This bag is so gorgeous and quality throughout that I can forgive that it has hardly any room for much beyond your laptop. (Not for students, unless all their "paperwork" is online.) My 15" ASUS laptop fits easily in the well-padded laptop pocket. The power cord/brick has to go into the middle section, which is only wide enough for one thick book even if expanded. I do like the fleece lined pocket for a mini tablet or Kindle, as well as the inner zippered pocket, inner RFID pocket and leather loops for pens and cords. It even comes with a key ring with a hook that can be attached to one of the loops. But if I fill these pockets plus the outer half-pocket with too much stuff, the bag might not even close since it doesn't stretch at all. If I'm going to the gym, I need a separate bag for change of clothes and makeup pouch. So this bag is only for the lightest of travelers - laptop, money, phone and not much else.

For me, the back straps are very comfortable, as is the leather covered handle. The zippers are smooth and sturdy and everything about this bag feels like it will last forever. I'm not fond of how the RFID outer pocket has a side instead of top zipper; it forces me to tilt the bag sideways to keep money and credit cards from falling out when opening. But that's just a minor thing and I still love this bag.
