, being unstable, and flipping over.
