I travel a lot by train and work with an ipad mini. Is this light/portable enough to carry in a napsack?

I wouldn't. It's pretty wide and a couple of pounds at least. I don't have a tape-measure handy now, but it's about 2" deeper and 4-6" wider than my 15" Macbook Pro when folded up. You could carry it if needed, but it's not going to be convenient to lugging around normally.

It is certainly light but getting it configured takes some space and some effort. You might buy it, try it out at home, and then see if you consider it portable. I probably would not.

I just tried placing it into a somewhat large backpack. It is flat enough to fit inside and I thought it was light and easy to lift. But the problem is that it is rather long and the top will stick out. It would have to be a fairly long bag to fit it without showing. It's 22 inches long when folded up. If you don't mind it sticking out the top it might work. I'm just average strength and thought it was fairly easy to carry. If carried in a backpack with straps, I could probably have it on all day. I personally wouldn't carry it around because of the length, but I've seen people carrying bigger, heavier things in bags before. I just tried placing it into a somewhat large backpack.

No, it's big. I've been carrying to and from work and after week of doing that, I've decided to order a second one so I can have one in each place.

It's light enough but It's awfully big. You would almost need a full length backpack to fit it in. It's 22x12x2 inches. For travel I would go to a similar tray thst was closer to 16-18. " overall length

I would say not too heavy. It is a heavy mil and may require some folding and rolling practice. Would fit flat in a backpack or rolled and on top of a smaller pack (like mine).

You should be able to travel with it. It's the size of a normal duffle bag, but it will be heavy.

No. I think it would be too large. We also have the lay-n-go mini and it is a fabulous size for the airplane.

It is an alarm clock with a power cord. I'm not sure if that qualifies as portable to you. Personally, I would never throw it in luggage for a plane or auto trip. It is roughly the size of a hard-back book (but taller than a book is wide).

I think it wil be too heavy and the laptop pocket is working well to my 13 inch airmac and my Ipad but makes it little disconfortable as make the laptop pocket bulky. So I believe for short trips out of your back Ok but if you need to walk longer times it will not work. Hope it helps. Good luck and nice shots.

I travel and have no problem with it. It is small enough to slide in the side of your purse/bag. The ones that roll up (soft silicone), I found do not work as well when you use them.

It depends on the size of bag you are carrying. It will fit in a large tote, but if you're looking really compact this probably isn't the travel potty for you.

I have an Ipad 4 & I don't think it's heavy. The battery really last a long time and no issues on using the keyboard only thing is it gets dirty really easy.

No, if you look carefully, it won't. The iPad 3 slides in fine, but the bottom corners don't actually snap all the way around it (and it's a bitch to get out, because it is toooo snug a fit). If you r traveling, this could be a problem, having the iPad loose at one end. If you will never put it in a backpack or drag it around, it might be fine for you. The iPad certainly isn't going to fall out completely in transit. It just may not sit as solidly in the case as you would like for heavy use.

Yes, it is very portable, but you need fold the book stand, and it has certain weight. I suggest to carry it in a bag nothold on like a big book.

This is a heavy duty bag for traveling. I don't think it will suit your needs.My son has an Under Armor duffel bag, really big and much lighter tha mine.

It's not light weight, but I carry it in my tote bag. For travel I can take my kindle out of it's cover and it fits in the pocket. Wished I took it with me to England, I hand plenty of room.

I have one that is about the same weight and have carried it on many of flights and when you have an additional carry on it is a bit of a pain and if you have to run all over god and country in the airport it does get heavy. If you fork out some money for a backpack bag that fits the larger screen you will be grateful you made the investment.

I would say yes. But, if you are doing intense outdoor backpacking, probably not. When you first see it, it wont look that big but it expands and flattens nicely. I've gotten caught in the rain a couple of times and my electronical devices were fine. Hope this helps.

Yes it is! I like the mini more, its more portable. To carry around, travel, lighter, etc.

I've had it loaded for a dayhike for my wife an I (lots of water, some food, rain gear, first aid, etc) with no concerns whatsoever. I think unless you're planning on hauling bricks, you'll be just fine. I would have felt comfortable with it carrying twice the weight I'd given it, but I think it would become uncomfortable for the carrier. The pack isn't designed for very long and very heavy.
