For those who lug their laptop around, how comfortable has this 7 pounder been to carry?

I have not really noticed the difference between it and my old smaller laptop when carrying it around. I have one of those padded laptop bags for it and it is much lighter than my pack full of books for school most days.

I have one that is about the same weight and have carried it on many of flights and when you have an additional carry on it is a bit of a pain and if you have to run all over god and country in the airport it does get heavy. If you fork out some money for a backpack bag that fits the larger screen you will be grateful you made the investment.

Very comfortable at full capacity. I had a ps4 ,my laptop, iPad, some clothes, and tons of chargers and misc cables in it and had no comfort issues! They actually were more comfortable than just my laptop in my old bag was.

While it's not INTENDED for computers, since it obviously has no padding, if you're VERY careful you can absolutely carry 15" laptops in it. My daughter sometimes commutes to college on the train with her very heavy 17+" laptop...so far so good (2.75 yrs)!

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

It is padded all around, including on the bottom (but the padding isn't really any thicker on the bottom than on the sides.) Maybe I'm being too literal here, but I wouldn't drop it from the top of the bag to the bottom. But I wouldn't do that with any laptop with any bag. The padding on the bottom is about the same as the older, much less elegant Targus backpack this replaced -- so let's call it about average.But, honestly, if I was going to be dropping a laptop into the bag, I'd cut a piece of foam and put that into the bottom of the pocket.

I think Optical Drive (DVD Writer) made that laptop that heavy. Business purpose USB 3.0/2.0 port was enough. I think of returning since it is too heavy for me to carry everyday and travel. But if you do not travel, this is an excellent laptop. keep this one. This is excellent one. If you planning to travel with this one, may not for you.

I do not really feel the weight.. However, i so not carry it to too many places.. If you get a computer bag, you will be fine

The padding is pretty good. If you can get the laptop to stay secure. The straps don't work all that well, so my laptop was just floating around in there, so I returned it.

It is on the heavier side for a laptop now days but most laptops with everything this laptop has are a bit on the heavier side.

It's nicely padded. I wouldn't carry a heavy duty load in it but it works great for my lap top, accessories and a few books.

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.

I have used it several times, since I bought it, last May. In different conditions & with different loads; some very heavy. I have packed it to its full capacity. So far I have had no problem. The only observation I have regarding this very good product, which I already included in my product review, is that the strap (rather the system) that holds the computer in place is not up to the standards of all the rest of the materials & features. The computer seems to be always somewhat loose inside its compartment. Hope this proves useful.

I have not had that problem, nor has the guy who recommended it to me. I don't put it to aggressive use though. I love it, and its very comfortable to carry on your back while carrying other gear. Highly recommended for cost.

It appears to be well padded and the laptop is secure. Because it is a lighter bag, you are probably less likely to drop it; I've dropped others in the past because they were heavy. I haven't dropped this one yet so I don't know for sure.

I have 17inch plus, Dell Laptop Computer loaded, not real heavy but I'd say heaver then a lot of laptops. It holds it great, but I wish it was 2 -3 inches wider.. They say 50 pounds, but if my computer weighed 30-40 pounds I don't think I would put it on it. We travel a LOT... 6 - 7 months out of the year and it is used everyday. It is a little shakey but acceptable. It stores ok..

So far it hasn't slipped around. On occasion when moving my laptop it will move but with regular use it hasn't been an issue. I use it daily. I wish though I had purchased a larger size.
