I purchased this backpack about a month ago to replace a messenger-style bag for daily carry of work-related items: 15" laptop, chargers, pens, notebooks, electronics, etc. I almost bought the Nebula instead, but tried on both at a local REI store and the Tropos just felt a lot better on my back and shoulders. I also like that it has a bit more space than the Nebula. The trampoline-style mesh and the kick-stand ultimately sold me, and they do not disappoint. I recently attended a trade show where i wore the pack for eight hours with only a small break here and there, and my shoulders were no worse for the wear at the end of the day - and, almost unbelievably, my back did not sweat at all! The kick-stand feature is also really nice. As others have mentioned, it works best with a bit of weight in the pack. I find that it works perfectly as long as my PC (or equivalent weight) is in the bag. Less than that (or with the bag empty), it tends to tip.
Air travel is an occasional requirement of my job, and I was worried that this pack would not fit under the seat of the plane. I am happy to report after three round-trip flights (one of them international) that I had zero problems fitting the pack under the seat. The trick is to have the trampoline facing up, and the top of the pack (where the carry handle is) facing you - so the bottom of the pack faces forward. Obviously, the more you fill the pack, the tighter the fit, but I did not have any issues, and I managed to get my legs under the seat on either side of the pack. There is one feature for air travelers that is missing from this pack: a way to attach it to a roller bag (carry-on) handle. I overcame that issue by attaching two 2-inch carabiners to the two loops which are on either side of the Osprey logo. When setting the pack on top of the roller bag, face the shoulder straps away from the roller bag handle. The kickstand sits nicely in the gap left by the extended roller bag handle, and the two carabiners easily clip onto the handle itself - problem solved.
Regarding looks - I'm an outdoorsy type, and I really like the look of the pack. I have received occasional comments from work colleagues like "you look like you're ready for a hike", and to be fair the shear number of zipper pulls definitely contributes to a more technical-looking pack, but none of this bothers me. I work in a business-casual setting (oxford shirts and slacks) and the pack is definitely professional enough for the office. (I went with the black color, by the way). I've carried it into meetings with executive management and it was not given a second look.
Since I have only had the pack for about a month, I can't really comment on it's durability, other than to say it survived the last three weeks of travel very well. No rips or tears, though one of the zipper pulls did come un-done and I had to re-loop it. Given the way that the zipper pulls attach to the zippers, I'm at a loss as to why Osprey decided to go with zipper heads that have a gap on one side. You'll see what I mean if you look closely at them. This is defintely not a deal-breaker, but is an annoyance.
Regarding space inside the pack - There is plenty of room for a 15-inch laptop in the padded laptop sleeve. I would guess a 17-inch would also fit with no problems. The main compartment next to the laptop compartment has a generous amount of space. With a packing cube or two, I can easily fit enough clothes for a three-day business trip in there. If you don't need all that space, the cinch straps on either side of the pack make it easy to reduce the overall size. The organizational pocket toward the outside is laid out really well and has plenty of pockets for things like a mouse, presentation clicker, laptop charger, pens/markers, battery pack, etc. The key-ring clip is a nice touch - I don't use it for keys, but I hang a small tape measure on it. I use the outside pocket with the vertical zipper to store a stuff-sack rain coat (the coat packs down into it's own pocket, turning it into a small rectangle, which I then stuff into the outside pocket of the backpack), as well as a rain cover for the pack which I purchased separately.
Bottom Line: I'm very happy with this backpack as an everyday carry bag. It will work well for office workers like myself, students, bike-commuters, or those looking for a general use day pack for occasional hiking. I'm pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend this backpack to anyone looking for a solid EDC pack for work, school, day-hiking, or general use.

The bag holds my packing cubes and work related items great! [14 x 10 x 1 in (cube) & 14 x 10 x 4 in (cube)]. And a Toiletry Organizer 10 x 3 x 5.5 in.
Walking around in airports or using it for every day use is a pleasure.
The bag is able to stand upright on it's own without falling over. This is huge when you're traveling! Being able to put it down and grab the top strap makes it so easy. Packing it and unpacking is a breeze. Getting my laptop in and out is easy. Having the access to quickly move any item in or out without having to hold the bag up is awesome!
My laptop never touches the ground when placing the bag on the floor. Keeps it very secure.
It will hold all of your tech with no issues. There is even a spot for a tablet in the laptop compartment. I carry my noise cancelling headphones. And extra tech gear for work. There seems to be a pocket or spot for everything. Even pens and markers.
The shoulder straps are well padded and when cinched up moves the bag up. This takes pressure off my lower back and more towards my hips.
The backing against your back is comfortable. The airflow is great. Keeps your back cool and dry even on a hot day.
The only real fault this bag has is the hip belt. They say on the Osprey site that it's removable, but I found out the belt won't come off or go back on very easily. I ended up leaving it on and folding up the straps using Velcro ties I had, so they don't hang down and get in the way. I have not used it yet, but I would image it wouldn't be to comfortable. But this not why I got the bag anyways.
