I don't carry a laptop or papers. Is this bag useful for stuffing items in, such as a light jacket and random things? Or is it too flat/structured?

You can definitely stuff it. Last time I carried my laptop, a water bottle, a pouch with pencils and markers and a fully inflated official sized soccer ball inside a box. on a separate occasion, i had my helmet, lock, chain, and a sweater in it. i have a size medium.

I don't carry a laptop all the time too and have been using this as my main bag for traveling as I pack one or two days of clothing inside. . I would recommend using a Grid-It organizer with this bag for smaller stuff like chargers etc.

The laptop pocket has some decent padding at the bottom. That being said... I wouldn't be dropping my macbook into the bag. Overall I am really happy with the bag.

Yes, absolutely. The compartment up against the handle is clearly intended for a change of clothing. I've put a bit of padding at the bottom and it holds a laptop, power cord and mouse. It's not padded or designed for this purpose, but for how I utilize the bag, with a larger size laptop that won't move around much, I find it to be fine. This compartment is separate from the intended computer compartment. By the way, I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

This is a great bag for throwing a few extras in and carrying around - snacks, cords, etc. I would not use this to fit clothes as I genuinely don't think you can fit clothes AND other items in here. It's not tiny but it's not spacious.

It might be but it got this bag for similar reasons. I needed something to carry my laptop and papers in and I hate briefcases. It's a good sized bag so if you're sure that's all you'll ever carry, you might want to look for something smaller. I love mine though.

This bag is ROOMY .... I have fit ALOT of things in mine , much more than i thought i could. I think you should be fine w/your laptop, it does have wiggle room ! I LOVE this BAG! Good Luck!

I agree with the others. It is great as a computer bag. As a clothing carrier, there are other options that are much better.

When it's empty it's pretty thin, it stretches pretty big. I use it as a laptop/tool bag with chargers etc. And everything fits good.

I don't carry it around because of its awkward shape. Its so light you certainly could, but awkward when I typically have my laptop, a gym bag, and a book bag. If your backpack is not stuffed you could probably do it!The back piece easily cones off which would make it less bulky for transport.

I'd say pretty unfeasible for that purpose. It's larger than a typical messenger bag, and its pockets aren't particularly well suited to hold papers, etc. I absolutely love it for my bike, but I think you'd be disappointed having to lug it around.

Although a laptop could fit in this bag I would see it more fit for carrying a tablet or something similar... I personally carry a small Kindle Fire HD and it fits comfortably along with photo gear. Its definitely an odd bag, but very useful and well constructed. The design is rather strange for most folk and the user has too appreciate the fact that it doesn't look like a camera bag. .. hope this help you w your decision!

My daughter uses this bag. She does not put a laptop in it but has some books. I don't think it is as big a bag as a back pack would be, but if a lot of books aren't needed then it could work. Don't expect a lot of heavy texts to carry.

nope. its a good little bag, but small. a good day trip bag or for going around town. it does hold a surprising amount. but be warned at over filling. :0) hope this helped

It's a nice overnighter/weekender size bag. You could probably use it for work, especially if you have a laptop, purse items, even lunch to put in there? Would not be easy to stash out of the way in a typical office/desk area.

No, if you are looking for a lightweight bag. Look elsewhere. I love this bag, but because I carry several thousand dollars worth of the electronics for work travel. It keeps my stuff safe, but it is NOT light.

I think it would be fine, as long as you didn't have anything too big and heavy in the bag with the laptop.

theres a padded divider which is great for a laptop but may not be best for LOTS of books, but if you like a divider for say books and something else it could still work. does not balance well / sit on its own. that said, i love the oil rubbed fabric finish and the deep purple color & style... functionality as a laptop bag is great.
