How deep is this bag? In other words, besides the laptop, how many books will it carry?

Well, after putting in my HP laptop which takes up the entire back compartment, then putting in my power supply, it can take another 8.5x11x.5 pad comfortably on the inside. It also has an outside pouch. I guess it depends on what kind of book (dimensions). So, in a basic answer, yes, it can take a book or two.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

Like the others, it seems to me that it shouldn't be a problem at all. I just took a rough measurement of the bag and came up with between 21 and 22 inches diagonally. A 1.5-inch thick laptop will easily fit inside it.

I just measured the inside dimensions of the bag, and I got 10 X 13.5 X 1 deep. The computer compartment has padding, so if if your Chromebook is more than an an inch thick, this would be tight.

I really don't think so; it's more of an either/or. Either you could put the laptop *or* the textbook in there.It's really not that big, but that keeps it light and balanced on your back. I don't see the books fitting in well at all, I'm sorry to say...

Can carry a book or 2 if not too large or no laptop. Other compartments are tiny. Mostly for mobile devices.

Depending on the thickness id say about 2 college txtbooks maybe 3 if theyre small and not to thick.... a laptop id think so, it has a special flap separator for the laptop so you can have extra room for books. Its not extra spacious like a jansport backpack but it is big considering most anime or cartoon backpacks have a habit of being extra small for fashion purposes.

I have closed mine with a 17" Toshiba in the padded area. It fit without stressing the zipper. Also had an 8.5 inch Acer in the bag at the same time.

Hi Elaine. It holds a lot. I've fitted my laptop, two notebooks, and a medium thick textbook, pencil case, and my laptop and phone charger, and earphones. The problem is not that things don't fit, its that it becomes too heavy to carry around.

I was able to fit one to two textbooks and a notebook in my bag along with my laptop. I use it for work now that my classes are finished and I can get quite a bit of paperwork in the bag. Very sturdy bag - I've had no issues with it.

I would say 17 inches is pushing it. You would want to put other things in it too I'm guessing such as books, folders, etc. I have a 13 inch laptop which provides me with plenty of room but I wouldn't recommend it for a 17 inch.

depends on how thick the books are. I put my macbook pro 17" in here. it is very snug. I am not sure with a 17.3" it may not fit. The cooler will fit. The lap top compartment is only for the laptop;the cooler and laptop won't fit together in that compartment. I travel lightly with this bag. I carry my macbook, my small wacom tablet with pen, a 1.5" 14x9'' folder, pencil baggy(not plastic box), and sometimes a water bottle, small chapter book. You can look this bag up in detail on youtube. I watched one on there a long time ago. http://youtu.be/mrmfS2oSHIQ

My son has a 17 inch laptop and he does not put textbooks in the bag because that would be heavy for him, but he says that you can fit one medium size and maybe a few smaller textbooks in the bag. There is not enough room for one large textbook. The bag is wonderful. He loves it. And he tends to charge his electronics at school and his friends' electronics, too. :)

Yes you can carry books in it (the compartment is separate from the laptop), but depending on how much you want to carry.

I just bought a 15.6 inch laptop and it actually fit in there with the charger. you could possibly fit a couple of books on top of that but not much more. Maxpedition also sells a small EDC bag that fits in a couple of the compartments. Theres also a hidden compartment in the back for concealed carry. Maxpedition sells a holster that velcros into the spot.

You would be able to fit all your books, gym clothes, and possibly a science project in this bag. The next size down is nice, but it was too small for my 15.5" laptop, so it depends on what you'll be carrying.
