What Is It: The Fjallraven Kanken 15" Laptop Backpack.

Price and Where to Buy: $110 on Fjallraven's website.

Pros:

• Hidden padded laptop sleeve on backside allows optimal space in large compartment.
• Handy front-zip backpack for easy access.
• Side pocket in main compartment to store folders, magazines etc.
• Can fit a weekend (or more) worth of clothes in main compartment.
• Two side pockets for water bottle, umbrella, etc.
• Sturdy straps with padding.
• Top handles snap together so bag can also be carried.
• Comes in over a dozen colors.
• Made of sturdy Vinylon-F material with YKK zippers.

Cons:

• Zippers can sometimes catch on the corners but with use become easier to use.
• On the expensive side for a bag or daypack.

How it Rates:

• Usefulness: 10/10. This is the only personal item I travel with now. It's great for storing a laptop and all your essentials during a short or long flight, and it doubles as a great daypack for walking around a destination.
• Value: 9/10. It's a little bit on the expensive side, but it will be the only bag you will want to travel with from now on, especially if you travel with a laptop.
• Cool Factor: 10/10. It's sleek and minimal design goes with everything and looks great with any outfit. I've gotten so many compliments on mine already.

Final Verdict: I highly recommend this backpack if you travel often and have a laptop with you. It fits a ton in the main compartment and fits nicely under the seat in front of you. For non-travel days, it's great to use as a daypack and I even took it recently on a weekend trip as my only bag, and had no problem fitting everything. Even if you just commute to work back and forth with a laptop, I would highly recommend it.
