THULE of Sweden Crossover Backpack 32L There is cushioning in the back pocket to hold a computer. The outer upper pocket has a hard cover, so it will securely protect mechanical items. There is also a pocket at the bottom that can hold a lot of things, and the interior has detailed pockets for easy organization. I used it for commuting, carrying a computer. It's a sturdy item, so it can still be used, but please understand that it is a used item.
