This backpack appears to be well constructed and padded. I can't say much about the durability, since I just received it.It's advertised as being able to accommodate a 17" laptop, however my ThinkPad T61, with a 15.4" screen, will not fit in the laptop pocket. It's just a little bit too wide for the pocket. I believe the issue lies in the fact that my ThinkPad was purchased in 2007, when 16x10 aspect ratios were the standard for laptops, rather than the current standard of 16x9. This makes a current 15-16" laptop a little narrower (and a little longer) than one with a 16x10 aspect ratio like mine. ThinkPad's are also known for their sturdy construction, which may make it slightly larger than an average consumer-grade laptop. I imagine this bag would fit a 16x9 15-16" screen laptop, but if yours is older, like mine, be careful. That being said, I've been thinking for a while now about getting a new laptop, so I think I'll keep this bag and store my laptop in a padded sleeve inside of it until I can afford to upgrade.
For comparison, my ThinkPad is 10" wide and 1.25" thick.
So overall, I'm happy with it, but a little disappointed that it can't fit my laptop.
