I was VERY leery about paying this much for a backpack, I'm obsessed with backpacks and have way more than one person should have...but, I have to say this is one heck of a backpack!  I like the side zipper for the laptop compartment, my laptop and iPad fit with room to spare! When you open up the accessory compartment there are actually hard cased holders in there, perfect for mouse and power cords. The thing I really like is the fact there are a lot of different places to clip carabiner clips to hold sunglasses etc.... If you need a high quality good size back pack...this is it! Comfortable to wear and it also has a waist strap which I use to secure to my carry on when going through the airport.
