Timbuk2 Showdown Laptop Backpack

I love the design! My only rather big annoyance is the quality. It isn''t any better than a $20 backpack quality wise. Same wall thickness, generic questionable zippers, etc. For $100 I expect better production. For the same price I bought a different backpack with double lined walls, straps are twice as thick, and more durable zippers.

I used this backpack for my mac book pro 13. I got stuff for my mac book and stuff like small umbrella, pens etc. I will buy again and recommended to anybody. The backpack itself is so light.

The pack has the right idea ... I wanted a few smaller pockets to organize the things I carry on business trips. However, I found the pockets on the front to be too small to be practical. One (bottom right as you look at the pack) was so small I could just barely get my fingers in it; I found that to find the item I wanted I had to empty the contents, sort around, then put everything else back. Take those same pockets and change the aspect ratio so they open at the top and go across the width of the pack, and it might be a keeper.

It''s also maybe a lefty''s quibble, but the one-side-only access to the laptop pocket was awkward for me. I''d have preferred that it opened from the top (or the other side). That said, I liked the red lining.

On the plus side, I liked the overall profile of the pack, a little slimmer than my old one. It seems like it would fit well under an airplane seat. And it''s large central pocket would have worked well. I didn''t go over it too carefully, but construction quality seemed fine.

While I had some personal differences with the design and wound up returning the pack, for others it would quite likely work well.

I''m really organized, and like to keep things in their own place and this backpack is perfect for that. Each compartment is sectionalized, and for me, everything has it''s own place. Additionally it has a tablet sleeve within the laptop compartment, which is really nice. Love this backpack, and timbuk2 products!

I was tired of my big, bulky computer backpack and wanted something slimmer. The Showdown fit the bill. I use this to go to work in a typical office setting. I usually carry my lunch, umbrella, phone, notepad, pens, etc, and sometimes my laptop. I have been very pleased with this Timbuk2. It seems very well constructed and I like the organization. The laptop seems to be fairly well protected without making the backpack too bulky. The black color works well in a professional setting with work clothes. I did find that the bottle opener was a bit obnoxious for a work setting and I cut it off.
