Work perfect for my use case as a traveling tecogi
Setup is great fits my laptop and all accompanying equipment and the from pocket is easy to get to on the run. Would give this 5 stars if the carry strap was padded and had better connection. would be nice if they were metal and the strap was padded. Great quality and exactly what you'd expect for MR

Multi-Function
This is a great pack for laptop carry. There is plenty of padding in the sleeve and lots of pocket options for the other small things you need on a daily basis. I like being able to switch from a shoulder strap to the backpack straps, but also having the two hand carry straps is a thoughtful addition too. I also like that it stands on it's own when you set it on the ground. This makes for easy access and you don't have to zip it shut all the time. With no computer, I don't carry this bag just because it has a ton of padding and feels bulky otherwise. I'll be trimming the backpack straps down, they are a bit excessive for me, but that's the only change I'd recommend.

Great for airline travel
Great bad for air travel. Holds a laptop, light jacket, book, water bottle, and all manner of small miscellaneous items. The luggage pass through is great when you have it loaded heavy and don’t want to use the shoulder strap or switch to backpack mode. I agree with others, the stroller strap could use some padding, that’s the only reason it gets 4 stars. The tigers eye color is much better in person than the pictures online. Saw it in the store and had to have it.

Great Lightweight Commuter Bag
I needed a lightweight messenger bag for work and travel, and the fact that this one could be converted into a backpack was a huge plus. It's about half the weight of the Swiss Army backpack I was using earlier, with a nifty high-tech quick clasp and waterproof zippers, so it's perfect for what I need. Great color, as shown. The only downsides I note is that it's a tight squeeze to fit my 15.6" laptop (but it does fit) and there are no easy access pen or phone pockets (but several square-ish interior pockets).

A+ Briefcase
I want to buy another one just in case. This has replaced my work bag and my travel bag because the contents carry so well in briefcase or backpack mode and it can dress up or down. Absolutely well thought-out and solid design with a quality comparable to my 3-way assault packs and ruck. I see the simple shoulder strap as a positive for being lightweight and unobtrusive even though I use it every day with 10-15lbs.

Very durable
I've owned and use this bag for 10 months at a new position at work. It has been an everyday essential and held up fantastically. I work in construction and this bag rides in a work truck or is in a tool trailer 4 days a week and you really can't tell. I replace boots every year but I think this bag will last several.

Great expandable bag for work or travel carry-on
I’d give it 4.5 stars if half-stars were available. Very happy with this as an everyday bag, and that I can expand it so I can take some larger things to/from work. I went to Mystery Ranch 3way from a black messenger bag with mollee loops and velcro that looked too tactical/military. I prefer it as a should bag for everyday use, and as a pack for being an overnight bad. As a travel carry-on I prefer it as a should bag so I can throw it on top of my rolling bag and not have lots of strap to get hung up while traveling. I went with the Tiger’s Eye color so it doesn’t get lost in the sea of black luggage. Plenty or organizational space, but could probably use a specific pen/pencil holder. Well built with good materials. Two things it really needs - Padded should strap when in messenger-bag mode, similar to the backpack straps, or as a removable option. If it is full of heavy stuff it is uncomfortable to carry for very long. It also could use a built-in business card / luggage ID holder that is obvious but doesn’t expose the name/ID of the owner.

Great organization
Just bought this and so far it holds all my work items with room for more. Only reason it’s not a 5 star is shoulder strap could be better.

Great Gift!
I bought this as a gift for my brother, and he has appeared to really like it. I did take into consideration the review from 5 months ago about the shoulder strap, so as a precaution I also sent him a sling.

Are the dimensions posted the expanded or unexpanded dimensions? I'm interested to know what the unexpanded dimensions are from corners to corners.

Laptop storage actual size? Do you have the actual dimensions for the laptop pocket? Not all, 15 or 17" laptops are the same size, so the real dimensions would be very helpful. Thanks!
