Osprey Nebula

Pros

• the Nebula is a good all rounder (with a lovely laptop compartment too).
• my flatmate has the Nebula which is amazing
• The Osprey Nebula is another favourite of mine but it is a bit overkill for me personally for day to day stuff.
• Nebula is a great in between with more pockets than the comet and lighter than the Tropos. I don’t think the clam shell laptop pocket is useful at all cause TSA still tells ya to take the laptop out.
• That said, I don’t think this is popular, it just seems like a really good backpack for the purpose. They had a plain black one and he felt that that was good enough in terms of fitting in.

Cons

• while the Nebula seems better for my storage needs, it seems a bit bulky (especially on days where I only have to carry my Laptop).
• I won’t be travelling far with it but I value laptop protection, comfort and ease of use. Don’t want to break the bank and have been looking at: Osprey nebula
• I think the Osprey Nebula is noticeably higher quality than the Northface Surge. But I found it annoying to acess the laptop compartment on the Nebula.
• I also have an Osprey Nebula, but it's too small for what I need to carry.
• Osprey has the Nebula and Tropos
