I travel for work and need to carry a laptop at all times.  In addition, I try to never check a bag.  This backpack works great for overflow from my carryon suitcase while still holding my laptop, notepads, charging cords and other items needed for travel.  It is comfortbale to wear and perfect for that run through the airport to catch a connecting flight. The color is bright and distinct.  I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
