Is the laptop sleeve padded enough to protect the laptop from being carried on a school bus, being dropped on a classroom floor, or just from a teenager?

The laptop sleeve is really only a thin sleeve and the back of the backpack is really padded so if you drop it on the front of the backpack it will probably break if its from a high distance

No. The only padding is on the back of the backpack when it rests on your back. If you dropped it, your laptop could possibly be damaged.

Very sufficient amount of padding. Carried my backpack with laptop for a month long trip and it was very protected even though I was in airports, cabs and other situations that were rough on the bag.

It's quite durable and resistant to the weather so far, but dropping your laptop with any case will probably not have a great result no matter the thickness of the padding and I really cannot answer this for I'd have to test it to answer, not the type of test I want to do. Lets just say that, for what you pay, you get quite a good case for sure.

Yes, it is padded well enough for your laptop as long as you don't toss the whole bag.

Padding is good to protect a laptop, however I would not recommend this backpack. I recommend you invest a little more and get abetted quality backpack. The zippers are low quality and the backpack is on the small side.

Not a padded one. There are plenty of places to put it, though. I depend on my tablet's cover to protect it against everything else that's in there.

No, unfortunately. It's a cover more than a carry case. It's the size of the laptop with no extra room.

Well I wouldn't say it was designed to protect against major falls, it's not padded in any way however I was glad to have it on when mine fell even though it landed on carpet not hard floor. My answer would be that it just might survive a fall depending on the impact but protecting the internals of your computer is another thing.

The interior is a soft fabric, but there doesn't seem to be anything in between the leather-like outer material and the fabric if that is what you are asking. But I have dropped my laptop in this sleeve and it was thick enough that there was no damage

A laptop might zip up in there. It's not padded like a laptop backpack. I use mine for HVAC work. I'm pretty rough on my stuff and it seams to be very durable. I can measure it for you tomorrow

Yes, absolutely. The compartment up against the handle is clearly intended for a change of clothing. I've put a bit of padding at the bottom and it holds a laptop, power cord and mouse. It's not padded or designed for this purpose, but for how I utilize the bag, with a larger size laptop that won't move around much, I find it to be fine. This compartment is separate from the intended computer compartment. By the way, I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

It isn't padded but it does have plenty of storage. My son doesn't wear it on his back and has only used it for "rolling" since he has so many books. The shoulder straps are padded and the metal bar is covered so there shouldn't be an issue. I'm very happy with the purchase!

Yes, I use mine at school everyday. I carry a Samsung ATIV book 6, which has a 15" screen. But I would recommend that you have a padded sleeve for your laptop because this bag does not offer that kind of protection.

No padding, not a "laptop" backpack. Very roomy with several pockets though. My 9th grader is very happy with it.

Yes. The back of the laptop compartment is padded. Laptop feels comfy and secure in there.

It's more of a protection from scratch and dust, rather than maybe a fall. Padding is quite thick. From experience, I carried my laptop in this case inside a backpack for a long-haul flight (USA to KL) and they survived. I hope this helps :)

It is padded all around, including on the bottom (but the padding isn't really any thicker on the bottom than on the sides.) Maybe I'm being too literal here, but I wouldn't drop it from the top of the bag to the bottom. But I wouldn't do that with any laptop with any bag. The padding on the bottom is about the same as the older, much less elegant Targus backpack this replaced -- so let's call it about average. But, honestly, if I was going to be dropping a laptop into the bag, I'd cut a piece of foam and put that into the bottom of the pocket.
