I bought my Borealis primarily for graduate school, books that is. I bought a separate laptop bag and used it once or twice and then tried the laptop compartment in the Borealis. Well the laptop bag was a total waste of money, this pack is awesome for carrying your laptop. I have a 14in widescreen HP notebook and it fits great secure and snug. The padding on the pack is awesome and the waist belt tucks away unless your're carrying some heavy loads. I have used it for day hikes and its just as awesome for hiking as it is toting around textbooks and my laptop at the same time. Durable too, I have used it literally 5/7 days a week for nearly 2 years and it looks pretty mcuh new. Additionally, the organizer compartent is great for whatever you need to put in, its nicely organized. Overall amazing pack, I promise you will not be dissapointed.
