Is the inside of this pack's main compartment curved and awkward from the framesheet, or somewhat flat? (curious about laptop packing)

i guess more of the curved. the hydration pack is curved and that sits closets to your back, but there is some curve to the rest of it. This bag wasn't exactly designed for laptops. check out the momentum or the radial or the spin series. they will get you closer to what you're looking for if laptops are important. I should say that it's certainly possible to put one in there if you need to, remember there's not much of a bottom and no padding for one.

It has a pretty serious, rigid curve. Great for keeping your back ventilated, not so great for even support for a laptop.

There's a little curve, but you'll be able to fit a laptop without any trouble.

It depends on how much you put in the front zipped compartment. Without a laptop in the bag, mine falls over forward, with a laptop, mine stays upright.

I transport a 17" Asus laptop in mine without issue. It fills the space side-to-side, but doesn't cause the bag to bulge at all. My bag has an interior width measurement of 15.5".

It has some padding. It is also a very big pack. It will fit a lot of books in addition to the laptop.

I just tested mine. It's well-padded on the sides. Not so much on the bottom. I don't know what brand of laptop you use, so I can't speak to that with complete accuracy. It will depend partly on the thickness. But I use a similar laptop, and never had a problem with mine.

P.S. You might also want to save the box it comes in. It's fairly sturdy. I cut some packing foam to size so its braced and cushioned in the box and doesn't slide around inside when its in my back pack. I take it back and forth between work and home every weekend.

The answer is a definite "YES". I would know because I wish should have bought a smaller one for my needs. On note though is that it may not have the padding you normally see in packs that are meant to hold laptops. Lots of pockets inside.

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.

Mine sits upright most of the time. Similar to Jonathan's answer - depends on how you pack it - I'll typically have my laptop and a book or two in it, and it'll sit upright.

A laptop might zip up in there. It's not padded like a laptop backpack. I use mine for HVAC work. I'm pretty rough on my stuff and it seams to be very durable. I can measure it for you tomorrow

My 13" laptop fits in the bag with not much room to spare. I think I would put a laptop in a separate sleeve as there is minimal padding but then I usually do that anyway for peace of mind. Haven't used the panniers much but they are sturdy enough and adequate for my needs for a reasonable price.

The design is meant to have a pad slip in from the top, not side. But a spiral bound notebook seems like it would fit inside the portfolio if you don't mind it not being secured.

With my 17inch ASUS laptop I did use another sleeve by Solo. And even with the sleeve there's still room on the sides, like about an inch of space. So it doesn't slide across that much. If you don't use a sleeve depending on your laptop, let's say under 17inch laptop, I can assure you it will slide around but the bag itself is well padded. This bag has held up really well so far for me and I lug it through gravel, stairs, dirt, everywhere. And I pack it until it is stuffed but still able to zip with a couple heavy books and a 1 inch binder. I just don't like how dark it is inside. I hope this info helps!

I have this bag and it's really perfect for my MacPro laptop. The main compartment is divided vertically by a panel that closes with a velcro tab. And there is a zippered pocket and mesh pocket, no zipper. Both pockets are small and I don't really use them, but all my stuff fits in the side of the main compartment that doesn't have my computer in it. Hope that helps!

Highly problematic. The base of the main compartment measures 14" x 14". The sides are soft and flexible. 0If you put the laptop halfway between the bottom and the top it may fit by stretching the side panels a little.
