> 3 dayIve been using this for over a week now and Ive really grown to like it. At first, I had a few issues with it b/c its thin (by design) and theres no real room to spare. However it really does have the space you need, even if you have several peripherals, you just need to pack it differently than wider backpacks. To put it in perspective, I keep my IBM Thinkbad, a logitech trackball, a hyperdrive USB hub and a 1TB usb Drive, along with the charger and cable. In addition I keep a few pens, business cards . The outer pocket has one seperater in it and lets you pack away pens, business cards, a few extra phone charging cables and small items. Its great. Also, the outer part of it is reinforced so its quite strong (but also padded so that you get a good bit of extra protection without having to worry about it being too rigid. You can slide your computer in the primary pouch and unless you have an oversized laptop itll probably be just fine. Id recommend just double checking the size before ordering. It also has two pockets on the sides that will let you keep your chargers, USB drives, extra cables and the like. Once you get used to it, you can quickly pack and unpack it very quickly. In addition, Id just note a few general items about it. The zippers are really strong but they are still easy to open and close. They are really strong. There are four pockets outside of the primary one but they have compartments in two of them to let you keep things organized. Its thin compared to most backpacks but the straps are very sturdy and are really comfortable. It took a little getting used to it but Ive really been glad I switched.

> 3 dayChoosed the used - like new option and received the 20L mode, and didnt realise it until comparing it the next day in a airport shop, as its exactly the same expect its smaller. Viewing the reviews make me believe Im not the only case

> 3 dayI am a big fan of Thule products and know their branded products are great quality and well made. The Crossover 2 laptop backpack is not exception. From the seam stitching to the high quality zippers, this bag certainly commands a high price. But $200+ is a little steep. The bag offers great protection and padding. And it is extremely comfortable while carrying on my work commute and as a personal item to take onto airplanes. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the bag. The quality workmanship will definitely let it last for years - even with heavy, daily use. I just can say that the price is justified when there are other great alternatives to purchase.

> 3 dayThis is probably the best backpack Ive ever had. The way its designed alone is worth it, with a number of different compartments for different items. Its especially great for anyone who travels. In the back compartment, I store my laptop. The middle compartments is good for books plus my tablet. Not to mention the hardshell case for glasses plus the front compartment good for accessories like charging cables, pens, keys (that can be put on the internal clip) and anything else you might need. The side zippered pockets are also great for water bottles, etc. Overall, even if you load up the backpack, it doesnt lose its form. I also like the fact that when you put it down, ti stands upright at all times. Some might say its overpriced. I say its worth it because it has plenty of capacity and is built to last for years.

> 3 dayThis is a great bag, but a bit expensive. Stylish, but heavy.

> 3 dayI really like this backpack... well made, plenty of room for all my gear. Compartments are easy to get to. Looks great, and I especially like how it stands up like a piece of luggage and doesnt fold over like other backpacks tend to do. I decided to take a chance on this one realizing the price point is way up there compared to others... but like many things, you get what you pay for, and in this case I have no complaints.

> 3 dayLove that the bag stands up, is sturdy, has high-quality materials (love these zippers), smart colors and textures (love the blue highlights and interior), and is thoughtfully designed. Things I would change? Just two things. 1/ I wish it were about 1lb lighter when empty. 2/ I want one small, flexible pocket for quickly dropping things into while on the move (e.g., keys, receipts, business cards)
