I bought this as a computer bag and it does well.  I have a rollaboard bag from my days as a road warrior but now that I'm retired. that one is  just too bulky and I have no need to carry as much.  This is big enough for my computer (17" screen), power supply, Kindle, and a couple of books or files plus a small purse, so it fills the bill for me.  Great for carrying on a plane when the number and size of carryons can be a problem.  I wish it had a few more compartments, there is one zippered on the outside and one on the inside, plus two pretty small open pockets on the inside; but for the price it's fine.
