New backpack recommendations for both commute and travel?

I’m looking to finally upgrade my backpack situation and could really use some recommendations. For the last 4 years, I’ve been daily driving a SHRRADOO Extra Large "50L" Travel Laptop Backpack from Amazon. It's actually given me decent mileage for a cheap bag, but the straps are starting to tear at the seams, and I need a replacement before it completely fails.

I doubt this bag is actually a real 50L. Has anyone here actually owned or measured this specific bag? Knowing if it’s a fake 50L would really help me figure out what actual size tier I should look at for an upgrade, because I do love the massive amount of space it gives me when it's fully packed.

Here is what I usually use my bag for:

Work Commute: I work in tech, so I'm regularly commuting with a large laptop, a ton of tech accessories, chargers, and cables. I need solid, dedicated tech organization.

Travel & Camping: I like to pack my bag completely to the brim. I use it a lot for travel, weekend camping and general carrying a lot of things (groceries)

I want something durable that won't give out at the straps after a few years of being packed heavy, but still has the organization and look to be commutable. Budget is pretty flexible since I want a high-quality piece of gear that will last. Any recommendations for high-capacity hybrid packs that fit the bill? Thanks!
