I used to manage a team that developed tools for traders, in excel. We had excel sheets that loaded 20+ custom addins, most related to financial libraries. The excels would compute prices of financial products in real time, and send those prices live on multiple platforms. Those prices were executable, meaning other clients and banks could trade live in a click.

This was (probably still is for sken banks) the norm 10 years ago. Most banks were running their whole trading desks out of excel.

I use the 2 sleeves quite a lot. The inner pockets, not so much, only while travelling.

The only issue I had is the small plastic keyhook in the mesh zipped internal pocket broke. Not a big deal, but I hope they made it more sturdy in the v2.

I’ve had a Burton Prospect for the past 6 years and I love it. I think there’s a v2 now, but it looks similar to mine.

It has 2 laptop / tablet sleeves, 2 internal pockets, 2 side pouches, and a very convenient top pocket for sunglasses, which I also use for keys or coins.

It’s also quite indestructible, and should definitely be in budget.
