Is the bag front heavy with the laptop inside? (e.g. will it tip over easily? or is it unstable with a laptop inside? )

Honestly, the stability of the bag would be determined by the way you have it packed. That said, it stands on end well with an evenly distributed packed contents. Even if it were to topple over there would be no concern due to the excellent padding and construction. The quality of Think Tank bags is beyond belief until you have owned a few (or dozen in my case).

I packed an ASUS TF701 w/keyboard, plus a couple of DSLRs, 80-400 and 18-85 lenses, a videocam, batteries, monopod mount and cleaning materials into this bag. The laptop pocket extends pretty deep into the bag length. I felt it was balanced. With excellent padding inside, Ihad no concerns about my gear. It fits either under the seat in front or in the overhead. Love it.

I love this bag! It provided enough room for what I needed for a 15 day cruise through the Panama Canal, and lots of excursions. I used it as my main bag, but I packed a small bag for times that I needed only one extra lens on my DSLR. I wish it had an outside pocket for passport, etc., but it was one of the best things that I took on my trip. It always packed in the overhead and was so easy to travel with through the various airports. It really is a great "bag".

I've had mine for about a year and I've had no problems with the straps. I can see some cracks where they normally bend but the internal structure seems ok. In all fairness though, I don't load it up too heavily. I only carry my laptop around about half of the time.

Yes, it does tip over when loaded especially if the weight is towards the front rather than towards the back. Mine does tip over. The bottom is very sturdy. Though, if you overload your backpack, the exposed bottom portion of the middle section can wear out if rubbed against the ground because it isn't protected.

I have had many items in this bag and have stood it upright and it hasn't fallen over.. But maybe I had the right amount of items in that just didn't cause it to tip over. Just remember that you can always lean it against something of it comes down to you being worried about it needing to be stabilized.

I just tested mine. It's well-padded on the sides. Not so much on the bottom. I don't know what brand of laptop you use, so I can't speak to that with complete accuracy. It will depend partly on the thickness. But I use a similar laptop, and never had a problem with mine.

It really won't tip over. The only concern I would have is that it is narrow inside, and for larger people it may pose a problem getting in and out.

I've had mine for about 2 months and I've used it everyday to lug around my laptop, binders, and a whole lot of other things, it gets pretty heavy for me but I don't feel like the straps are thin at all. I'd definitely choose this one over a similar one that I had seen at Target. The one I had seen at Target was definitely something that wouldn't probably have lasted and it was more expensive..

If you have a secure basket or rack to put it in then I would say it should be ok. Otherwise the answer would be no. With the computer inside the bag is heavy and it can not stretch over your head. Use your judgment

Hello N.I would say the laptop mount would be stable enough.Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO

A little top heavy, but not enough to tip over when it's on your lap. The keyboard slot is close enough to the center to keep it from tipping.

It is heavy for a laptop but I really love it. You wont get anything close to the power it has anywhere near its price. You will also have to get a larger bag to carry it in. I tried a standard 14 inch laptop bag and it was a tight squeeze without anything else in the bag like a charger a mouse and a paper notebook will not fit. I bought a messenger bag for mine. I would have loved to have gotten an Alienware bag or carrying case but they are over priced in my opinion.

The Samsonite rolling laptop bag I ordered did not have tipping problems. Although I was not the primary user, I was in and out of the bag adding items all the time. Also the wheels were larger than most bags and quite sturdy.

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.

Very true. My laptop has a rounded front. The low height of the pegs and the weight of the laptop combined leaves the laptop in a very vunerable position. It's slid off a couple of times.

Not sure of the weight because I carry a laptop on the bag which adds weight but nothing that's extremely difficult to carry. I love this bag.

definitely... It's a laptop bag, and I've seen people carry bags bigger than this as well. More than everything i think it comes down to the weight.

Yes! Very well made, out of neoprene like material. The bottom is also well padded, so whe you place the bag on the floor, your laptop wont hit the hard surface dead on. My 15.5 inch wide screen laptop remains well tucked in and protected from the accessories.
