Is the laptop sleeve padded enough to protect the laptop from being carried on a school bus, being dropped on a classroom floor, or just from a teenager?

The laptop sleeve is really only a thin sleeve and the back of the backpack is really padded so if you drop it on the front of the backpack it will probably break if its from a high distance

No. The only padding is on the back of the backpack when it rests on your back. If you dropped it, your laptop could possibly be damaged.

Yes there is a padded sleeve with a strap locking the laptop in place. Plus a separate sleeve for a tablet or iPad. I carry so much paraphernalia with this backpack, a wired mouse, plug, extra iPhone batteries. There is padding between the backpack and your back and shoulder - I don't even feel the weight. Plenty of protection for my 15" HP laptop.

The bag is well padded at the laptop compartment. The rrest is layers of several materials. It gives you a feel of strong materials well put together. At the bottom it doesn't have any extra padding but it is clearly designed for dropping off to the ground. I use it for two months now and it carries a very busy day. It seems to be holding on fine.

I don't carry my laptop in my bag, but just to see, I put my Sony Vaio (measures from corner to corner at 15 1/2") in the main compartment and it zipped up perfectly fine. I wouldn't say it's protected by any means, as this bag was not designed for that, but it definitely fits perfectly fine. Hope this helps

The padding is thin foam, not like the hard case you might snap a smartphone into. So if you dropped the case & laptop onto a table I don't think there would be any harm done. But if you had it on a shelf and knocked it down to a hard floor it might not be enough protection. The padding is good for the ordinary bumps and knocking into things you might experience while commuting or moving through a crowded place with the bag slung over your shoulder. But I don't think it would be adequate protection for a significant fall from a high shelf.

It is padded but for me, I don't feel it's "well enough" padded. But if you care for every time you put your laptop, you'll be fine. I'm fine with it so far, got it in September. Still okay, no sign of damage on my laptop due to it.

It is slightly padded. I was quite satisfied with the case as I bought it for my grandson. It has straps so he can carry it over his shoulders like a backpack, which will help him carry it to school. For the price, I was quite happy with what we got.

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.

This case provides reasonable protection for the laptop under most conditions of travel. However, if you don't provide adequate care, or can't handle the laptop weight, the case may well fail to prevent damage to the laptop from a drop to a hard surface or other careless handling. I am very pleased with this carrying case.

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.

It isn't padded but it does have plenty of storage. My son doesn't wear it on his back and has only used it for "rolling" since he has so many books. The shoulder straps are padded and the metal bar is covered so there shouldn't be an issue. I'm very happy with the purchase!

Yes! My daughter purchased one for her school laptop and it has held up. It fits perfect.

No padding, not a "laptop" backpack. Very roomy with several pockets though. My 9th grader is very happy with it.

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.

The bag can fit that laptop, however if the laptop is heavy and is packed with other school supplies, I feel like the thin material of the bottom would not hold throughout the year.

I purchased this bag for my daughter to go w/ this guitar. It does not protect it from bumps or collisions, but it is great to carry it around from home to school to lessons. It has suited us well. Hope that helps. :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067HRFS0/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just used my laptop tray which is close to the size of a satellite and it fit, but it was snug. Be advised there is no "laptop sleeve" per se" and no padding. If you want to protect the laptop you will need a protective sleeve of some sort and will need to account for that.
