How big is this backpack? Does it have room for a couple of large textbooks, as well as the laptop? Can the laptop sleeve fit a 15 inch laptop? Is the water bottle pocket big enough for a Nalgene?

Any info related to the above questions or any experience a student has had with this pack would be greatly appreciated

I was able to fit my 16" (with extended battery) laptop, in the Built sleeve. It was a little tight, but definitely fit, and has room for books and all that. A 1L Nalgene fits, but just barely... and that was with somewhat squishy stuff in the bag; if it were full of books, it may be difficult. That part could be better designed, but the bag is pretty great otherwise.

I am able to fit 3 1" binders and a text book in there. Pretty sure it would fit a 15" laptop. A Nalgene will fit, but it's tight!
