Picked up this bag when my previous one (different brand) fell apart after 9 months. I figured it would work well daily but didn't think it'd hold up through airports. I was pleasantly surprised. After several trips, it looks new. I was surprised at how much it holds, swallowed a week's worth of reports (just over a ream of paper) without a problem. That plus a medium-size laptop and all the accessories I need. It's security friendly, I  just unzip it & send it through the scanner, no pulling out the laptop. Plus, the shoulder strap seems to balance the load, making it feel less heavy. Small quibble, there is no pocket on the back panel like every bag I've  had before, wich I use to keep itineraries, boarding pass, etc. Don't like digging inside for those things. Other than that,  this bag is very useful.
