Wait so it cones with a power bank integrated into the backpack itself?

I doubt that. Just a USB cord not the power bank.

Both BB and Amazon product pages are getting worse and worse. There is less about this product, but more about what other options are available and other products and nonsense. I think we need a browser extension to clean out all the junk on these online stores so we look at just the item we intend to buy.

Both stores don't list the weight of this bag anywhere properly, or I must have missed it if it's among the junk they put on these sites.
Best buy lists it as Product Weight
3 ounces which is wrong.

This looks very similar to Targus professional travel backpack I bought about a year ago from Staples. Looks very nice but too bulky and heavy even when empty. I am still using the Samsonite compact backpack I bought from Costco like 7 years ago. Still going very strong and extremely light. Always check empty weight some of those use heavy fabric.

I purchased the stealth black bag not to long ago when a slickdeal. Quality is good/high overall. Two complaints: unless you truly air travel a lot, the complete unzip and lay flat feature is very annoying. I'm used to sitting my bag down vertical, opening the top and pulling out my laptop. You cannot really do that with this, what happens is that the zippers will slow pull apart and the bag will fall. I had the bag "fall apart" because I had the zippers in the top middle position and after walking a period of time it did the same thing and the zipper came undone and half the bag "fell apart". Had to compensate by putting both zippers at one end or the other. The other quirk that I didn't think about before I purchased is that this is really "stealth" black, it may sound silly but there are times where I throw my bag here or there and then when I go looking to find it later it blends into the background.

I got this bag in the gray ballistic color for some recent trips to Disneyland and Disney World. The biggest flaw is the laptop compartment that zips all the way to lay flat, as mentioned above. I found that over time as the bag "relaxes", with alot of walking even if you put both zippers all the way to one side and to the bottom, one zipper will slowing creep upwards revealing a 3-5" opening (depending on when you catch it or how often you check it). I remedied this by keeping both zippers together with a little carabiner, but an annoyance nonetheless.
I will say that even loaded up, it's was a very non-fatigued experience, likely due to the shape, width, and integrated suspension section of the straps, along with the sternum strap. A very comfortable bag

How's this when packed for air travel? The laptop bags I've had in the past quickly puff up over allowed personal item bag sizes, even if I've only packed a few clothes. I guess due to the structure and padding for the laptop pocket

I've used this bag for years. Never had any trouble under seat or over head, but usually don't have clothes in it. Pack fairly heavy with tech.

Would you be kind enough to let me know the name/series of the samsonite compact one ?

I believe it was Xenon small. I see Amazon has medium and Large. Mine was the one without side pockets, red stitches. I'll try to find a label and let you know but check the medium one if you need pack additional stuff. I wanted something as small as possible but with room for documents, my lunch box, and some USB cables, charger and business cards etc. The small one was perfect. I don't see it online but if you check some sites might still sell them.
