I think I'd buy it if the flat side of the bag was against my back when carrying it as a backpack. I like the pockets for both laptop and tablet.
I've got one of these a like it a lot.
The handles aren't plastic. They are made out of webbing that is covered by the main body fabric. The carry design as mentioned above is to not have the dirty bottom of the duffel against your back.
The backpack straps are in front of the pockets. They do not block access to the organizer panel/laptop pocket or the main bag.
