I bought this bag a couple years ago and I have used it daily as a consultant for my 17" HP laptop. I have taken it on planes and rolled it just about everywhere in all kinds of weather. It is great for work. However, once you have laptop, some folders, maybe ipad and power cords, etc. there is not room for anything else so don't buy it if you're looking for carryon for other items like clothes and things. But for freelancer going into multiple offices and to events, it's perfect. I have put it through alot and it's in perfect working order no issues at all. Plus it looks sharp and I get tons of compliments!
