After looking for the right pack for months...
...this one is as close to perfect as I can imagine.
Bags are tricky, really tricky. This one gets most of it right:
The right laptop size (15 inch MacBook), comfortable build, straps that aren't designed to scale Annapurna (this is a good thing), and all the right zips in all the right places.
Using this pack makes me realise how over-designed my previous pack was - too many clips and zips.
This one it the great if you like simplicity meeting utility, particularly if you get the camera insert too. It's ideal for storing a couple of bodies and a lens (I fit the Leica Q, and the Leica SL fitted with a small vintage lens... using an Urth adapter of course 😃).
It's impossible to cater to every need, so the following is simply an observation:
If you've filled up the top section with notebooks and a sweater, AND you have a laptop in there too, and you reach to get a camera out of the insert in the bottom, it can be difficult to open up split in the bag wide enough to get out a fairly chunky camera body. I had to take my sweater out of the upper compartment first. It's not a big deal, but it means that you can't just grab your camera in an instant when you've a full load. If this is a big deal for you, get the Norite pack instead.
I got the ash grey version. It's fresh and modern, and pairs great with the core camera strap. That's what I told my wife, and after rolling her eyes, and taking a good look, she did indeed agree with me.
A quick note on delivery, and probably…

Absolutely ZERO regrets!
Only had this for 24hrs. Switched from a 5.11 to this as I need a more tech focused backpack now I’m 100% office bound. This is absolutely brilliant. Love the 1/2 main compartment pockets. Good side & top pockets for other essentials. The tech pockets for the laptop, (actual paper) pad or tablet and pen/accessories etc are well thought out. Build quality is A+ the materials used, zips and the carry handle will handle anything.
The only thing it’s missing but I knew that before I brought it, is a dump pocket externally for a water bottle. However the overall foot print of the bag is perfect so I will live without it (and I don’t really need one.
The thing I’ll missing from my 5.11 backpack is plastic squeeze release buckles that are on the shoulder straps - but that is a rare AF feature on bags in general.
