Question Ranking
Pros

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 Straps can be stowed away
The straps can be zipped away, giving the bag a slimmer profile (more suitcase-like), and protects the straps from damage.
Pro Three-dimensional zippered pockets for organization
Two pockets inside the main compartment are three dimensional, acting as built-in packing cubes.
Pro Padded carry handles
There are two padded grab handles, one at the top and the other at the side.
Pro Attachments for a daypack
Reinforced loops allow you to attach a daypack to the front of the Porter (designed specifically for the Daylite Pack).
Pro Stowaway harness
They quickly hide away in a zippered pouch to protect that harness when stowed, or to keep them out of the way when navigating tight places.
Cons
Con Hip belt sold separately
There is a hipbelt available for the Minaal, but it will be sold separately.
Con Only one external pocket
The only external pocket is the front panel organizational compartment for papers, tablets and a laptop.
There are no pockets for food or anything else you may want quick access to.
Con Minimal support makes it uncomfortable to wear for long periods
The padding on both the shoulder straps and hip belt is quite light. Especially when heavy, the straps can dig into your shoulders and become uncomfortable.
Con No internal compression straps
There are no straps in the main compartment to help secure your belongings, so they may shift while traveling.
