FYI: 15L is the low end for a commuter sized bag. 25L to 35L are still consider commuter sized. At any rate, my Dakine Mission 15L from 12 years ago can do 6.5" of books + laptop + EarPods + chargers. The interior dimensions they give for those bags is the non-stretched dimension. 

Right, but what does that bag hold if you're adding in the Apple Vision Pro Travel Case? I'm assuming you're removing the books leaving just your laptop, chargers, and Travel Case. If you're ok with that, fine, but it's not a good experience when there are cases that take up half the volume, which would enable your same backpack to hold much more including the Vision Pro.

I'll reiterate, if you're carrying a bag that can only hold Vision Pro and very little else, what purpose is the travel case serving? To be fair, this would have jumped up to 3 stars easily if that strap could be adjusted into a shoulder sling.

Guys, the molding in the interior is what makes it have no wiggle room. The inside is smaller than the area of the entire bag.

also, this thing wouldn't fit in a 15L bag unless it was a wide backpack, not a thin laptop bag. I have the larger Nomatic bag and the Apple Vision Pro travel case is too thick for the bag to zip close without it bulging even if it's the only thing inside.

The 15L Nomatic can be expanded to 21L. Only then can the travel case fit. But it takes up the entire middle compartment. It's so thick that all the interior pockets are useless except the top two.

I suppose if all I carried was the MacBook Pro, cable case, and Apple Vision Pro, the Nomatic bag would suffice. But I think the point I was making was, that this case is so over large it's difficult to carry much else even with a large enough backpack to fit it.

taking the strap off Apple Vision Pro to put it in a smaller case isn't a big ask. That 2 seconds of inconvenience is worth halving the volume taken up by Vision Pro and its accessories.

this is a very large case. Don't know how I can put it any other way.

I wonder if the accessory space was designed to be extra large for possible future motion controllers. They didn't really need extra space for the headband since it is floppy and could fit in a much smaller bag.

Nope. No space for anything like that.

It's also worth noting that Apple doesn't usually compare itself to others so for Zuckerberg to make this claim is cringe from a marketing standpoint.

Note that Apple will never have Tim Cook on social media talking about the pros and cons of buying a Pixel, Meta, or what have you. Samsung has mostly stopped its anti-Apple ad push for now, and Google cooled off the concept late in 2023 after it's silly Pixel ads.

I think it's only a matter of time before we see Meta release ads comparing it's headset to Apple Vision Pro in one way or another.

Maybe not insult other brands while making a fanboy esque article and even if you do at least state facts.

You can make several of your points because they are your opinion, but attacking the writer or the publisher for the content of the piece are against forum rules. Have a conversation and provide evidence for your claims, but don't go out of your way to call someone a fanboy or discredit the author's piece.

If you're going to claim something is a lie, we'd prefer you reach out via email with information supporting your claims so we can address the issue. All you're doing here is silencing discourse with incendiary comments.

Don' make us have to warn you again. Your post history is short, so you're likely not aware of the forum rules. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/184333/appleinsiders-updated-commenting-guidelines/p1
