    I bought this backpack for my son who is currently in college. He has a 17” laptop which doesn’t fit or barely fits in most other backpacks. Not only does the laptop fit but there remains room for his textbooks. Plus room for supplies in the extra two front pockets and top pocket!

    Terrific Backpack for Student

    This is an incredibly good backpack, especially worth it when on sale. North Face has always had quality backpacks, and I was really pleased with my purchase. Pros: - LOTS of room and tons of compartments - all of pockets are roomy, and there are lots of pockets both inside and outside of the bag (2 bottle holders on each side.) Additionally, there are even dividers within the pockets of some of the compartments. - Has a cushy laptop holder, protects your laptop from the rest of your books and things. - The backstraps put less stress and pressure on your shoulders than the average backpack. - Can store TONS of books and supplies even after putting in your laptop. - Very sturdy and rain-resistant. Cons: The only real con is that this backpack is slightly heavy and not lightweight. Overall, this backpack is fantastic, aside from its bulkiness, and I would recommend this product to everyone, especially students who have lots of textbooks.

    Best backpack I’ve ever owned

    So I went through a phase of literally buying every backpack I kind of liked until I found the perfect one. I never did. I went through Samsonites, Incase, you name it.... but where one was lacking, the other was winning and vice versa. Point is, the backpack was either attractive or fully functional. Never both. This pack does both very well. It’s insanely functional with its varied pockets, it is comfortable, and to me it looks great. Awesome backpack :)

    EXCELLENT BAG

    Didn't expect Bestbuy to carry NorthFace bags, but had to snatch one when I saw it in stock. They had limited stock in this model and was the last one. Like any NorthFace Bags, it is top notch quality and has all the essential pockets needed for school, work, or everyday usage. Like most NorthFaces, it is designed so that you don't really feel all the weight pushing you down (if you know what I mean...) You feel more stable wearing this bag as it is hugging your back and doesn't droop down. Get one! Won't regret.

    I really like the looks of this bag. It carries easily and does a wonderful job protecting my laptop. My only concern is I wish it had a secondary main pocket. The pocket the laptop sleeve sits in is the primary storage area. The side pockets are cool.

    This laptop bag has a lot to offer there's a bunch of space inside it and you can actually sort out specific items of your own. Very durable bag and comfortable to carry I have a decent heavy gaming laptop but this bag fits really well in my back that the weight of it doesn't bother me at all. Well designed and crafted bag.

    This is a nice size backpage for college students or working professionals. Very light and distribute weight where it counts to prevent back ache or shoulder pain. The price is high comparable to other backpack but is worth it. Quality is very good and will last at least 4-5 years at a minimum (talking about rough handling here).

    Accommodates my MSI GT Titan Pro 17.3" Laptop

    I was looking for a backpack to accommodate my MSI - GT Titan Pro 17.3" 4K Ultra HD Laptop. I took my laptop into my local BestBuy. A BestBuy associate helped me select a backpack to fit my laptop (16 3/4" x 12" x 2 1/2"). I settled on the North Face backpack. While my laptop does not fit in the laptop sleeve, it does fit nicely in the main compartment. The North Face backpack has ample room for my laptop's power block as well as other accessories. The quality of the North Face backpack is excellent. Until a backpack comes out with North Face's quality that fits my large screen laptop in the laptop sleeve, this is my laptop bag of choice for traveling.

    Love this backpack. It has a cool look and fits my Macbook along with a bunch of other things. It has lots of little compartments to store things. It's pricey but the brand is a good one.

    Sturdy High Quality Materials

    The backpack comes complete with several compartments for daily use. The product is quite sturdy with high quality materials and fleece pockets on the inside of backpack. I do find the volume of the main compartment less than ideal to hold a laptop along with a few books. I am left hoping the main compartment would be wider to accommodate a few books for a student.

    Very durable...just needs more space

    First off, I think this is an excellent backpack! It’s way sturdier, and better looking than my previous backpack. I love the protective pocket for laptop storage (it’s the primary reason I bought it). The only thing lacking is the amount of space though. You have one large space (standard backpack style), and then you have 3 other storage “pockets”. Two medium sized, and one small. I travel a lot for work, and often need to pack a lot of stuff in here. Sometimes I have as much as 2 laptops, 2 tablets (with Otterboxes), a couple of books, chargers, and a few other miscellaneous items. While this backpack certainly gets the job done, things sometimes feel crammed in there. So I guess this backpack does have a generous amount of space for casual uses. But I feel like for what I need it for, it could use some extra space. I really like the backpack though, and am happy with my purchase overall. It’s attractive, seems very well made, and it has the cushiony laptop pocket. I’d have no problem recommending this backpack to someone.

    I bought this bag mostly because I trust the North Face brand. I've bought their products before and have never had an issue with them. That being said, I bought this bag because I was starting college and basing my horrible luck with my high school bags, I decided to splurge and buy this one. And I do not regert a single penny. It's very sturdy, the pockets and deep with a lot of little inside pockets for pens, small notebooks, etc.

    I was looking for a pack that had enough room for my Surface, another tablet, and other essential business items, as well as room for a pair of shoes and clothes for an overnight stay. This is it and still sits comfortably on my back. The bottom of pack is roomy enough for shoes and the side pockets are perfect for water bottle or thermos.
