Does anyone have the Switch backpack and if so does it fit a 14 inch laptop?

I have the Switch Backpack. It does not quite fit my 15.6 (diagonal) screen laptop.

The way it's designed, the Switch is supposed to go in a pouch in the biggest compartment -- the one that would be on the bottom if you laid the backpack straps-side-down, which I always do. I'd be worried about having a laptop lay on my precious switch.

So that's why I carry around two backpacks.

I kind of view it through the prism of people paying large amounts of money for any kind of art they like to put on their walls. Frequently I don't give a poo poo about it but at least this time it has some functional use.

Yes, arguably (so, yes)

A display of them can certainly be.

Doesn't necessarily make any of it good art obviously.

In his defense at least (mostly) every amiibo looks slightly different from each other and they're out of the box as well when displayed.

At least it's not this.

The only good amiibo are the ones for obscure characters. It's cool that I'm able to buy an official Lucas figure at Target in 2017.

That's pretty cool, makes me want to pick up Cave Story for a 3rd time. Wish it included online though.

Sadly, apparently the port here doesn't include the original graphics anymore which really bums me out. It includes the 3 OSTs at least (original, +, 3D).

The absurdity is that Tom Nook is probably the cheapest amiibo figure of all time that you've been able to get at a store after so many markdowns.

That's the one. I've already received my second set of screens so I can put it on my Switch when I get it back from Nintendo.
