Looked at the Blogger 2.0 and the Commute 2.0 and preferred the vertical orientation of the Blogger 2.0. Was upgrading from the Relay, which ended up being too small for my needs (commuting, traveling).
I’ve been through SFO and JFK security with this bag now 3 times, and the separate compartment, when opened, has allowed me to leave my laptop in my bag every time.
It’s more spacious than I expected, but I also appreciate the extra space more than I knew I would.
One minor irritant: I picked up an extra strap pad cover (the non-slip one), and the strap tends to fold within it when carried.
One minor design issue: Within the major flap are: 1 large compartment, 1 small outer compartment with a few sub-compartments, and 2 shallow, small outer pockets. Just about anything I place in those outer parkets tends to fall out, rendering them not very useful.
