Pros
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.
Pro Does not turn into a black hole
Side access theoretically makes accessing items in the main compartment easier.
Pro Lots of options for external carry
Many hidden straps and ways to mount stuff to carry extra stuff.
Pro Separate laptop opening
Unfortunately not secure like the Big Belly.
Cons
Con Hip belt sold separately
There is a hipbelt available for the Minaal, but is sold separately.
