Room for keys and plenty of other daily trinkets. If you want, there’s room for a few other papers or maybe a thin notebook in the laptop compartment, or you can have that spot designated solely for your electronic device and make use of the other pockets for other items. My girlfriend stashes postcards in there to save them from getting smashed.

There’s room for a laptop up to 16 inches, which is plenty to accommodate almost every laptop on the market. The suspended and padded pocket maximizes protection for your laptop, even if you need to sprint to catch a bus or are running late for a meeting. In the Aer Tech Pack 2, the laptop compartment is completely separate from the main compartment and has its own zipper. This means you’ll have to open the main zipper to reach the laptop, and if your bag is super full, you might even need to take out a few things to extract your device. Many backpacks have a laptop compartment that’s tucked on the back of the main compartment. Not only does the Aer Tech Pack 2 meet this prerequisite for tech packs, but it goes above and beyond.

In other words I wanted to have a “business” compartment and a separate one for my sweaty training gear (or a few sets of clothes, when travelling). High durability (of fabric and zippers), a simple look, sufficient space for fitness clothes and business stuff and, the hardest part, separation of the two things.

The reasons for this are simple: My work requires me to be in close proximity to a laptop, which in return requires an HDMI connector and a charging cable, and I like to do sports.Īfter a long successful relationship with a few off-brand backpacks I was ready to invest the big bucks, because I knew what I wanted: In 95% of my commutes I carry a backpack. But from time to time - when my personal requirements meet a great product - I fall in love. I’m on a constant journey of reducing my belongings, so writing reviews seems counter-intuitive.
