It is durable just very small.....I thought it would be bigger like a regular size back pack but much smaller.

The pockets are plenty durable but maybe a little small for a large computer. I am carrying my net book in it with all sort of other gear. Great arty on size bag. My only complaint is that the zippers jingle a lot. I taped them up to silence them. Hope this helps. Jeff

It would hold an iPad but it smells terrible, like burnt rubber, I am sending it back.

I can carry my 17.3" laptop and about 5 folders, my ipad in the front pocket and I can jam in my 7" x 9" x 1.5 day planner, business cards and pens too, not much else though. I honestly can't tell you if you will be able to carry all the stuff you listed, it could be "iffy". There is a zipper at the top.

It's pretty sturdy. You can use a laptop with no worries. I wouldn't put 100 lbs on it, but it's not fragile

I have had mine for 2 and 1/2 years of daily use now. Absolutely no sign of wear, and it is still by far my favorite laptop backpack.

I've had mine almost a year and a half, and it's still going strong. No tears or anything. It's a very sturdy backpack.

It holds the 17 inch more than comfortably. It has about 5-7 pockets. It does zip for the laptop area and the iPad/tablet area. And the fold over sticks down over those. I'd say definitely worth the price.

It's a piece of junk and I sent it back the same day I opened it. The calculator is basically a keypad with paper on the back and it does not come with the paper either. I don't think that pocket would hold together if you put in a real calculator. Hope that helps

It will hold a 15in laptop, and a lot more. It's a functional back pack. Very useful.

The main pocket could easily fit a laptop that big. I regularly carry a 15" macbook pro with ample room to spare. However you should know that the battery cannot accommodate a laptop, only mobile devices.

While it's not INTENDED for computers, since it obviously has no padding, if you're VERY careful you can absolutely carry 15" laptops in it. My daughter sometimes commutes to college on the train with her very heavy 17+" laptop...so far so good (2.75 yrs)!

The laptop compartment should hold computers up to 1.5" thick. It comes with variable sized padding to accommodate various sizes. I wouldn't put a tablet in the front pocket. I use one of the side pockets for my kindle and it fits nicely. My tablet goes inside the main compartment.

The corners do crack and chip unfortunately. Mine held out for about a year until I couldn't repair it anymore. Then again I transported my computer on a day to day basis so it took a lot of wear and tear. If you do buy this, I'd also recommend buying a soft zipper case. If you don't plan on moving your computer much, this case is okay.

Hi Brian, from my experience I can say that the bag was quite sturdy overall. I gifted it to my dad for his laptop and I haven't heard any complaints from him :) for the price it's a great value. I spent more on another bag for myself and that one broke, so name brand and price aren't always an indicator of quality. I hope this is helpful :) happy shopping.

It's very strong. I keep my laptop and books in it and honestly it gets better the more you use it.

I did not use it for that but my son used it for school books for the past year so I imagine it would hold up. Near the end of the year the telescoping handle became a bit temperamental but still worked. Large back pocket will certainly hold quite a bit.

Mine has been holding up for quite a while. And that's considering I slip in in and out of my pocket all the time. The elastic is still good. The worst wear and tear it has is a few little lint fuzzies that are easily plucked off. This has proven to be an excellent purchase for me!

I use it for taking my laptop through security and on the plane, and haven't had any damage done to my laptop. I actually find that it's easier to take that laptop out of this bag than it was to take it out of my over-the-shoulder computer bag. I would take care to not throw the bag down on a hard surface (or the floor) if you're setting it down upright, as the bottom of the bag doesn't have any cushion. The back and the front are pretty well padded, but not the base.
