The reason the Osprey has the computer in the front of the bag is to allow the back of the pack to be curved. This make for better comfort for carrying. There is a problem when you over stuff the middle compartment and it is possible to crack a computer. The fix for this is to use packing cubes and to make this compartment more square. In 6 years I have not damaged any computer or iPad; I do not use computer or iPad covers for this pack as they are not needed. Put the excess luggage in the computer compartment. Note that the Farpoint is made to allow carry on and depending on the airline can only be 8,9,or 10" thick. When it is taken on an airplane it should not be bulging. For an airplane it carries 40 liters but can expand to 46 liters once this restriction is lifted. . The pack is made for guys that weigh up to 300#. If the straps are too long just cut them shorter. In duffel mode using the comfortable hand grip there are no dangling straps. The sternum strap is removable but is very difficult to reattach it (hint-put the plastic in boiling water). This pack can easily and safely be used as checked luggage. This is great for long layovers; pack your valuable stuff in a smaller day bag and spend a day visiting a city on a 23 hour layover. The biggest problem with this pack is the placement of the water bottle holders. They are placed in the front so that the the pack can be used as a duffel bag. The hack around this is to have a more flexible water bottle in the 700ml size, to sometimes use the front straps to secure the water bottle, and more importantly to have a partner with the same backpack to help you get access to the water bottles. The front compression straps are long enough so that one can strap a 24 liter day pack, yoga mat or large winter coat to the pack. Once you get used to this bag to turn it from a pack to a bag and back again easily in less than 20 seconds. You accurately described who this pack is made for. Poor for digital nomad, trekking, day bag but can do all these things. Great for international carry-on travel at a decent price. Wait for a sale. Bag is easily big enough for a 6 month trip.

Great review. I have been looking at the same bag for some time. I will be retiring next year and planning on extensive traveling. I purchased the tomtoc 38L travel bag, but not sure if I like it yet. I have to have a CPAP machine which will take a lot of space, so I debated and also purchased a 20" spinner hard case luggage. I'm in the beginnings of being a minimalist and deciding what I need for a 6 month journey to start out. About the Osprey, I agree whole heartily about the water bottle holders in front. Like the concept, but why not a system to hold the bottles into place?

By far the best review of the bag. However, 3.3 is not like doing justice to it. I have this thing and also the FP 55, alternating as per my travel needs. Keep the FP 40 (M/L) packed at less than 10 kilos and you'll have the best of it. My experience has been smooth and comfortable. I'd rate it at 4 out of 5.

I appreciate the laptop compartment being on the outside of the bag, because: 1) Most people, including myself, will have this backpack stuffed full and a laptop compartment on the inside means the laptop could potentially take the full weight of all the gear when the bag is stored laying down during travel, or when you lay it down in a rush to go through your main compartment for stuff you need - You'll just compromise your laptop. Laying the bag down on its front would mean that Opsrey would have had to give us some kind of not so great looking/feeling material and would have compromised the look of the bag with the dirt and debris it would catch. So I'm fine with the laptop being on the outside and laying the bag down on its interior side. 2) I'm not a crazy person so i travel with a 13" laptop and its pretty light and thin, storing it on the exterior doesn't hurt me in any way (as long as you got the zipper locked and the waist and sternum straps properly locked on you). If you travel internationally with a big fat gaming laptop then you need to see a shrink. 3) The laptop being right against my back would definitely compromise the way the bag is designed to comfortable form against my back - this is from experience with over a dozen travel bags.

Have used this bag for my perpetual travels in Asia for 4 years. For 2 years used it as my sole carry-on nomad bag - before i started to need more space for Camera gear. Its a veeery sturdy and solid bag - still after 4 years of heavy usage everything works and nothing is damaged or broken. I agree with most things you said in this vid - But i would add to who this bag is for: - if your digital nomadism is requiring a laptop (plus ipad) only and not much other tech gear this bag is totally fine! At least i use a somewhat padded laptop sleeve anyway, and with that on it, a 13-15" macbook fits snug in the tech compartment. Never had any probs with it being in danger. I even like it better to have the tech comp at the front, than having a hard unflexible laptop directly at my back. You were right about the dangliness (though you overdid it a bit by still having the duffle carry strap attached (which i never used).. ;) For me its been a reliable travel companion and it works in different climates and circumstances and even for small hikes, (tthe airflow is not the best though - tends to get a sweaty back) But anyway i would give it a slightly better 3.8 out 5 .. cheers guys and keep up the good work!

The Tech Compartment is the reason I got a Osprey Porter. Tho I am not 100% Happy with it. The reason is the harnest is not so good, a longer walk make your shoulder hurt and it is a bit unhandy for the Daypack. When I checked in my place and I go to a Cafe to do some work, I need my Tech and there the Porter is not the best solution. The nomatic was my other choice, but it is not a Osprey and it was to expensive. Osprey need a Modell that is kind of a mix for a digital Nomad... Thanks a lot for your Video. P.S. on the nomatic I also did not like the missing lockable zippers!

Something to keep in mind about those compression straps on the front of the pack is that they increase security. The bottom strap holds in water bottles, the top strap covers the zipper pulls so that somebody could not access your pack without first unbuckling the top strap. I'm sure this is also part of the logic of a front-located tech pocket, plus the fact that it reduces the need for an extra zipper.

It’s tough to say bc it depends on how you pack and what you bring. But for me, this backpack has more than enough space for a 2-3 week trip. No problemo.

Im looking for a new backpack to use for both school/gym but also for travels in Europe from time to time. Would this bag be too big to use for school/gym? Isn't there a way to hide away the waist belt? Saw someone tuck the waist belt in under the cover for the back of the bag. Im scared that i would be to much dangle for going to school because i won't use waist belt or any of that.

Hey dude, I would say this is pretty big for every day carry, but I guess it’s doable if you have a ton of gear and don’t mind the extra bulk/weight. Also this version of the bag is discontinued and I’m not sure what new versions they are currently offering

I literally cannot understand your issue with the "dangle". No one walks around without the straps done up. I've had this bag for 5 y are and have never thought it "dangles". The only thing is I like to keep the duffle strap on at all times and just wrap it into one of the handles. I do agree with the tech compartment being stupid at the front but the 2023 édition fixed this

Some things annoy some people and not others. Dangle drives me absolutely bonkers. That's why I prefer backpacks that have no dangle and a more seamless carrying experience. Just me though!
