How deep is this bag? In other words, besides the laptop, how many books will it carry?

Well, after putting in my HP laptop which takes up the entire back compartment, then putting in my power supply, it can take another 8.5x11x.5 pad comfortably on the inside. It also has an outside pouch. I guess it depends on what kind of book (dimensions). So, in a basic answer, yes, it can take a book or two.

You could get two hefty textbooks, maybe three if you are ok with a bulging middle part of the bag. It's only about 3" 'deep' with three sections(laptop, tablet, and aux.) It's a great laptop around the town bag, but not sure how durable it'd be with 20lbs. of books and school stuff in it... :-l

I don't have the exact measurements, but I use it for my 14 inch laptop and it fits with room to spare, probably an inch on either side an 2 inches of depth. The interior has a divider and my laptop will fit on either side. It's really a great bag, very solid construction.

I don't think it would hold enough books. They are too thick. I went to law school as well and most of us used rolling carry on bags for our books and laptops. Eventually I wound up getting a locker, which I highly recommend if they are available at your school. If you were only carrying one or two books at a time this bag would be ok. Good luck with classes.

Sorry for responding so late to this question, but yes, there is a sleeve for a laptop in this bag (sure looks like one to me). It is in the front, first set of zippers. I think your laptop would fit in there just fine and in the the rest of the bag (the larger back area, second set of zippers, your books and supplies would fit. It's a very accommodating bag. I hope that helps.

My daughter used it for school & could fit a large 4" binder & school supplies. My guess is it would fit a laptop. It lasted the school year & she's using it for this upcoming year as well. I hope this helps!

I just bought a 15.6 inch laptop and it actually fit in there with the charger. you could possibly fit a couple of books on top of that but not much more. Maxpedition also sells a small EDC bag that fits in a couple of the compartments. Theres also a hidden compartment in the back for concealed carry. Maxpedition sells a holster that velcros into the spot.

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.

No. If you put 4 notebooks and 4 folders, then there is enough room for maximum two text books. This bag is tall but not very deep.

I bought this for my fiancée who primarily keeps his iPad in it. I put my 15.4" Hp laptop in to get an idea to answer your question. It fit snugly in the bag with a couple folders also in it. If you plan to only carry your laptop, I think you're fine. But if you planned to carry books and/or a large amount of paperwork in addition to the MacBook, I wouldn't recommend it for that use.

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.

This bag is pretty big. I was surpirsed to see its size when it arrived. I think it can even fit bigger laptop than 15 or 16 inches. Its a huge bag.

My laptop is 14 inches, it works great and a little room for a larger laptop, like 15 inch. Yes it's an amazing bag.Also room for charger and pockets for pens, wireless mouse etc. great buy.

This bag is 12 inches high (1 FT), 11 inches across widwe, and from the sides 5 and 1/2 inces. This is a very durable bag and it is capable of holding 2 to 3 heavy books. Great Investement!!!

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.

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.

There is only one large pocket for the computer and one medium sized one. I have a 13 inch Mac, anything larger than that won't have a lot of extra room. Smaller bag than expected.

it holds a ton of stuff. a 17" or smaller laptop fits in the padded pocked (full note -- my Alienware 17.6" does NOT fit) and an iPad slips nicely in the back pocket for easy access. the main compartment expands to hold accessories and even a power brick.
