I also wish they included some kind of compression mechanism for the bag itself. This particular bag gets... baggy. The Mother Lode has great external compression straps that let you cinch down the outside of the bag. Appearing more compact is a big part of flight attendants letting you take bags onboard

With just an iPad or no laptop this would be a great bag.
