ebags Haswell Laptop vs Mountain Classic School Backpack - L.L. Bean

Smaller than expected. This bag is great for a small carry on. It does fit small lap top. It also has small compartment for pair of shoes on bottom

L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Cordura Pack | This pocket is bigger than it looks—and it looks pretty big.

It is just not the most sturdy bag ever. It says that it is for a laptop and while it will hold it I would for sure not carry it with only one strap over one shoulder as I am not certain it is sturdy enough to do this without ripping. Honestly, I have a 15' laptop so I won't use it for my laptop again as I don't trust the strength but if you have a very small laptop it may work. The quality of construction on this one is a tad bit lacking to categorize it as a laptop backpack, but if you are just headed out for a hike, or the zoo or an excursion and just need a couple things, it will be perfect

Pockets are a bit thin and cheap "looking", keep in mind I will update the review later down the line to report if that changes or they rip/tear. 3. Laptop compartment; looks good however the bottom needs a bit more padding. I was able to find some heavy foam and cut to fit it in the bottom, just to protect from setting down the bag while the laptop is in there

There's a little bit of dimension built in but probably better for flatter items, maybe a small notebook and then inside. If you can see, there's anot...

It was a little too much so for me so I tossed it in the washing machine three times in a row with a couple large bath blanket towels and now mine is a bit more relaxed and pliable, not looking so much like and astronaut backpack. This is a large backpack too as far as daybag type backpacks go. If you are about 5'5" or shorter this thing is going to look huge on you. I'm 5'10" and it looks kind of big on me
