Yeah, no compression straps. I'm not a big fan of those things, anyway. I just pack tight instead. Have you considered anything by Maxpedition? You'll probably have to get your own padded laptop sleeve to insert into the main compartment, but you can't beat their backpacks for durability, excessive neato features (pockets on pockets with secret pockets) and ability to tailor it to your nerdy needs with straps, pads, MOLLE pockets, Velcro, etc.
