This is a great bag but but just not great for carrying a small laptop of tablet.  I was looking for something to carry around the city for commuting via the train to work and wanted something other than a back pack.  This is the perfect size but because it is so unreconstructed everything flops around and it carries funny.  The pictures on line are accurate and again it's a great back and nice that you can either carry via the shorter straps, on the shoulder, or across your body.  Just better as a large carry all if that doesn't include a small laptop.  I'm otherwise happy with the bag and will keep it - as I have other uses for it - but I'll continue in my search for the perfect laptop bag.
