I am a bit ambivalent toward the Veto bags. Build quality is great. Pocket design is meh to me. I know you are approaching this from a laptop holding point of view but please, do yourself a big favour and check the bags out in person first. I lucked into a vendor that had nearly the entire line on display. Frankly, I wouldn't give $75 for the backpack. Let alone $225. I have been looking for a bag that will do the Veto vertical storage thing for my long handled screwdrivers and six inch shaft nut drivers. NONE of the pockets on the Veto models will hold them. The backpack pockets were simply too short to hold anything like that. And I tried them right on the showroom floor. I did not check the tablet pocket since I don't carry one daily. The XL closed top bag would hold the 8 inch and six inch drivers but two inches of the shafts stick out above the pockets and with handles adding another three inches or so, they flop a LOT when the bag is opened up. The pockets are very cavernous in width and front to back depth but none of them are really set up for electricians or techs. The bags are much more generic(makes sense, appeal to the widest audience) in tool holding design and are designed to have multiple tools per pocket to hold them upright. This is okay for Channellock type pliers and and the shorter pockets will accommodate shorter nut drivers and screwdrivers as long as you don't mind them jam packed against each other in the same pocket. This is not going to happen to my insulated tools. I do NOT want them banging up against each other or anything else for that matter. So again, not knocking the Veto on quality or concept. In fact, I don't think anyone else out there I have looked at is even close to Veto in concept. I just wish they had a model geared more toward insulated and long shaft tool storage that did not have them jammed in large pockets to keep them upright. Again, I would strongly urge you to check out the Veto bags in person before you lay down the money.
