OK - not spacious enough nor truly "convertible"
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a beautiful bag with nice fabric and great structure. However, when loaded with my laptop and electronics, water bottle, small pouch containing purse items and a few snacks or lunch items, it is completely stuffed, and items at the bottom are inaccessible unless you take out everything else. Moreover, as I have several of these "flatter tote style" technology backpacks, I have grown to appreciate loops on the sides or handles so as to add a strap and convert it to a crossbody, which this backpack does not have. Because of these issues, I only recommend this product if you travel to work by car rather than mass transit.

Great Laptop bag not bulky
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m very happy with my purchase because the material is very sturdy. It may look small but I was able to fit my laptop, ipad and my personal stuffs and TSA allowable liquids, and my Owala 32oz tumbler fits the side pocket so I don’t have to carry additional purse when I fly. It’s very comfortable at the back as well I think this bag is perfect for people who’s always on the go
