Don't like the new version
The previous version was nice since I could put a lot of items in both pockets no problem. When I fill this new version it creates a top-heavy "P" shape profile while constricting access to the bottom since the front pocket is halved.

Perfect for every day, but tight!
I snagged the Canyon Dust Dark Heather color before it discontinued, and LOVE the color. I like all of the pockets that this has, including the stretchy mesh pocket on the front. The two side water bottle pockets actually can fit pretty large cups or even a makeup bag. I definitely feel like my laptop/ipad feels secure and safe in the laptop pocket. The pros: This backpack is quality and will last you years. It's perfect for daily use if you need to carry a laptop, mouse, book, notebook, pens, water bottle, headphones, Switch, etc. The mesh pocket can hold small accessories, chargers, or a small jacket/shirt, and the hoops on front allow you to snap different accessories on to it, if necessary. The two water bottle pockets can fit large water bottles or even a thick small makeup bag. The cons: The pockets can get tight pretty quick, so you have to be strategic about where you place things if you need to pack a lot. For example, if you bulk up the stationery half-pocket, you will not be able to bulk up the large middle pocket up to its full extent. If you aren't in need of the tech pocket in the back, I recommend looking at a different model. The tech pocket backing is quite stiff, which is great for protection, but means it back pocket will not expand backwards, so it's limited in space. Additionally, this backpack does have to lean on something. The mesh pocket will look a little saggy with small accessories in it. This doesn't bother me, but some people may not like the look of it. Overall, I think this backpack is fantastic for people who need to bring a moderate amount of stuff with them. I do not recommend this to people who require a lot of bulk.

Every day
This is my every day backpack. With 2 kids I love the front pouch for snacks so they don't go digging through the rest of my bag.

I would recommend this backpack for anything!!
It is so good , very durable and has a lot of storage. Only downside is the straps are stiff when new, but once you wear them for the long break in time it is very comfortable. Good purchase!!
