Would i be able to use this bag for college? Would I be able to fit a laptop, folders, and a few books?

It is a great bag for college. It is one if the only 5.11 backpacks that had a dedicated laptop pouch and still has plenty of room for books and folders.

I carry a laptop and books in it. My laptop is a Think Pad about 15" size and there is room for a little larger computer. I can put about 5 good sized text books in as well along with note books, cords, snacks, drinks, etc.

That was what I used the bag for for the last year. There's a padded sleeve inside that fit my 13" MacBook with a little room to spare.

It has a laptop pocket with padding that will accommodate a 15" laptop. And yea, you can totally use it for college. Best thing is it doesn't look like a military back pack.

I use mine for law school. It will get the job done as long as your laptop is only a 13 inch or maybe a slim 15 inch.

Hi... you will be able to fit in two laptops easily...and then two to three books can easily fit in.... and the cop holder is easily accessible... but given that you have loaded all these in to the bag.... it gets really heavy that you would not be able to walk carrying it.. also I would like to emphasis that the empty bag itself is heavy. I carry one laptop and couple of note books... I feel much comfortable with the bag... I love this bag for its quality

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 carry my laptop, ipad, charger, pens, office supplies, etc. In addition I carry two binders about 1" thick and everything fits fine. I have an old Dell laptop that is pretty thick and heavy so if you have a MBP you should be fine with that and a couple of books plus school supplies. It's a very nice comfortable bag.

Should be enough room, but I don't think it would be durable if use as a Laptop backpack

I would say yes, I wouldn't put a ton of books inside. Find out the amount of books and folders that you're comfortable with. Then go from there. It can fit normal size binders the ones with the medium sized rings.Pens, pencils, markers, tablet all can comfortable fit inside. You can also add molle pouches to the bag. Modify it to your liking, even if you don't use it for day to day business. You will definitely find it useful for other things. But if you want larger get the Redrock Avenger.

depends on how thick the books are. I put my macbook pro 17" in here. it is very snug. I am not sure with a 17.3" it may not fit. The cooler will fit. The lap top compartment is only for the laptop;the cooler and laptop won't fit together in that compartment. I travel lightly with this bag. I carry my macbook, my small wacom tablet with pen, a 1.5" 14x9'' folder, pencil baggy(not plastic box), and sometimes a water bottle, small chapter book. You can look this bag up in detail on youtube. I watched one on there a long time ago. http://youtu.be/mrmfS2oSHIQ

No I cannot fit a laptop in this bag. It is significantly smaller than it looks, and it won't even fit on me as a backpack

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 think it would be a good bag because of the several different pockets. However, if you will be carrying a lot of books back and forth, it may be not be the backbag for you. I remember my kids in high school having a lot of heavy books and this is not quite large or sturdy enough for that much weight. You would be better off with a bag from LLBean or Lands' End.

The bag is huge you can fit a laptop in it as far as a specific spot for a laptop no and also if you put tools in this bag with i think you would run the risk of damaging your laptop but if you got a outer case for your laptop i dont see why you couldn't but i wouldnt recommend this bag for laptop storage hope this helps

Certainly, used it through college. Enough room for my laptop and books if needed.

Probably not. May fit a MacBook 13 and one textbook. Won't fit 3 ring binder. So unless you only carry a small laptop and occasional book you should opt for something else

I use this for college -- I carry about five textbooks and a handful of folders along with a few notebooks of paper. I also carry a pencil box, a little bag that holds my digital recorder, as well as lip gloss and other things. I carry my lunch bag and I still have room for a bit more. Lots of compartments. I enjoy using it.

I would say yes it is too big for your average size backpack. ..if you are going to use it for school text books you will have plenty of room that is for sure.

You would be able to fit all your books, gym clothes, and possibly a science project in this bag. The next size down is nice, but it was too small for my 15.5" laptop, so it depends on what you'll be carrying.

I would think that you could fit maybe two books that size into it. Even if you couldn't it is still a really nice bag.
