I am wondering if it will be too much to put a laptop and maybe 3 textbooks in the bag and if there are pockets on both sides for water bottle?

No pockets for water bottle, but I've fit 3 decently sized textbooks and my laptop in the backpack.

There are not pockets on the side for waterbottles, but the backpack can easily hold three textbooks and your laptop. (granted that not ALL THREE textbooks are going to be your average size of a physics book or something)

Hi Elaine. It holds a lot. I've fitted my laptop, two notebooks, and a medium thick textbook, pencil case, and my laptop and phone charger, and earphones. The problem is not that things don't fit, its that it becomes too heavy to carry around.

Hi Jeniffer. No. There is not a pocket for a water bottle, but I place my bottle inside in the first big compartment next to my books. It is just like a messenger bag, more than a school bag... but it is a very nice bag for the price. I carry in it my laptop, notebooks, and charger. Sometimes it's a little to bulky, but it does the job.. hope that helps.

It's great for carrying a laptop, but it can fit maybe 2-3 large 1" thick textbooks as well. There's a lot of pockets in the second zipper compartment for pens and such. So yeah, not too bad for a school back pack. There is not much room at the top for anything else though if it is full of books.

Probably not, unless they are very thin books. There isn't much room (2-3 inches??) between the laptop portion and the front half of the backpack.

The side pockets are for little flattish objects. I store my key case in one & the power adapter for my Lenovo Ideapad in the other. So no bottles unless you carry a flask! (I just read another response. If we are talking about the same backpack, the side pockets are zippered & not mesh so I stand by my response)

Short answer, No. The bag is not water resistant nor does it have a spot for holding water bottles. This bag is a last resort for those of us on a very very tight budget. If you can afford a better option, buy it. I couldn't but wish I could have.

There is a compartment in about the middle of the interior that probably enough room for a laptop. I usually put my iPad there. I seldomly take my laptop on a trip.

This foldable backpack could hold a labtop, a pair of mens 38 size jeans, 2 ex. large shirts, 3 pairs of socks & two pairs of mens ex. large boxers folded neatly. As for carrying a laptop in this bag I feel that the material is too thin to keep the laptop from being damaged if it gets banged or dropped. This is not what I used the backpack for. I just wanted to show how much items fit in this bag.

Not really, But in my personal experience, I use it for soccer practice, and I can store up to 3 bottles of water on each front pocket. It looks small in the picture, but the size is perfect. I'm amazed on how much room you have on those pockets. This is probably one of the best duffel bags I have bought in a long time.

I'm and IT guy, not a student but I think it would be great for books as long as you don't carry too many. I routinely carry my MB Air, notebook and a few files back and forth to the office, and business trips. I often have a book or tablet too. Perfect for that. If you carry 3-5 large textbooks all the time, you may be happier with a backpack. I have a Swiss backpack that I take on longer trips when I have to carry more gear.I love this bag for day to day use. It's fantastic.

Sure, no problem. I usually carry my laptop, it's charger, a book and a notebook plus a few minor accesories and it fits just fine; however do not expect much room left for additional stuff. I have had it for about 3 months now and it looks just as new.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

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.

You could fit some text books but very few. Don't get me wrong it's a great bag. But if u using it for school I have u don't have a lot of book. A 20l bag would be better

For sure and a lot more. It has a pouched that can hold a huge water bottle in and you can store at least two water bottles inside it and still have room for the other items you listed! I LOVE this bag. It is much roomier then you think and is very well made. I hope that helps, enjoy!!

I would say no. I carry my laptop and a couple of note books and a manila folder but I don't see multiple big thick college textbooks fitting well.
