Pros

  • Osprey Quasar, North Face Jester. Not sure if the best, but really solid.
  • also my north face jester is good (but I think the other one is “cooler”)
  • The North Face Jester is a college classic - you can find [some colors/styles](https://www.amazon.com/North-Face-Womens-Jester-Marron/dp/B0823VWHXL) for as low as $50.
  • The north face Jester or Borealis seem to tick the boxes.
  • You might check out the North Face Borealis or Jester. They both have a decently sized laptop slot, admin area(small organizational pockets)

Cons

  • some (Jester, Vault, Framework) don't do the separate laptop compartment and maybe you like it anyway.
  • I have a North Face Jester from work. I like it fairly well but hate the lack of organization and how putting stuff in the front pocket makes it floppy.
  • I love my north face jester but the shape is a bit weird. Parent context: When the upper front pocket is filled, the big pocket becomes wider on the bottom and less wide on the top and that makes it weird to me xD
  • My current bag is a North Face Jester backpack which is great except for the following pain points... I use the small pocket extensively... It's extensive use makes accessing the main compartment of the bag really tricky... I don't love...
  • I really liked the ergonomic fit of the Jester, it was super comfortable, but it just didn't hold enough.

My current bag is a North Face Jester backpack which is great except for the following pain points... I use the small pocket extensively... It's extensive use makes accessing the main compartment of the bag really tricky... I don't love the material of the back mesh - mine has started pilling and rubbing against the material of my shirts... It's really comfy!
