Mina Baie Stevie Backpack!: Ok fair warning they are expensive but I've never gotten more compliments than I have on my Mina Baie bag. I bought it second hand - technically it's a diaper bag but it's the BEST work backpack I've ever used. Can be worn like a backpack but also converts to be carried on one shoulder like a tote. The "midi" (the smallest size) can fit a 13 (maybe a 15?) inch laptop as well as some food, a 16 oz water bottle in one of the side pockets, a mouse, wallet, phone, charger...everything you'd need for a day in the office. Plus since it's a diaper bag it's got tons of great organization and it's easy as hell to clean!  It's not big enough for a full change of clothes or anything but especially if you're looking for something that won't be way too big I think it could be a great fit.

Day Owl Slim Pro Backpack: Before I switched to a tote bag, this was my everyday backpack. I was actually one of the first few hundred people to buy from the brand when they launched, and I’ve been using it ever since.

What I love most is how simple and lightweight it is. Even when I’m carrying a full load, the bag doesn’t feel unnecessarily heavy or bulky. They make it in different sizes, and I went with the 13-inch since I use a smaller MacBook.

It has just the right amount of organization without turning into a bag full of unnecessary compartments. My favorite feature is the dedicated water bottle pocket, which is surprisingly useful.

A simple, well-designed backpack that I’d definitely recommend.
