Where does the laptop go? Is there a side zipper for it at the "bottom" of the bag near the straps?

If you are looking at the 350AW from the front with shoulder straps away from you, then the laptop opening is on the left side at the back of the backpack.

There is a side zipper. The laptop goes on the strap side of the bag next to your back. I have made numerous car and plane trips without issues.

There is a padded pocket compartment at the bottom that you slide the laptop into. So once it's in the pocket you see only about 1 inch of the laptop. The top of the pocket is next to the top zipper of the bag so once it's zipped the laptop cannot come out.

No, there is no place to attach the strap unless you want to attach to the zipper.

Yes, there is a separate zippered and padded compartment for a laptop. It is the compartment closest to the shoulder straps. The cool thing about the shoulder straps is that they are made to flip backwards and over the front of the bag so that the laptop compartment is fully accessable without trying to keep pushing the shoulder straps aside.

No it does not. It looks pretty much like a normal backpack kids bring to school. The difference is in the inside where you are all the different areas to hold your laptop, cables. external battery and books (I carry a 1" binder and a leather binder along with the laptop in main compartment) the laptop envelope and envelope strap is in the main compartment. It took me awhile to learn how to pack it but now everything has assigned places so I just need to look in a pocket to know if I have it. There are so many pockets the document area (2nd biggest area) goes largely unused.

yeah there's a pouch, so when you open it you slide your laptop in the back pouch then put your notebooks and other stuff in the front

Yes and yes. There's a separate pocket for the laptop with some padding built in.

There is a laptop sleeve, and a strap to keep it. But the back of the sleeve is not quite thick and therefore not super protective I think.

The zipper in the middle splits the laptop from the other stuff which is what the TSA requires. You won't have to actually take the laptop out.

No zipper. The flap folds over though so it's hard for the computer to fall out, but not impossible I guess.

Yes. The inside middle part of the bag is a zippered section made for a computer. It's very spacious. This is a fabulous bag.

No, the zippers are to seperate pockets. I usually shorten the strap and put the bag in top if the luggage with the strap over the handle.

There is a shoulder strap. It attaches to small metal circles on the sides just behind the zipper (when you're looking from the front).

I have closed mine with a 17" Toshiba in the padded area. It fit without stressing the zipper. Also had an 8.5 inch Acer in the bag at the same time.

Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one. If you stand it on end, it has a felt pad on the inside bottom. On the outside bottom, it has ribbed plastic to assist with this bag not touching the surface. I found the bag to be secure for my laptop and have traveled with it. It has space on the outside portion to hold electrical items, etc. The shoulder strap is what came in handy for me and with the extra padding on the bottom and security straps inside, I decided to keep it. I hope this helps your decision. Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one.

HI Rick, The take off backpack does not have a specific padded laptop area - I use mine on travels (To Customers and also on the plane) and my laptop has a sleeve on it (Mac Air 15" ) and have had no problems, it is also protected by the front pocket as well as the shape of the top of the bag. Hope this helps
