Hi everyone,

I know this type of post comes up often, but I can't find the information I'm looking for.

Context: I will be travelling around Asia for 6 months next year. I need to bring my computer for some professional projects I have.

I'm looking for a Travel backpack with these specific characteristics:

35-40L: I always travel "carry-on", and would like to have no problem doing so. I did 2.5 months in SEA back in 2023 and my 40L Gregory Zulu fit in every budget airline I tried. I don't want to go too small: I'm 6'4 my cloths are big, and I plan to wash my stuff every week or so.

Laptop compartment : The reason why I won't be bringing my Gregory bag is that it is more of a hiking bag than a travel bag. Got it back in 2018 and has no laptop compartment. If there is a bit of tech storage with this compartement, even better!

Hip belt/Comfort : I want a hip belt. I'm used to my Zulu and plan on walking a good bit with my backpack on.…
