can I use this pack as a day pack to commute, I'm looking for a little bigger pack (30Ltr), my only requirement is a laptop compartment?

Yes you can. no seperate laptop compartment, but with a hard top laptop sleeve you can handle this tiny problem, thats what I did.

Yes the pack was for my son and it can carry a lot. He uses it for school , books, laptop& his hoodie/sweater all can fit inside. I guess it will depend on the size or thickness of the jacket

you can but the bag does not have a cover or much padding. I don't think I would carry my laptop in there all the time. In a pinch it would fit but not a bag that I would carry it all the time. There are no slots or compartments on the inside so other stuff would have to be on top or underneath.

My 13" laptop fits in the bag with not much room to spare. I think I would put a laptop in a separate sleeve as there is minimal padding but then I usually do that anyway for peace of mind. Haven't used the panniers much but they are sturdy enough and adequate for my needs for a reasonable price.

It is a great pack, but it is just big enough for travel purposes that it would be overkill for everyday use.

The Swiss army backpack has the room for your laptop. I like the distribution of the compartments. But it is not rain proof. If it rains, water can get through. So , just be careful

I believe two laptops would fit snugly in the pocket, which extends across the width of the pack and the length also. The pocket would accommodate a 1-1/2" thickness.

While it's not INTENDED for computers, since it obviously has no padding, if you're VERY careful you can absolutely carry 15" laptops in it. My daughter sometimes commutes to college on the train with her very heavy 17+" laptop...so far so good (2.75 yrs)!

The tablet compartment in the front pocket is too small for my Dell XPS13, which I keep (in a leather sleeve) in the back of the main compartment (there is a divider with an elasticized opening). I keep my Logitech N315 portable lapdesk behind the laptop for a little extra protection, but the padding on the back of the pack is pretty solid. So, for daily business use I keep the laptop and lap desk in the back of the main compartment, along with a ~1.5" thick full letter sized padfolio and "accessory" bag (power cables, portable mouse etc) in front of the divider. The tablet compartment in the front pocket easily fits my iPad (4th generation) in its' keyboard hard case and I can keep pens, business cards, and a small notebook in the front pocket as well. For air travel I can fit my quart-sized bag of liquids along with the other stuff but that is about it.

Definitely, though I would recommend a sleeve for the laptop becayse there is no dedicated laptop space in the bag. There is an inner pouch against the padded back surface, but the opening is elastic drawstring tight.

There are better options on the market to carry laptops. Although the inside is plenty big enough for a very large laptop the back is not very well padded. The other issue with the pack is is the straps are very difficult to get adjusted right with that being said once they are adjusted you are good but they take some time to get adjusted right also if you do not overlap the buckles the straps will come loose. It will fit a very large laptop with no problem I carry mine now and I carry an Alienware laptop I also have a tough book that I carry as well. The construction of the pack is very well done it is stitched very well in the front is padded very well the portion that goes to your back does not have as much padding as it needs to be but it will protect a laptop

I use this pack as my daily commute when I bike into the office from Spring to Fall. With a full water bladder, I still have plenty of room for my tablet computer, clothes for the day, lunch, and all of my repair items for my bike. You should have plenty of room for jackets, snacks, etc...

It isn't made to hold those types of bulky items. You could get a laptop in it, but remember, it is a Yoga bag, not a back pack. It is meant to hold a change of clothes, a Yoga block and a pair of shoes. Plus a few small items in the outside pockets.

yes. the pack should be big enough. check the specs of your laptop vs the specs of the pack. I think it'll fit and you'll be ok.

Yes. I ride 15 miles a day to work. Fits a change of clothes, water, lunch, laptop and tire repair stuff.

No worries. You will be very happy with this bag. The only bag I have that I like more is a pelican backpack because it incorporates a hard shell for laptops. Worth taking a look at.

I just received the professional gear back pack and I can tell you that the entire bag is only 17in. tall as measured from the out side. As best as I can measure the inside lap top compartment, I can only safely say that it is 16 1/2in. tall and only 10 1/2in. wide. Given a 1.75 in. thickness for computer, it would be at tight fit for anything close to 17in. Therefor I would recommend nothing larger then a 16in. lap top. Steve.
