Review of the Timbuk2 Uptown Laptop TSA-Friendly

All together, this is a great pack. I really like it. I just wish it was a little more flat on the bottom, it would be that much better. Otherwise this is a superbly designed pack.

The Timbuk2 Uptown Travel Backpack is an excellent travel companion, provided you’re a super light packer or have a second carry-on.

Even though I haven’t had the bag long, I can tell it’s going to last me a very long time, both due to the versatility and the quality of the bag. While Timbuk2’s bags aren’t cheap, they are designed to last forever.
