This bag has been overall exactly what I expected. Larger than my old bag, but not overwhelming. Lots of pockets for organizing and an easy access laptop compartment. Overall at great product. Only downside is that one of the straps was a little bit torn when I got it. I think it will be fine, and I might patch it later, but it looks a bit like a weed whacker got a little too close to the side edge of one of the straps...
