Timbuk2 Q Laptop Backpack,White/Gunmetal/Stop Red,M
I’m starting law school in the fall, so I needed a backpack that could withstand some abuse. I was looking for one that is relatively small, but with a large carrying capacity. I also wanted one with tons of pockets, because I love to keep things organized. I spent months (yes, I’m a huge dork) searching for the perfect backpack, and I ended up deciding on this. My final choices were a Dakine Prom Pack, The Brain Bag by Tom Bihn, Timbuk2 HAL and the Timbuk2 Q. Obviously, I chose the Q. It had the best reviews (I also went to Timbuk’s website), it came in a color I liked–brown, and it wouldn’t drown me in size. Once it arrived, I knew I had made the right choice. When I packed it full to capacity, it was still light on my back, because of the support strap across the front. It can fit everything I would need: all the contents of my purse, my laptop, my laptop cord, a huge textbook, a three-ring binder, three folders, and around a dozen pens/pencils. It might be a little small in size if you are a big guy. I had my husband try it on, and it looked tiny on him. But for a woman around 5′6”, it’s perfect.

The bag, looks really good and is worth every penny. It is nice and strong, it is waterproof and i can store 2-3 medium size books along with my laptop, and charger. It has great front organizing pockets. It is comfortable. I am impressed

This is a very nice backpack but unfortunately, WILL NOT fit a 15.6 inch wide screen laptop. Description says it will fit any 15 inch model but it looks like only a 14 inch laptop (I also tried it with) will fit.

Commuting between NYC and Stamford, CT has really done a number on my shoulders as cute as my shoulder bags are. And while traveling, I finally twisted my right shoulder and said enough. I needed something that was still stylish but got the job done and would let my shoulder heal.
This Timbuk2 bag had exactly what I was looking for in a commute bag:
* stylish and sturdy
* small enough not to dwarf a 5′2″ female
* big enough to fit my laptop, a couple of books, day-to-day gear and lunch (but if I bring breakfast and heels, I need another bag)
It was doing such a good job, that I decided to test it as my carry-on on a week-long business trip. Because some international flights back to the US are only allowing 1 carry-on/person, I was careful with what I packed. Result = fantastic!
* laptop compartment made it easy to pull out computer for security screening
* small pocket in the back was just the right size for my US currency and credit cards that I wouldn’t need overseas but would at the US airports
* bottom compartment fit charger, mouse, and number pad
* main compartment fit 2 textbooks, a notebook, hat, mittens and some food for the plane
* everything else fit in the front compartment
Not to say there aren’t any cons, but I think they’re minor:
* there are certainly situations when I need more space (as mentioned above). also my duty-free purchases were not going to fit in the bag with everything else I packed
* lint also sticks to this thing like crazy, so be prepared.
* if you get the white/gunmetal/red combo, be prepared that things show through the white cover, so not a good place for sensitive materials/items
* the white material will obviously stain more quickly than some other colors. A Tide-To-Go stick in your bag might be handy if stains will bother you
Overall, I couldn’t be more happy with how versatile this pack has been. It’s more than worth the money.

It’s a good bag, it has a lot of pockets and different spaces that you can use. However, it is not very big or comfortable. If you have a laptop in the laptop section it kind of restricts what you can take in the book section.
If you are a college or high school student and you need to carry a bunch of books and things with you, there are probably better choices out there with more space and that are more comfortable. If you are just a day to day user who just needs a nice laptop bag with a little more space, then this is probably for you.
Hope this helps.
