I'm in college, would this bag be a good option for carrying 4-5 1" wide books?

Yes it would be. I use mine as a "school bag" carrying a 3" anatomy/physiology book, papers, handouts, etc.

Yes. My husband is in law school and is able to carry all of his books and his computer with ample space for additional items.

Yes, I carry a laptop and a portfolio in one section of mine and that leaves the other completely free for charger, pens and other miscellaneous items. Between the laptop and the portfolio it is nearly 4" and it has room to spare including the entire front portion which can carry another book or two.

Quick answer...yes. This bag is super cool...but is rather heavy. Backpack ability should aid in the weight distribution. For college book use, however, keep in mind that it does not zip close, but rather, you'd have to buckle the straps at each opening and closing. That said, it is cool, beautifully made, and very "Ralph Laurenish" and also very large in capacity.

That's a tight fit, but you should be okay. I love this bag though. Sturdy and durable. No flaws or issues since I've had it.

Yes, I purchased this bag for my nephew for school this year because he is in high school and has to carry a lot of books. It is much sturdier than his previous backpacks. It is a little larger bag but still manageable.

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.

I don't know the size of a college book but i'm carrying a macbook pro retina 15", a medium sized wacom tablet, an apple bluetooth keyboard, a 120 page notepad, an ipad, a 3,5" exthdd, all the cables and adaptors for the electronics everyday. There is still room for 3-4 magazines and a bestseller with soft cover. I hope this helps. I'm very happy with the bag by the way, it's good looking and feels longlife. Been using it for 4 months now.

maybe fit well. but meanwhile you might put into 5 normal books or 2 thick books at most. i dont think its big enough. pretty casual style. if you are not to put a lot of stuff including your laptop, just go for it.

I guess it depends on how you use it. I got this for my sister to carry her 15" laptop. It's great for that. Plenty of space for her accessories and plenty of padding and durable.

I think this bag will work fine for your needs. I took a quick look at my bag and try to make space for the items you listed and It seems to work. This bag is the same size as a large backpack and is well padded. It offers a lot protection for this expensive equipment.

It is great for travel but may be a bit bulky for school. I think you could find one better suited for that situation. That being said, I LOVE this backpack!

It can hold most textbooks and binders that I've used it with. In terms of how much, I never put too much but it can fit about 4 inches thick worth of books/binders/notepads. I don't advise doing so but that seems to be the spacial capacity.So while technically yes, very little. I advise using this bag for light loads, such as reading books + notebooks while avoiding binders and textbooks that are naturally just large/heavy.

Note sure how many books you have. It can certainly handle at least a 15" laptop and a few more books easily. I actually returned it because it was too large for my needs. Sorry about the delay in responding.

This bag will hold several smaller books, writing utensils, cell phone, tablet, etc. but not a binder or a textbook. I can put in several file folders with my Chromebook. It's just not really large enough to replace a full-fledged book bag.

Depending on the size I'd say easily 3 large textbooks or 5 mid sized. I am not a student, but the bag can easily handle my large 17" laptop (but not in the laptop sleeve), my lunch bag, and at least 2-3 books.

This would handle a few books well. It'd be a bit trying with let's say a Intro to Biology/ Chemistry book. THat'd just be one heavy load out for one arm. It would hold them, but you would just murder your shoulder. I usually kept a folder, notebook and 1 textbook (Medium size).

Yes, this bag would do nicely for you. It's wide and long enough, while keeping the good padding,

Yes, it will be your good option. But be noted that this bag is slim, if you ve many stuff, the bag would seem small.
