Is this a durable laptop? Will it get damaged in a backpack full of books?

as a matter of fact, you cannot think of any other laptops that are more durable and rugged than MacBooks/MacBook Pros are. This is an aluminium case covered tough machine, good for many harsh packing types. Backpack full of books can do ZERO damage to a MacBook Pro, even if there is an entire harry potter series in back pack.. (:

it's slightly heavier than a "regular" laptop. it's pretty rugged, but not too heavy.

I have owned mine for about 8 months now and subject it to constant travel in my laptop backpack along with everything else. It has not failed me thus far.

Yes it is durable. There is a slot for the nexus to sit in. But you can't have a case on the Nexus. The keyboard and Nexus clamp together. The Nexus screen is down so you don't have to worry about it breaking. When they are clamped together it wil be fine in a backpack

Should hold up. This one is the sturdiest of the lot I tried. I go to law school so it usually sits in my bag with a whole bunch of heavy law books laptop charger n what not..

I do not really carry so heavy things in it. But few time we have put a bottle on Tropicana juice and a half gallon milk and it looked stretched, but no harm occurred. So, I would' t probably use it for laptop everyday. Few books are fine.

maybe fit well. but meanwhile you might put into 5 normal books or 2 thick books at most. i dont think its big enough. pretty casual style. if you are not to put a lot of stuff including your laptop, just go for it.

I can get 2 laptops, and other gear in the backpack. It's durable and will hold up. It was a great buy!

Fairly durable. I have used it with my 17" laptop (7 pounds), a couple of thick books, and all kinds of stuff in it. I am guessing it has weighed in at around 40 pounds or so, with no problems.

It is very sturdy. Our professors love it. They put laptops/books etc on it.

As a college student, I use this backpack everyday, carrying my binder and my quite hefty think pad w series laptop and its large brick-like charger. I would say that Ive had no issues with it hurting my back the past year that I've been using it.

I do carry mine around all day, and it tends to get a bit heavy but it fits in my backpack pretty well. If you are worried about the weight you should consider getting a shorter screen size or maybe a lighter laptop.

I have had one for a few months now and I haven't had any problems so far. I like it and it's nice for on the go and classes.

Unfortunately, no, it's not that durable. It'll protect against most travel injuries, but it's not a hard case. I would avoid dropping your tablet on hard surfaces.

I've only had to remove the iPad twice in the 30 days I've had the case. So far, there is no damage to either. I also carry the ipad in two different bags. One bag has my laptop and work things in a padded case. Another bag I use carry's college text books. The case holds up in both environments with no issues.

I'm not sure if there are reliability issues with the laptop I bought or not yet. It seems to be doing very well, I've had it for about 4 months now. Sometimes my touch pad is a bit too sensitive, or not sensitive. Like I'll be typing and it'll move, ty cursor to a crazy point, or I'll try to scroll down a page but the touch pad won't register what I'm trying to do. Other than that I haven't had any problems!

It's heavy, but not unnecessarily so. If you want a laptop with the same internals as this one, you're not going to find anything much lighter.
