I am looking for a bag to start high school with and need to carry 1-2 textbooks, a few notebooks, and maybe a laptop. Would this bag work for me?

It should work okay, but, in all honesty I'm not sure because mine was lost months ago.

I don't think it would hold enough books. They are too thick. I went to law school as well and most of us used rolling carry on bags for our books and laptops. Eventually I wound up getting a locker, which I highly recommend if they are available at your school. If you were only carrying one or two books at a time this bag would be ok. Good luck with classes.

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.

Hi... you will be able to fit in two laptops easily...and then two to three books can easily fit in.... and the cop holder is easily accessible... but given that you have loaded all these in to the bag.... it gets really heavy that you would not be able to walk carrying it.. also I would like to emphasis that the empty bag itself is heavy. I carry one laptop and couple of note books... I feel much comfortable with the bag... I love this bag for its quality

I carry my laptop, ipad, charger, pens, office supplies, etc. In addition I carry two binders about 1" thick and everything fits fine. I have an old Dell laptop that is pretty thick and heavy so if you have a MBP you should be fine with that and a couple of books plus school supplies. It's a very nice comfortable bag.

Yes, it will hold a textbook or two if they are slim in addition to a 17" laptop.

Certainly depends upon the thickness of the proposed textbooks and binders. Front zippered area mostly for pens, business cards, and perhaps a appointment book/calendar. The second pocket that contains a built in padded area for a laptop - less than 17.3", could accommodate a laptop and perhaps a 1 inch binder. The third zippered area (meant for overnight clothes & accessories, might handle a couple of 2" binders.

As long as the laptop is not over 15" and the binder is not over 2-3" you should be fine, however this is a gym bag more then a school bag! However it is very roomy and sturdy multiple compartments you should be fine!

It would definitely be big enough, perfect if you need to carry some books also. The pack is a great value with lots space. I carry only a 10" tablet so I now mostly use a smaller pack for EDC but keep this one in reserve for when I need more space. The hydration pocket is where I would put the laptop since it would be protected.

Yes, it would. I had originally purchased it for my son for school. His last Under Armour backpack lasted him 2 years and we had much success, which is why we purchased that one. This one was a bit smaller that his last one and it would not be good for a high school books, but would be great for travel with camera, etc. Just nothing too, too heavy.

It is a great bag for college. It is one if the only 5.11 backpacks that had a dedicated laptop pouch and still has plenty of room for books and folders.

Short answer yes. I too am a full time college student and use this as my primary bag. I also carry a 13 inch macbook pro where ever I go along with and iPad in this bag along with notebook or two and sometimes carry a graphing calculator. But it does get bulky when you start adding accessories and chargers etc. If the text books you use are large (e.g. my Accounting book), it will not fit. If you are planning to have ALL of your text books with you then go with a larger bag. overall the quality is great.

oh yes!! it will. Its like the size and has the ability and compartments of a regular school book bag or even hiking/camping/all terrain book bag. But theres a special compartment in the back that's closest to your back when you have it on that holds the laptop. I have the new Asus 17 in laptop and its even protected in that compartment. Theres a Velcro adjustable strap in the back compartment you can use to help secure or adjust the size of it for a tighter fir or looser fit. I can easily upload more pics of mine if you like? Iv also dropped the bag with my laptop and a bunch of other things in the bag from standing position to the rocky ground and it landed on its back right where the laptop sits and my laptop was perfectly fine. Im a paramedic firefighter and I have no patience so Im pretty rough on my toys including the expensive ones like my laptop and this book bag but its held up great both with me at work and at home with my 3 yr olds destructive nature.

This could function as a school backpack, but that depends on how much you intend to carry. A laptop will take up some space and the rest can be notebooks; that would work. But the books you intend to carry are pretty big, then this probably won't work. I carry my laptop, a binder, and two notepads and it's pretty full.

My daughter carries about 3 large textbooks along with notebooks, folders and her iPad in this bag. It however does not hold her 15 inch laptop. Hope this helps.

Yes , I currently have 1 5-subject notebook , my math handbook , 3 notebooks & pens , pencils , erasers , sharpener and everything fits perfectly but you can't put textbooks it'll be too heavy for it , i suggest getting a locker for the books

Yes it should hold textbooks and notebooks in addition to your computer. I actually cut out the black inner lining that separated the two zippered compartments. This allows me to fit my purse (it's a large purse) , computer (15 inch), a thick spiral notebook, papers for work and high heels all at he same time. I take the train to work, roll it all over and to the bottom/wheels are sturdy enough to handle all of the weight without dragging! This is by far the best investment I have made this year!
