"Very roomy bag which carries a lot. The computer section is easy to get to in the airport. I originally thought that the two outside zippered sections in the back were Mickey Mouse, but in practice, I find them very useful to store travel document wallet in one and my electronic book in the other.
The only thing that I would like to see is a section inside the main compartment that would securely hold full-sized 8.5 X 11 papers. the one pocket in the main compartment is too short for that. That's the only thing that keeps me from using the bag every day. For travel it's excellent."
