I am on the hunt for the perfect backpack style bag for everyday carry. I want to be able to carry enough that I'm not walking around with my hands full but I also don't look like I'm going on a long trip. I'm also not really into "sporty" bags that look like you're prepping for a hike.

My Wishlist:

• Under $200 (negotiable)
• 14"+ laptop sleeve (negotiable)
• internal organization / lots of pockets
• to be large enough but not too large — I'm tall-ish for a woman at 5'9.5" / 176.5cm so small bags feel tiny sometimes but I also don't want something that will make shopkeepers nervous when I walk in with it

Current Considerations:

• bellroy Tokyo Totepack — $200
  • 20L / approx. 17 x 15 x 4
  • 15" laptop sleeve
  • nylon & polyester - made from recycled bottles, offcuts, and fishing nets
• bellroy Laneway Totepack — $160
  • 18L / approx. 15.5 x 15.5 x 6.5
  • 14" laptop sleeve
  • built-in key clip - fan of this
  • nylon and recycled fishing nets
• JULY Everyday Backpack — $145
  • 18L / approx. 11 x 13 x 7

• Quince Italian Leather Convertible Backpack — $150
  • approx. 13 x 12 x 5
  • 13" laptop sleeve
  • leather exterior, cotton twill lining
• Samsonite Mobile Solution Deluxe Backpack — $100
  • approx. 16 x 12.5 x 7
  • 15.6" laptop sleeve
  • plenty of organizational pockets
  • Bucket style opening
  • nylon with vinyl trim (meh, not a huge fan of the material)
• Samsonite NuRoad Ladies 14.1" Backpack — $190
  • approx. 16 x 13 x 7
  • 14.1" laptop sleeve
  • key fob (possible leash?)
  • plenty of organizational pockets
  • nylon & polyester
• HOBO Fern Backpack — $330
  • approx. 11.5 x 12.5 x 4
  • 13" laptop fits - no dedicated sleeve
  • one interior pocket
  • leather
