Sympl Commuter

I use my cpp2 xpac as my daily bag and sympl commuter as my work backpack . The sympl does not have a separate tablet sleeve but it fits inside and the mini iPad fits in the tech compartment.

Sympl Commuter and Tomtoc UrbanEX are worth looking into.

I really wish they had some organization features in there, like the CTB26 or the Sympl Commuter.

I came to recommend the Sympl Commuter as well!

Aer CPP2 or sympl commuter both are 24L. Try with discounts/black friday offers and should be possible below 200usd.

I have the commuter and the Able Carry, those two are great one/two punch. One for everyday one for travel.

I think for the money, the Commuter V2 is tough to beat. But if you hate slightly stiff back panels, then that probably doesn’t work for you.

it's a wonderfully designed bag! If you don't mind your laptop and tablet sharing space, it'll definitely fit in the laptop compartment -- or there is a slip pocket for a tablet in the main compartment. I do think that the Sympl might be overkill for my own daily work carry (unless I'm bringing lunch or gym clothes) but would be perfect for travel. It's very structured and burly, the main compartment is spacious and easy to pack
