Is the laptop compartment padded?

It is. It's kinda thin though. Neg: I've dropped bag on the "corner" and my laptop got a little damaged. Pos: A friend accidentally kicked the bag (the part that goes on against your back where the laptop goes) and the laptop came out unscathed. I would buy it again though.

There is slight padding towards your back, but no padding towards the other compartments. If you need padding, but something else.

It has some padding. It is also a very big pack. It will fit a lot of books in addition to the laptop.

Yes, there is an additional layer of elastic foam inside that actually touches the laptop. The black case wraps around this foam core. Nice and light and semi-protective. Kind of like a dive suit for your laptop.

Yes. It is at least as thick as the padding on the last case I had, Inland brand. The actual laptop pocket is the only one they don't show a picture of and I was worried about that too. It's fine so far.

A laptop might zip up in there. It's not padded like a laptop backpack. I use mine for HVAC work. I'm pretty rough on my stuff and it seams to be very durable. I can measure it for you tomorrow

No. Also it's a bit floppy though secure, so I'd want to put padding around any computer. I use it for gym stuff, bike lock, lunch, wallet. Has nice side pockets for storage.

Yes it is padded. It's not the softest seat in the world but out child has been on several long road trips in that seat with no complaints.

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.

Yes, there is a velcro flap that keeps the computer secure in place in the padded compartment.

No it isn't padded, it provides minimal protection to the screen of the iPad .

Yes, not padded at all, but a zip pocket on the inner side. Unable to retrieve weapon while wearing it but large enough for a subcompact. Maybe fullsize

yes, but it is a little tight. It is a nice laptop case, but limited space.

yes, it's very roomy, I can even fit another laptop skin inside it to keep my laptop extra safe while traveling.

No there is not a laptop compartment. However, a laptop will fit in this back pack easily & pretty secure.

Yes, the bag is slightly padded, has a zippered pocket across the front, large enough to hold a tuner, picks, etc. It has two small strap handles along the side and a long strap in the back to carry it over the shoulder.

No, unfortunately. It's a cover more than a carry case. It's the size of the laptop with no extra room.

It is not padded. Though it's a pretty wide strap. 2 1/2 inches give or take. I wore it more messenger style than as a purse.

It is not really padded but has a "felt" lining to prevent scatches. The exterior is thick enough for protection as well. I use it for my MacBook Pro and throw it into another bag with my research & it is perfect for trips to library, etc.
