Awesome bag
This is my 3 month review. I love this pack. I’m an ER specialist and go between 14 ERs and 11 freestanding treatment centers in Florida, educating nurses and keeping our ERs up to speed. Lots of travel involved where I’m throwing my pack across to the passenger seat in my car daily, multiple times. This pack easily holds an electronic bag with cables, chargers etc, computer, 2 phones, wallet, keys, water bottles, jacket, leather folder, pens, glasses, snacks and other personal items. I have no complaints, material has zero wear, zippers holding strong and it’s comfortable to wear and looks professional. The multiple pockets/pouches allow for me to separate items for use. I abuse this bag daily and it stands up to this abuse. Highly recommend.

Technical backpack with the perfect size
Perfect size, not too small, not too big. Very technical bag, and looks durable. Always trusted Osprey. Worth the money.

By far the best daily pack I've had
I have a ton of backpacks for all different purposes but they aren't ones I can call an everyday bag because some are large, some are for photography gear etc. so I came across this Nebula, and I'm glad I did. I have carried it with me every day since I bought it, I flew with it on a work trip, and it has been great.The biggest factor of course is comfort, which this bag isn't like carrying a cushy cloud or anything, however it isn't cumbersome and it has padding in the right places to make it easy to forget you're wearing it. I've stuffed it with clothes, 2 laptops, a bunch of electronics, etc. and while it does get tight, it still manages to zip up easily and store it all.The one thing I don't really understand is why there's one "hole" covered by a flap that seemingly doesn't really serve a purpose? If anything I'd see that as a potential entry point for accidental spills or rain or whatever and it leads right into the compartment where laptops go. I haven't had an issue with it but it's strange that it's there.Apart from that I don't really have anything negative to say. The zippers are great, and as much as I've stuffed it, all the seams are in good shape and it's just an overall durable bag. Also I wouldn't necessarily recommend carrying 2 laptops in it, although you CAN it gets quite heavy and I believe a bigger bag would be better suited for that.

Well made, can handle travel or schools
Honestly, I needed a backpack for my oldest child that could stand up to high schoolers. This backpack did it so well, she is still using it at college. I bought another one for the younger child who is now in high school and it is standing up well to the rigors of a teenage boy.Its organized well, with a well designed laptop slot for his chrome book, can carry all his textbooks and papers, and has a separate, easily gotten to zippered pocket big enough for his daily planner to keep him on schedule with his myriad activities and assignments. On the outside it has a good water bottle pocket and the waist belt, while packed away most of the time, is nice if you're running through an airport and don't want it to flop around. It fits under an airplane seat, and my oldest kids bag looks almost brand new after ~4 years of abuse. We'll see if the new one does the same, but so far its looking just as strong.They aren't cheap, but you do get a great bag for the price. My wife has an older Osprey backpack built on the same design, but with a different name vs Nebula, and it has stood up to almost daily use for 8+ years. Enjoy.

Good overall
My savior for staying outside of my dorm the entire day, it helps me carry many things that I need to use throughout the entire week without worry about ever need to go back to dorm and grab the stuff. Light weight and the design helps distribute the weight so it’s not going to be heavy on you. The build quality is nice too, sturdy, tightly fit with each other, zipper feels very premium, no more worries about zipper will fall off from the backpack.

Great backpack. Poor laptop sleeve.
This nicely combines a real backpack with commuter features (laptop sleeve & organization). It's suitable for commuting, travel, or hikes. The laptop sleeve easily fits my 17" laptop but I had to deduct one star because the sleeve provides absolutely no padding or protection along the sides; just elastic material. I am using a slim laptop case because I can't risk damaging my high-end laptop. I might actually cut out the stock laptop sleeve to remove some bulk.

Stylish
The size is good for minimal trips. It’s lightweight and padded, the style is unique and cool and it’s easy to get on and off. It’s been great for commuting to school and back when I have classes that don’t require me to lug around large textbooks. It’s quite simplistic and perfect for my needs!

Built Tough with Smart Storage
Been using this for work and short trips — holds my laptop, clothes, charger, and water bottle easily. Super comfortable straps and great airflow on the back panel. Stylish color that doesn’t look overly “techy.”
