Durable EDC laptop backpack recommendations? Tom Bihn/GoRuck/Topo Designs/Timbuk2

Good morning all!

I'm looking for some suggestions for a new EDC laptop backpack. My current EDC backpack is starting to fall apart due to the weight of daily carrying my laptop, charger, medium EDC pouch, and full 32-40oz water bottle. So I'm on the hunt for a more durable option to replace it. I've heard good things about the GoRuck and Tom Bihn bags. Google brought me across the Topo Designs and Timbuk2 bags. Are there other options that I'm not aware of? Any experience with any of these?

Requirements:

• Protective sleeve for 16" laptop (10"x14")

• Durable build to handle the weight

• Smallest overall dimensions so it's easily stowed in the bottom drawer of my desk

• Pockets and sleeves inside for organization

• External pocket for a water bottle is a plus, but not a deal breaker

• Preferably under $300

Thanks in advance for all your help!
