Cons
Con Laptop compartment located at the front
Because the laptop compartment is located at the front of the pack rather than against your back, it can make the bag feel heavier.
The laptop compartment can also curve if you pack is full, which can cause the laptop screen to crack.
Con Limited number of pockets
There isn't much in the way of pockets for organization. There are small mesh pockets inside the main compartment, and one external pocket for papers and such.
Con Minimal hipbelt
The hip belt is a single strap with no padding. It doesn't help support the weight of the backpack.
