It has seen a few continents since it's purchase in 2011 and has some light wear but no fraying or anything broken. Still works as new. It's a great bag, I'm just not traveling for work any more.
The middle compartment has a very protective, removable sleeve for a 13x9" laptop with room for accessories. The outer compartments provide room for 1-2 days worth of clothes, toiletries, a jacket, etc. This is a great carry-on bag, either a primary for a short trip or for back up clothes for your check-in gets lost (it saved my butt at least once when my check-in got delayed).
