I got a new backpack to replace my Timbuk2 Q Laptop Backpack, which I had been using since 2012. It’s showing its age: the inner net has a big hole, I stitched up a tear in the nylon top, and all the zippers are starting to deteriorate with aging threads.
So, it was time for a new one. I opted for another Timbuk2 backpack, the Authority Laptop Backpack Deluxe, which Wirecutter recommends.
I feel a bit sad that it doesn’t have the bottle opener that my 31-year-old self was so excited about, but I hope it lasts another 12 years or more.
