I'm thinking of using this for hauling books and papers to class rather than for carrying a laptop. Does the interior layout work well for that? Also, wondering if it is balanced and sits upright well, or might tend to fall over.

theres a padded divider which is great for a laptop but may not be best for LOTS of books, but if you like a divider for say books and something else it could still work. does not balance well / sit on its own. that said, i love the oil rubbed fabric finish and the deep purple color & style... functionality as a laptop bag is great.

It gets kind of heavy with a laptop and a couple binders. I could only carry my laptop, one binder and one book before it started getting too heavy.

Yes it is great , I personally carry my MacBook air 13 inch and there is plenty of space for a couple of books.

I purchased this bookshelf and it is great!, it is very strong, will it hold the weight of the books? yes, but... if there is any floor inclination... then it might fall forward. I am using it for computer devices, and other related game accessories.

Your laptop won't slide around. This backpack is very strong with lots of insert pockets in case you have more than one device. I found it useful to seperate papers, folders, gloves, etc. It's not a lightweight backpack, it is almost like a piece of luggage, which I think is a good thing. Great for hardcore college students.

I don't believe it is sturdy enough for the purpose. It could support a light laptop, but any greater weight could be catastropic because of the legs, any one of which could telescope to the closed position.

My cart is totally full of pendaflexes, folders and paper, plus I am guilty of stacking items on top of it temporarily, such as books, my laptop, or such. Supporting the weight has been no problem. It is quite sturdy.

This is a computer backpack. It's sturdy although I had to repair one of the should straps in less than one year. I carry a laptop , and other electronics along with a lot of paperwork. If you put just books in it maybe four to five big books would fit. I have had about 35 pounds in it.

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.

I think the roll out portion of the desk seems sturdy enough to use a laptop or books. I have numerous things including a printer on the top. The roll out portion has it's own legs for support.

I use it for work...I carry my iPad, folders, papers, etc. It will hold at least 3 books without any problem. I like it because I can "hook" it around my neck and it is comfortable enough for heavy loads. The plus...it has a zipper to keep everything inside in case you have an "accident" and drop it..nothing spills out...I love it!

You might check the specs--especially the height, but the interior space is very roomy. My only issues were the inferior clasps that attached the shoulder strap. One of mine broke with the weight of my 35 lb. keyboard. I replaced them with more heavy- duty connections.

The laptop will move around a lot because of the depth of the case and the inside isnt very padded. You can probably get a fitted case for the laptop and then drop it into the case with your other documents and necessities.

I have actually used it in some classes and meetings on my lap and didn't have an isuue balancing it. I have enjoyed this case.

I've never wanted to find out how much exactly, cause I don't want it to break. But I've been able to put all of my college books on it along with my laptop and some food. I really don't think it would break unless you say on it or put something that would obviously be too much weight on it. It's also wide enough for me to do my work on.

I have a 13'' Mac Book and it's literally floating in it, so I'm pretty sure any 15-inches-ish computer should be comfortable in it.As of weight, I often put some other (heavier) hardware along with it, and the structure of the backpack is really solid; unless you're transporting bags of lead, I think you should be fine. :)Maybe somebody who actually owns a heavy laptop can come up with a more accurrate experience feedback, but from my point of view, I wouldn't worry.

Hello Will,The backpack is really durable thats allows individuals to carry their laptop and three or four books. The backpack has plenty of room to put other things in alone with your books and laptop. I brought the backpack for my daughter and she really enjoys it.
