I am constantly needing a new bag for work.  I finally made an investment in this piece.  It does everything I hoped.  I have not traveled with this on airlines.  I know they have new guidelines coming out so I am not sure this will fit.  It is a great bag.  It hold my laptop, my iPad, my pens, my wifi device and several work papers.  I have been using it for a few months and it is holding up very well.
