18M, entering uni soon and looking to replace the Osprey kids' pack that I've been using for the past 9 years.

I'd like a backpack that's able to carry a 14 inch laptop, a textbook or two, a jacket, an umbrella, a water bottle... A laptop pocket and side pouches for water bottles are preferable but not a must.

Budget approx. 500-700 HKD (64-90 USD). Looking into getting a Jansport Right Pack (with the reinforced bottom), but I'd like to hear your recommendations.

The Jansport Right Pack lasted me from second grade till the end of college. When we bought it, my parents said it was expensive so I would have to use it for 2 years, it finally had the stitching fail after 16 years. Real “Buy it for life” recommendation there.
