I've been surprised at how large and at the same time compact the Smart Alec is. What I mean by that is that it is able to hold more than I think it can, and at the same time, it feels less heavy on my back given the load. The bungee cord is great for when I have a small load and need to make the backpack smaller, or when the backpack is full to use the cord to hold my jacket.
At various times, this is what I was able to fit in it:
For a trip:
Macbook
Freudian slip (vertical) - love the organization!
cords
paperback novel
digital camera
knitting project
wallet
passport
cosmetic case
water bottle
umbrella
first aid kit
For a commute:
TWO Macbooks in neoprene sleeves plus cords for both
wallet
keys/whistle/flashlight
pocket moleskine
cosmetic bag
pocket moleskine
large moleskine
cosmetic bag
For filing my dissertation:
two reams of paper
wallet
keys
camera
(there was still room at the top for a light sweater)
