Is it big enough to carry textbooks?

Uhm, no. It's best to just put a folder and pencils and daily necessitates (feminine, makeup, phone,etc.). If you stress it too much the starp will rip.

Yes. I use this thing for school sometimes and I can get my 17" laptop in it and two textbooks and a couple notebooks.

I would think so. It really holds a lot. It unzips to bottom seam so you can get things in and out easily. Approx 8 inches wide and 16 long. I can fit my laptop plus quite a few books. Has a padded pouch for laptop.

Short answer yes. I too am a full time college student and use this as my primary bag. I also carry a 13 inch macbook pro where ever I go along with and iPad in this bag along with notebook or two and sometimes carry a graphing calculator. But it does get bulky when you start adding accessories and chargers etc. If the text books you use are large (e.g. my Accounting book), it will not fit. If you are planning to have ALL of your text books with you then go with a larger bag. overall the quality is great.

My daughter carries about 3 large textbooks along with notebooks, folders and her iPad in this bag. It however does not hold her 15 inch laptop. Hope this helps.

I thought the compartment for everything-that-is-not-your-computer was tiny, but then I discovered that if you unbuckle the two straps on the sides of the backpack, then the the aforementioned compartment can easily fit three large textbooks, my binder, my gym shoes, my laptop chord, a change of clothes, and my water bottle/thermos. In conclusion, anything compressible, like clothes, will easily fit in this bag; even three days worth of clothes will be fine (unless it's an overstuffed downy winter coat-then it would just be the coat).

No, (unless you put a book under it...) This product is very sturdy and lightweight... I use it a lot with various sized textbooks. When it is not needed, it folds up nicely.

It is possible, but it will fit shortlly. I use a thin one and one or two books.

I don't think you'd have a problem with the bag holding up. My only complaint was that it was too small to carry text books.

Should be no problem holding a few heavy textbooks, notebooks, pencils/pens, etc. The material is heavy duty - military grade. The bag is a litlle larger than a regular size day pack.

Meh, only if you really stuff it, then you can maybe fit one text book in there. I can only fit like a five subject notebook, MacBook Pro, and some random supplies in there; a textbook (at least my huge science textbooks) do not fit in there easily with my other things.

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.

Yes, this will be big enough for college books and your Macbook. I actually had to return it because it was too big for me.

For rectangular things think of this as think of this as 10.5in wide x 13in tall x 5in deep. For kids carrying two tons of textbooks (like I did) this wouldn't be anywhere near big enough. If you need to carry some folders, a book, a one-inch binder, and a laptop in a padded sleeve, this will be fine.

Most of that will fit. There is plenty of room for the MacBook, iPad, and notebooks and smaller books. This is a rather slimline backpack and won't carry a ton of items. I do love it for my purposes, but I am not carrying books, only the iPad, MacBook and a few smaller items like notebooks. I hope this helps.

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