Ultimate Tech Backpack Recommendations

in Techie Stuff
Hi All,
My last laptop bag a (Swordfish) has now gone to backpack heaven. This backpack was around £30 and lasted a number of years but was not ideal for my requirements. As such I am now in the hunt for a new backpack.
Essentially I need a strong backpack that can be used daily but can also carry more tech when traveling.
Daily Requirements:
Padded 15" Laptop.
Storage (For cables and power bank)
Keyboard & Mouse Storage (Small Keyboard approx 30 CM)
Sunglasses Storage
Notebook and pen Storage
Water Bootle Storage
Ability to store Jumper/Jacket.
Easy Access RFID Pocket
Nice to have
TSA Approved
Supportive I have a 5.11 Rush 24 backpack and this has amazing support.
However its not really deigned to be a tech backpack.
When I travel I carry a lot more tech
Headphone
Nintendo Switch
IPAD 12"
More Cables
Documents (Passport, Tickets, Visa so on...)
I have found two backpacks that I like the look off but sadly they are pretty expensive. So looking for a cheaper alternative and wanted to get some recommendations.
I like the look of the following Backpacks but sadly they are really expensive:
Nomatic Backpack RRP £150 - £200
System G Carry Backpack RRP $145 Currently on offer for $115.99 (Not sure I like the hard case feature)
Can anyone recommend a good tech backpack ?

Unknown to you....The Samsonite is good value, but doesn't have the built in charger. Swings and roundabouts, depending on requirements.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

Take a look at these, I work in IT and often have 2-3 laptops in one of these along with chargers/cables etc. Usually have a bottle of water, some snacks, notepad/pen etc too with plenty of space left over.
