Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Straps integrate into the bag structure for strength
Rather than the shoulder straps only being stitched on to the pack, they are connected with the same piece of fabric used on the back of the pack. This adds strength/durability to the shoulder straps.
Pro Includes raincover
A raincover comes with the pack.
Pro Stowaway straps make it easier to fit the bag in small compartments
The straps can be zipped away, giving the bag a slimmer profile (more suitcase-like), and protects the straps from damage.
Pro Zippers can be pocked to keep your contents safe
There are locking zippers on both the main compartment and laptop compartment. The zippers are close enough together that you can use the same lock for both.
Pro Lots of internal organization options
Two pockets inside the main compartment are three dimensional, acting as built-in packing cubes.
Cons
Con May not be available everywhere
www.crumpler.eu doesn't list it, and it does not appear in the usual suspects (i.e. Amazon). It might need to be ordered from Australia and shipped.
Con Laptop compartment is not seperate from main compartment
In the Big Belly the laptop compartment cannot be opened whilst worn, protecting the laptop to a degree.
Con Hip belt sold separately
There is a hipbelt available for the Minaal, but is sold separately.
