Timbuk2 is having their [end of season sale](http://www.timbuk2.com/sale) of up to 50% off selected products.

I bought the [Timbuk2 Showdown Laptop Backpack](http://www.timbuk2.com/showdown-ipad-macbook-laptop-backpack/346.html) for US$44 (S$60).

Li Xiang bought the [Timbuk2 Tuck Pack](http://www.timbuk2.com/tuck-pack/1010-3-2000.html) for US$79 (S$108) and [Timbuk2 Heist Briefcase Reflective](http://www.timbuk2.com/heist-briefcase-reflective/487-3-6114.html) for US$39 (S$54).

On top of the discounted price, I use the promo code PLUS15, and it gives me another 15% off the Showdown Laptop Backpack and Heist Briefcase Reflective.

All in all, the Showdown Laptop Backpack cost US$37.40 (S$51), and the Heist Briefcase Reflective cost US$33.15 (S$46).

Shipping is expensive at US$45 ($62) for all three bags via UPS International Expedited.

The Showdown Laptop Backpack is available in 9 colors, and I chose the Gunmetal color as that is the only discounted color in stock.

There are a lot of pockets/compartments in this bag. Three front pockets, a main compartment, a side laptop compartment and a left external side pocket for water bottle.

The side laptop compartment fits up to 15″ MacBook Pro and an iPad in a separate pocket.

For the top right front pocket, it is lined with faux fur to protect your smaller gadgets like your phone from scratches.
