Most 15.6" and smaller laptops will work fine (especially slim non-gaming models), but if my gaming laptop was as thick as most gaming laptops are, it probably wouldn’t have fit. Inside the laptop compartment is also a small padded area for your phone or sunglasses or something of similar size. The side pocket is RFID blocking, so it’s a good spot to stow a wallet or other similar items. The main compartment fully opens, and has two soft pockets in the outer liner, two inner pockets (perfectly sized for the laptop power bank or a laptop charging brick or other similar items. The red pull tab gives access to the tablet storage sleeve, your iPad or similar items won’t be loose in the main compartment but rather are snugly stored in a soft sleeve there. My 12.9" iPad Pro with a case fits snugly in here. The rest of the main compartment can hold the camera and/or tech bag, or packing cubes of your choice. I easily fit my toiletries bag and two days of clothes for my trip, and the easy open design made getting through TSA a breeze. The bottom of the bag has a bit of extra padding. The shoulder straps are comfortable, and I love the extra carry handle in the center of the back of the bag. The back is padded and ventilated, and never felt too hot or uncomfortable. On one side is a soft elastic water bottle holder. Being the healthy person I am, I tested it with a 20 oz. Coke Zero and it fit perfectly.
